Can't open hard drive partitions from places menu.
Ubuntu 10.10
I would like to access the partitions of my hard drive from the Places menu. They show up there, but when I click them, the menu just closes. I can access them by navigating Places>Computer>"Drive_Name" but it would be more convenient. I was able to access them before, but something has apparently changed..
Thanks in advance for the help.

Sorry you're having problems.
Sometimes Nautilus messes up and needs to be restarted. If you open a terminal, type and retry.
If that doesn't work, try logging in and logging back out.

No luck..

I would suggest deleting your .nautilus file under /home/USER/.nautilus .
This clears out the cache and it will rebuild automatically.

I deleted it, logged out and back in, but it doesn't work. .nautilus showed back up, but it shows up as an empty directory.

Don't worry about your .nautilus folder being empty. It will fill up with stuff after you use Nautilus for a while.
Are you using the most recent version of Nautilus? Have you updated in a while?

Would that be accomplished through the Update Manager or through Terminal? Update Manager says I'm up to date.

I just discovered that all of the locations in the Places menu (excluding Computer) are inaccessible, not just hard drive partitions. I don't know if that makes a difference or not.

Upgraded to 11.04. Everything works now.
