Binary package hint: nautilus

The release of Ubuntu is 9.10. and the version of nautilus is 2.28.1-0ubuntu1.
I wanted to rename a file and pressed <F2> but didn't happen anything. when i right clicked on it, all the options expect "compress, and send to" are disabled. The same is happening with all the other files. Right now, I'm copying some files from my pen-drive into Music folder.

do you have write access to the system you are using?

[Jabez Athota (jabez-athota)]

yes, I logged in as root for some reasons. As soon i finished copying files from pendrive, everything turned back to normal. The size of files i was copying was more than 5 GB.

Please could you run in a terminal: "ls -la /home/username" and check that you have permission in all those files under your home (also check at .gnome2 directory), Thanks.
