I am experiencing a similar issue on my 12.04 Ubuntu installed on Thinkpad T420. The quicklist for home folder works only once. That is, right click shows all the options. As soon as I select any of those, it takes me to that directory. But now the quicklist is gone. Right click shows only generic options of 'open new windows', 'home folder' and 'unlock from launcher'. If I logout and login again, things start working again but for 'one time only'
I have no idea where to look for any logs. Please let me know how to generate/collect logs. Note: I have noticed that if from a terminal, I quit nautilus using 'nautilus -q' and then restart it with 'nautilus -n', quicklist start working normally. That is I no longer experience the issue if I kill and restart nautilus -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/958900 Title: quicklist for home folder is not working Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: quicklist for home folder is not opening videos,downloads,etc subcategories,it worked fine for sometime,but now it is not working ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.3.91-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-19.30-generic-pae 3.2.11 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-19-generic-pae i686 ApportVersion: 1.94.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Mon Mar 19 02:26:54 2012 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '609x496+433+134' org.gnome.nautilus.window-state sidebar-width 134 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Alpha i386 (20120216) ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-03-10 (8 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/958900/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
