Try this: sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart
Expected result: Home folder being opened in Nautilus at session startup. Actual result: "Starting Home Folder" appears in taskbar at startup for a while, but no Nautilus window opens. Change /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop as suggested, log out, log in, it works. Revert the change, relog again, it doesn't. -- nautilus-home.desktop silently fails to open home directory when is called by process started early at session startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/387723 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
