[Isoss]

Hi guys!
I am having a problem with my gnome desktop (Ubuntu 7.10) .
Nautilus only opens for less than a second and closes! I can't see the contents of my desktop (background appears), and can't even right click on the desktop. having kubuntu, I uninstalled. gnome,and reinstalled everything again but still the same problem. Everything works fine on kubuntu. Please help me know what's the problem

Thanks

You could try to open nautilus from a terminal. Maybe it tells you what the problem is then.

You could also try to delete your .nautilus folder in your home directory and see if it helps.

In the recent past did you try to do something with gtk libraries ??...

coz nautilus uses gtk libraries... manual installation of gtk library was a problem one of ma friend faced...exactly as urs...
