I just started experiencing this in Ubuntu 10.04 64bit. First it started out with both my desktop icons and panels not showing up.
I fixed the panels by simply adding "gnome-panel" to the startup applications. However the desktop icons remain missing until I manually open up a nautilus window, then the desktop icons will appear. $ nautilus -q (nautilus:2060): Unique-DBus-WARNING **: Error while sending message: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) $ ps aux | grep nautilus jeff 2063 0.0 0.0 7616 892 pts/0 S+ 17:51 0:00 grep --color=auto nautilus $ nautilus Initializing nautilus-gdu extension (Icons appear after that) Nemes Ioan Sorin mentioned "vlc" and "samba" above which just happen to be two apps I just installed about the same time I started experiencing this problem. I'm removing those now and will test out the environment to see if that solved the problem for me. -- nautilus unable to start on login https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/329146 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
