Computer-File Browser Does not display Hard Drive Icon

[miked]

When navigating to computer:/// in Nautilus, the user expects to see the root filesystem listed. Instead, it is only shown in the places sidebar.

root@HewittRand-desktop:~# cat /etc/lsb-release

DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.04
DISTRIB_CODENAME=hardy
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"
root@HewittRand-desktop:~#
Computer-File Browser displays SCSI Drive Icon but not the Hard Drive Icon anymore.

Thanks for the report. Could you please be a little more specific about your issue? What steps did you take to produce this problem? Did the expected results change after a specific package upgrade?

Could you paste the results of running "sudo fdisk -l" in the terminal?

I updated one day and my desktop changed to this screen and some icons stopped showing up.

[miked (miked11)]

Part of it is back, the wall paper came back, the desktop icons came back, the icons under the Places Menu came back. But when I click on the Places->Computer Icon, my hard drive it on pictured.

[miked (miked11)]

I ran these three commands and then the screen changed to the tannish blank wall paper and the desktop icon didn't seem to show.
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get update
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get upgrade
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
since then I have gotten part of it back, but the file system icon only appears on the left and not in the middle like it used to in the Places->Computer->Computer-File Browser window.

Thanks for the bug report. This particular bug has already been reported, but feel free to report any other bugs you find.

No, Problem,
I have moved to Hardy Heron Alpha 4 via fresh install from Live CD.
after trying a
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get remove libselinux1
as suggested by someone to fix another constantly crashing program.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poker-network/+bug/95836/comments/11
nothing really worked on my computer after that, so I had to re-install, so I put the new Alpha 4 on here.
So I guess you can close the bug as it relates to me, for now, and I will file if it happens again.
thanks
