x-nautilus-desktop:/// and can not rename or delete "Audio Disc.volume
Hi guys can you please help,

I have noticed nautilus crashing since yesterday when i insert CD media.
All icons disappear.

However if I reboot without media in my drive or re-login all icons are back.

There is one Icon called "Audio Disc.volume" that has been created and i have no idea how to remove this from my desktop.

Error Sorry, could not rename "Audio Disc.volume" to "Audio Disc.volume ": The specified location is not supported
It apparently sit at location x-nautilus-desktop:/// and has no rights or associations or permissions hove do i fix this error?

I hope i'm clear about the issue
1St Issue nautilus crashing
2nd issue this seemingly lost icon that shouldn't be there, i'm sure these two issues are related?

Thanks:confused:

I don't see anything that stands out but a .desktop file is named different from what is displayed. Something call AudioVolume, could be alsavolume.desktop. I was hoping one of the icons would stand out and look like the one positioned on your desktop. Anything ?
Could you right click on the offending Icon and see what name is under properties?

Here is a shot in the dark. In terminal type
sudo rm Audio Disc.volumeIf it won't let you do that type
sudo rm Audio hit tab for auto complete then enter.

christo@christo-desktop:~$ cd Desktop
christo@christo-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo rm Audio Disc.volume
[sudo] password for christo:
rm: cannot remove `Audio': No such file or directory
rm: cannot remove `Disc.volume': No such file or directory
christo@christo-desktop:~/Desktop$ sudo rm Audio
rm: cannot remove `Audio': No such file or directory
christo@christo-desktop:~/Desktop$

I can't see anything in the command prompt that shows thet the file is there but it still shows up in the GUI on my desktop.

What will happen is I rename my Desktop to OLD and create a New Desktop, Will I stuff enything else up.

Im using Gnome 2.26.1 with Compiz and some Screenlets.

And there is some Wine stuff.

I have tried several things now, it seems it has someting to do with the way nautilus fires up your default program used to read Audio CD's, has anyone had similar problems with Icons disappearing when you load an Audio CD.

I till can not delete the "Audio Disc.volume" icon created some time earlier and cant find a way to give the filr at least rights to start working on it is' just visible in the gui...

Freeking me out....!! AArrgggg!! :confused::confused::confused:
