Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
How to reproduce : start gnome-control-center, select (the old) disk- admin icon left behind from dapper, right click with mouse and select "remove starter" from the popup menu. As a result of this, you'll find you're /home/user directory wiped clean ! :-( I've just lost my whole setup and all my documents, just doing these simple steps, I'm lucky to own a recent disc-image of that partition. ;-) Version info: gnome-control-center, version 1:2.17.4-0ubuntu1 Partion Info: /dev/hda8 - reiserfs, containing /home only OS: Ubuntu Feisty Fawn ** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- gnome-control-center wipes out /home/user https://launchpad.net/bugs/78500 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
