Normally disk partitions appear on the desktop as icons.

But sometimes, when I start or restart the computer, they don't.
Logging out and in again, solves this and they appear again.

When they don't, I also cant right-click on the desktop wallpaper to get the context menu up.

I don't know how to reproduce this..

Hi,

Is it all partitions that are missing, or just some of them?

This sounds like an issue with gnome-desktop if you can't
get the right click menu, so I'll send the bug that way.

Thanks,

James

rather due to gvfs or nautilus, gnome-desktop is gnome-about and a library used for desktop files, nothing to do with this issue. Could you attach your .xsession-errors when having the bug?

James Westby, its all the partitions missing.
I cant right-click, and I cant hold down the left mouse button and drag to make a selection.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you still get the issue? could you attach your .xsession-errors? is nautilus working correctly when you get this bug?

[Fred (eldmannen+launchpad)]

No, I haven't got this issue in a long time.

I think its just some bug that was in some version of something, at one point in time in Hardy Heron.
I guess they fixed it or something maybe...

closing the bug since that works correctly in hardy now
