The dropbox command is located somewhere else: ilan@ilan-main:~$ $HOME/Dropbox bash: /home/ilan/Dropbox: Is a directory ilan@ilan-main:~$
I just tried again right click on the dropbox icon on the taskbar -> Open Dropbox Folder and again it erased my desktop icons. One of the icons is to fire up Netbeans if that helps. Another one is to fire up Virtual box to start up XP. My guess is that it isn't important what exactly the icons are. Now I will log out and back in to get my icons back. I can still clearly see them in $Home/Desktop, so the bug is alive and well. -- 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/1453655 Title: desktop icons disappear on Ubuntu 15.04 when clicking Open Dropbox folder Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Status in nautilus-dropbox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I've been using both Ubuntu and dropbox for several years. With Ubuntu 15.04 there is a new problem that my desktop icons disappear when I click on the dropbox icon in the status bar and choose Open Dropbox Folder. Then the desktop icons will disappear - but will remain visible in Files -> Desktop. The only way I know to get the desktop icons back is to log out and then log back in again. The bug is 100% reproducible, and it never appeared before 15.04. I also have Copy on my status bar. Clicking on Copy -> Open Copy Folder has no problems. Likewise I can use File with a right click and use Open a New Window and that too is OK. Only dropbox has a problem and only since 15.04 If I can help in any way, please contact me ilan.tal - at - gmail.com To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1453655/+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
