Desktop icons and right-click menu problem

I was running v 8.04 of Ubuntu. I had desktop icons for Computer, my Home and
Garbage Bin. Right-clicking on the desktop brought up a menu.

I upgraded to v 8.10. Suddenly, none of those things worked anymore.

However, I found that if I opened a terminal, typed nautilus and pressed Enter,
all was back to normal. When I closed nautilus, though, all were gone again.

I can every time I boot up, open a terminal, run nautilus and minimise the
terminal window for the duration of my session, but there must be an easier way
to get things back to the way they were in v 8.04.

I'd be grateful to be told what it is.

Thanks for reading this.

autorun

Why it is not possible to have an autorun feature also for external hard disks?
It would be useful for synchronization

This should works just fine, at least on Fedora.

Maybe a vendor patch or integration issues are getting in your way, what
distro and versions are you seeing this on?

Re: autorun

I don't see them in nautilus preferences. I'm on ubuntu jaunty
Am I missing something? Maybe another autorun type exists and I'm not
aware of it.

question about Unmount/Eject on removable media menus

Hi:

I'm confused as to the actual difference between "Unmount Volume" and 
"Eject Volume" for removable media.

I think I know how they might work:
- Eject Volume would be for media in devices that have an actual eject 
action (like CDs and floppies)
     - it would first do an unmount and then perform the eject (if 
possible - some media eject might not
       be under software control)
- Unmount Volume would be for other sorts of media

However this does not appear to be what is happening.

First, there is the warning in the Nautilus user documentation
http://library.gnome.org/users/user-guide/stable/gosnautilus-464.html.en 
in "To Eject Media" that says

You must unmount removable media before ejecting. Do not remove a USB 
flash drive before you unmount the flash drive. If you do not unmount 
the media first you might lose data.

Second, the "Eject Volume" entry seems to show up almost at random.  It 
shows up for some of my USB keys, but not others; it shows up for a 
PCMCIA to CF adapter.

Does anyone know what the situation is supposed to be?  Is it that 
Nautilus just picks up on some property of the media provided by some 
underlying layer?

nautilus-actions is back

Hi everybody,

I didn't want see nautilus-actions fall back in the obscurity. As many of you, I use this so practical
extension on an every day basis, and I was upset to no more find any upgrade nor maintenance.

Frederic has created this project, led it during many years and really made a great work. I'd wish thanks him
for all of that. But time has passed, Frederic has wished reorientate his time differently, and he was
searching for a successor for about two years now.

I've been lucky enough to come in a moment where Frederic had some time to help a lot and give me some key
indications about his program and its environment. With his agreement, nautilus-actions has so now a
brand-new project manager.

I'm very proud of this new rule in the open-source communauty.

In the next weeks or so, and with your help, I hope we will be able to release a new "official" version (which
may even include some patches currently waiting in Bugzilla !).

The historic web site is now available at http://www.nautilus-actions.org
A mailing list is created: see http://pwi.dyndns.biz/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-actions-dev.

Your comments and feedback, now and in the future, will be greatly appreciated as they were in the past.

Regards
Pierre
