[SOLVED] Nautilus NOT handling locations.

Post by Jolinar »

Hi everyone,
I have a small problem,When I click on Computer icon on desktop I am getting message

Code: Select all

"Could not display Computer:///". Nautilus cannot handle "computer" locations.
I am also having the same problem with Network when Nautilus is open and click on Network in the left pane. Getting this error

Code: Select all

"Could not display network:///". Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations.
I've also noticed for some reason my "Windows" drive [yes I have a dual boot Win7 & LMDE ;-) ] is not being found usually in my left pane in Nautilus I can see my Windows drive and double click and then enter my password to mount the drive. Just wondering if there is any reason this might be happening. I'm also using the new mintUpdate and updated using Update Pack 1. However even after the update pack was installed I was still able to access my Windows NTFS Drive and Access Computer from the desktop & access my network through network at present this is not so. Any help would be appreciated.

Linux is NOT Windows ! You want to add a launcher to the desktop.

The second error:
I am also having the same problem with Network when Nautilus is open and click on Network in the left pane. Getting this error

Code: Select all

"Could not display network:///". Nautilus cannot handle "network" locations.
Is usually caused by not having a package installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends
I don't think that will fix the first error but you might want to install it and see what gets fixed and what doesn't.
Please add a [SOLVED] at the end of your original subject header if your question has been answered and solved.

@richyrich, thank you for stating the bleeding obvious! I've been using this distro since the release date in 201012.
Now if you have something useful to post I'll gladly read it! These links I'm referring to have been on my
desktop since the initial install!

@altair4, thank you for your suggestion, tried as qutoed and still no go!
In terminal after entering the command you suggested I get
gvfs-backends is already the newest version.

Maybe you either don't have fuse installed or you are not a member of the fuse group:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install gvfs-fuse
Then add yourself to the fuse group:

Code: Select all

sudo gpasswd -a your-user-name fuse
Unfortunately you will have to logout and login again for the group membership to take affect.
