    11.4 upgrade Home folder launcher not working

    Hello,

    After a bumpy upgrade to 11.4 I have found the home folder launcher does nothing. Does anyone else have this? Is it a bug or am I likely to have a bad configuration?

    Thanks
    Neil

    Re: 11.4 upgrade Home folder launcher not working

    My launcher works fine (Thunar in Xubuntu). However, it is treating my old "/home" directory as a separate partition and doesn't want to mount it. Seems my current /home is in the "/" partition, which has very little free space in it. I upgraded from 10.04 with the live cd. Anyone have a suggestion? I hope....

    All the other launchers seem fine. I have tried pinning a new launcher from another folder and that didn't work either.

    Thunar file manager works though? But I would like the Nautilus features.

    Thanks

    And we are talking about Unity or Xubuntu?

    [Solved] 11.4 upgrade Home folder launcher not working

    Ok, in the end it looks like some old settings were getting in the way. I just created a new user and found that the default desktop was working for them. So I backed up all my config settings for my main user, and let the system re-create them. Then replaced config settings for individual applications as needed. A bit hacky but it worked well.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    Neil
