The locations menu opens rhythmobx instead of nautilus

[Charis Kouzinopoulos]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Since today's reboot, choosing any entry in the "locations" menu stopped launching nautilus. Instead it starts the banshee media player. I tried removing banshee but the entries in the locations menu launch rhythmbox now. Removing banshee and restarting the system did not fix the problem.

The past few days i installed banshee and the dropbox-nautilus integration package, maybe they are related to this problem

not here, it does open nautilus, could you attach your ~/.xsession-errors file to the report? do you get the same on a new user configuration? thanks.

In my case also, it's been trying to open Rythmbox since today. Was all fine till a few hours ago and I cannot recall having made any major change in any settings since then. I've tried re-installing nautilus using Synaptic and rebooting but that hasn't helped. Also, in case of other partitions, it mounts the partition, but then attempts to open it using rhythmbox. Double-clicking the desktop icon of the mounted drive opens it in nautilus though. Also, nautilus is working if opened through terminal.
I'm attaching my ~/.xsession-errors file.

the issue seems similar to bug #662194

After reading the description on bug #662194 i can confirm that in my case this is exactly what happened. Quoting from the specific bug: "By having this option enabled by default when used on dir.'s the app chosen is set as the new default folder handler"

Please resolve this bug as a duplicate of bug #662194
