Upgrade 6->8: Could not open location 'file:///home/user'
I've upgraded my Fedora box from 6 to 8 and now I experience the following problem:
When I login with a new/old user using the Gnome environment, I could not browse my home directory using Places->Home Folder.
Quote:
Could not open location 'file:///home/user'
There is no default action associated with this location.
I think that I am missing a config file that specifies various environments. Although these configs should be copied from the skel if I create a new user...
Well there is a icon to my home folder on the desktop and I can browse it with nautilus/firefox. However the gnome menu Places->Home Folder does not work as expected. Same with Places->Desktop. Places->Computer works though.
Also I think that there are a lot icons simply not showing right in Nautilus. Instead there is only a non descriptive icon and a link with $name.desktop. If I want to use it:
Quote:
Couldn't display "computer:///Network.desktop".
The location is not a folder.
Rather odd, isn't it?
