Places - home link broken

[hangman_jdf]

Did a clean install of 9.10. I have my /home on a different partition. When I try to open /home from places, F-spot tried to open and failed (probably a different issue with F-spot). I removed F-spot and now I get an error: Could not open location 'file:///home/myusername'. I am able to get to my /home through the filesystem or using terminal; it is through Places that I am unable. I think that there is a broken link, but I am unable to find it.

I made sure I chose an application to open the folder, nautilus (file browser).

Any ideas?

Is this what you tried? Right clicking on any folder in your file browser (Nautilus) and select "Open With", Other Application, and then File Browser?

[hangman_jdf]

Yes, and that works.

Only when I go from the Main Menu - Places - Home (or any other file connected to /home do I get the error).

Error: "Failed to execute child process "f-spot-import" (No such file or directory)"

You might try looking at ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list to see if fspot is listed there or if nautius is registered.

Here is what my line looks like:

inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;

A quick way to view it:


grep "inode" ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list


A more aggressive remedy may be to rename .local to something else. A new .local folder will be regenerated when you log off and log back in.

Thanks. I think that I fixed it. The linking appears to work. Not sure how the "f-spot-import.desktop" got there.

The file had this on the line:
inode/directory=f-spot-import.desktop;nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus.desktop;

Changed the line to read:
inode/directory=nautilus-folder-handler.desktop;nautilus.desktop;
