https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=310484 Summary: Home partition unaccessable, "Nautilus could not create the required folder /home/username/desktop Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Beta 3 Platform: i686 OS/Version: openSUSE 10.3 Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: josh.camp@yahoo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: System Test After fresh install using Suse defaults into Gnome, I tried to open all of the file managers. All of them give the report "Nautilus could not create the required folder "/home/username/Desktop", where "username" would be my login name. Underneath it follows with: "Before running Nautilus, please create the following folder, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it." I have tried using all of the file managers to create the folders required, but all report this error. I have tried using Yast2 to set permissions, but Yast refuses to open, telling me it's already running (it's not). I have tried to chmod, but permission to do so was denied. I am going to be forced to downgrade after this bug report, since I cannot run a system in which I cannot access my root or home partitions, so I will try to give what info I can: I have a Dell Dimension 3000, Intel 865G chipset, 80GB ATA HD, dual-booting windows XP and Beta 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
