Bug Description
Binary package hint: thunar
Occasionally I get the following error message when trying to access my home folder with thunar (1.2.1):
"Failed to open directory "myname". Error stating file '/home/
At the same time its no problem to access the home folder with other file managers like nautilus. I should add that I use an encrypted home partition (sdb1) while my root partition is on a seperate partition (sda1). When this error occurs I usually reboot to fix it.
Changed in thunar (Ubuntu): | |

I have encountered this exact issue also, and also on a machine where I am using an encrypted home directory. Rebooting does also make it go away when it happens; simply logging out and back in is not sufficient to do so. It was also a newly installed system, so there was not much that yet had been tweaked or configured. Next time it happens I will see if there is also any log messages. Particularly I suspect maybe it is some issue with fuse mounting on top of ecryptfs.
