Nautilus does not handle symlinks properly

[Lukáš Zapletal]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Hi,

after an upgrade to 9.04 my Nautilus does not allow me to go into linked directory (symlink). Example:

I have folder called "X" in my home, I create a symlink "Y" to "X":

# ln -s X Y

When I try to open it it under Nautilus it just says: Cannot open X because Y does not exist. Move to thrash?

Please note this is upgraded system.

Thank you for your bug report, not confirming on jaunty though, what filesystem do you use?

[Lukáš Zapletal (lzap)]

First of all I thank for your support.

I use ext3 for root and ext2 for /boot. Before upgrade it worked. I have tried to create link from the shell and from the Nautilus itself. No change.

Should I try it on a "clean" login (testing user account with new home dir)?

ps - this is my fourth upgrade but I am keeping my system as clean as I can do

To be precise:

/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw,relatime)

Package nautilus is version 1:2.26.2-0ubuntu1

I have tried to reboot several times and its ok now!

It somehow connected with the bug #371808 - Metacity crashes, unable to login after upgrade to 9.04

PLEASE CLOSE - UNCONFIRMED

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you really get the issue using X and Y in the same directory or are those on different drives?

[Lukáš Zapletal (lzap)]

These are on the one drive (the same directory).

Bue I am unable to repeat. OK after reboot. PLEASE CLOSE THE BUG.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]
