I see many folders besides your /home folder. What do you mean when you say you cannot see anything except your home folder?

What update did you run? Did you upgrade from one version to another?

I just run Software update this morning, I have already upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04 without any problem untill now, and was fine before the update this morning.
On the Desktop on the left on Unity there is a Files Folder, before when I open this I could see all you can see on the console output, but now I an can only see
Places/Recent
home
desktop
documents
downloads
music
pictures
videos
trash

[jamesisin]

Can you attach a screenshot of that?

[hoboy]

Here is the attachement

[jamesisin]

This looks normal to me. I don't understand what's missing for you. I see some files. You are able to navigate to your Pictures directory. What are you trying to accomplish and yet fail?

Those would not normally appear in the left-hand pane. You added those yourself at some point? Can you just add them back? They are both in the ls ouput you posted above. You'll just need to recreate the shortcuts in the left-hand pane if you want them to appear there.

ooooooooook
Weird you said that, I have not done this specifically.
How do I do that ?
for example these 2
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 Apr 25 2012 usr
drwxr-xr-x 15 root root 4096 May 19 10:32 var
I have absolutelly no idea how to do it

[jamesisin]

Navigate to the location in question. Once there, you can drag and drop the folder into the left-hand pane.

To type in a location in Nautilus (the file browser you've been using) open any folder, use the Go menu, and select Location. The two folders you want are /usr and /var respectively.

There are other ways but this should get you started.

[hoboy]

Is it this way you mean to navigated ??
luc@luc-Satellite-A300D:~$ cd /usr
luc@luc-Satellite-A300D:/usr$ nautilus
luc@luc-Satellite-A300D:/usr$ sudo nautilus
[sudo] password for luc:

(nautilus:4146): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/luc/.config/ibus/bus is not root!

when I use nautilus it only open the home folder nothing else
------------------------------------------
How can I navigate to something I can not see ?
usr , var ... are not visible under files.

He means goto the directory in nautilus and you can press ctrl+d to bookmark in the left pane.

The tree view option
242802
in the left pane has been removed.

Clicking on "Computer" in the left pane will show all your top directories.

Nautilus is the file browser.
So if there are particular folders you use a lot, browse to that location in the file browser and then hit ctrl+d to bookmark the folder.
As said before "Computer" in the left pane takes you to "/".

You cannot enable the old tree view in the left pane, just add individual bookmarks.

[deadflowr]

If you click the cog in the top right corner, there's an 'add bookmark' in there.
