I was referring to a similar bug that Christian mentioned. As I said: it was fixed in 1:2.29.92.1-0ubuntu3 and a local restart of nautilus.

Andres: can you please comment?

I updated to Lucid recently and while all my files disappeared from the “Desktop”, the files were still there when I browsed to the Desktop folder using nautilus.

Are updates in ubuntu allowed to touch the users /home directory? I would find this very strange (and unacceptable). My guess is that it is file system related.

What caused it? What is the LP bug number?

Hi. So this is pretty much what the Ubuntu team would consider show stopping critical bug. So thanks for testing Lucid, but sorry that you had this experience.

I you haven’t done so already, could I ask you to log a bug in launchpad so the Ubuntu devs can figure out what happened and fix the issue?

$ubuntu-bug update-manager

would probably be a good place to start.

TIA

Cheers, Rick

Are any icons shown on your Desktop at all? Is nautilus running at all? Since nautilus 1:2.29.92.1-0ubuntu3 works again.

It is important to file a bug. Did you? Data loss is one of the most serious if not the serious bugs.
