What is really strange is that it turns out that this was to Desktop. I keep my Desktop as icon-free as possible, so the logfile should have been very obvious - and yet I am positive that there was no icon for it when I first tried this. There is quite definitely one now, though - I think there may be a bug with the desktop UI, as I've noticed oddities with USB sticks or SD cards sometimes not showing properly when inserted. Anyway that's another issue, and when I can, I'll see if I can submit a bug report about that! -- Rhythmbox not allowing 16-character lastfm password https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/508546 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
