nautilus cannot handle ________ locations

I am running Backtrack 5 R2 64bit Gnome kernel 3.2.6. I run as root by default and am keeping it that way.

I get this error when trying to open Places>Computer, Places>Network. Also, USB devices will no longer automount. I have seen this error in multiple places and every solution I have tried does not work e.g.:

Code:

#1
Remove /usr/local
sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.old

create /usr/local
sudo mkdir /usr/local

restart your computer.

#2
Solution was to remove all libglib and libgio files in /usr/local/lib. Then the libglib and libgio from /usr/lib are loaded.

the first one simply did not work and I do not have a /usr/local/lib so the second solution is out. These were the most common solutions I came across.

Does anyone have any other solutions I can test?

type the following command and post the output here

Code:

cat /etc/fstab

this will give us an idea about your partitions
also type the following command and post the output here

Code:

mount

the problem may be about the mount options of the filesystems

auto and noauto With the auto option, the device will be mounted automatically (at bootup, just like I told you a bit earlier, or when you issue the mount -a command). auto is the default option. If you don't want the device to be mounted automatically, use the noauto option in /etc/fstab. With noauto, the device can be mounted only explicitly.

user and nouser These are very useful options. The user option allows normal users to mount the device, whereas nouser lets only the root to mount the device. nouser is the default, which is a major cause of headache for new Linux users. If you're not able to mount your cdrom, floppy, Windows partition, or something else as a normal user, add the user option into /etc/fstab.
