I am new to the Gnome desktop environment. I have recently installed Fedora 3. Things appeared to have went smoothly, until I noticed that the wallpaper is no longer showing and the icons for home, trash, and My Computer have disappeared. Also, the file manager will not startup. After multiple reboots etc, I have yet to figure out what has happened to them. Is there any log files that would be useful anywhere to see if they are loading correctly after boot? I have looked thru a handful of logs and have not seen any problems. I guess I am at a loss as of right now as to where to look next. Any direction would be invaluable.

Sounds like your nautilus is broken. Nautilus is to gnome what explorer is to windows. It manages your desktop to.
When faced with a problem regarding the desktop and browsing files it is most likely your nautilus installation is broken in some way.
Open up a terminal and type: nautilus [enter]
Please post errors (if any)
ps is it broken for all users?

Hi, I cannot currently drag-and-drop in nautilus. Attempting to do so locks up the interface so that I can't click on anything, and hot-keys (eg Alt-F1) don't work. Switching to a console and running "killall -9 nautilus") resolves the problem, but restarts nautilus. Drag-and-drop works fine for other users on the same machine. I would like to know how to 'reset' nautilus' configuration data. I have tried logging out then deleting the .gconf, .nautilus and .gconfd directories. However, the problem remains, even after rebooting. System: Celeron 1200MHz, 512MB RAM, IDE HDD 80GB, Gnome 2.10, Debian Etch. I can find no references to this sort of problem on google. Does anybody have any ideas? TIA, Damien
I am using suse 10.0 with gnome/metacity 2.12. I have a multimedia keyboard that I want to use the volume keys to control the _headphone_ volume, not the master. I figured I could do this with gconf /apps/metacity/keybinding_commands and specifying the key in /apps/metacity/global_keybindings. This WORKS if I use lets say a "<Control>r" in the global_keybindings. It does NOT work if I set the command to my volume up key which appears to be "0xb0". I got that 0xb0 from the gnome control center keybindings area. I set another command to the volume up key, and thats what it populated in the key field. For example, it says my Play/Pause button is "0xa2". This is kind of hard to explain so hopefully you understand what I want to do now. Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't know how to solve that but maybe this blog entry[1] will help you. [1] http://blogs.gnome.org/view/uraeus/2006/01/24/0
You were absolutely correct. I tried the nautilus command and it just hung. Then I checked to see if it was happening for other users and it was. I was using up2date to update packages a few at a time from the fresh install of FC3. I must have either corrupted some of its’ dependencies, or messed something up while setting up VNC. Either way, I set it to download / install all updates over night and re-logged in this morning, and boom, desktop had been restored.
Thank you much for the insight, pointed me into the right direction. I am very new to gnome and am starting to really love the jump from windows to Linux.
Eric

Nautilus was definitely broken. Typing the command in the terminal just hung indefinitely. Turns out it has something to do with firing up two vncserver’s in the .bash_profile’s for a couple of accounts.
Thank you much for your input. It did get me started in the right direction.

Steve, I certainly do thank you for spending your time to answer my call for help. And I have found the setting in gconf-editor you described; I set it "on" and re-fired the desktop. However, that does not solve my problem. What that did was put an icon on my graphical desktop for every directory and file in my home directory. Maybe you did not understand my question ... but I have the impression you can help me solve this problem so please hang in with me one more round. You mentioned, "When .desktop became Desktop ...". What I want to achieve, I guess, is to put it back the way it was. I want the preferences repository to NOT be laying out in my home directory as a visible folder. I want to be able to cause "Desktop" (in my home directory) to become .desktop (a hidden directory among so many other hidden directories in my home directory). Can you tell me how to do that? ... maybe with another option in gconf-editor? I am very grateful for your willingness to help. I think a lot of other folks would be grateful, too! Thanks! ------------------------------------------------ Steve George wrote: > Bob, > > In gconf-editor there is a setting to specify whether to use the Home > directory or Desktop directory for nautilus. > > It is under apps->nautilus->preferences called "desktop_is_home_dir" > > When .desktop became Desktop I just symlinked the two together. > > Regards, > > Steve > > On 1/29/06, Bob Marcum <bmarcum <at> houston.rr.com > <mailto:bmarcum <at> houston.rr.com>> wrote: > > > > Todd Walton wrote: > > On 1/27/06, Bob Marcum <bmarcum <at> houston.rr.com > <mailto:bmarcum <at> houston.rr.com>> wrote: > > > >>How may I configure the gnome "Desktop" directory to be somthing > else ... as in .desktop?? > > > > > > Oh, jeez yes.
