[Bug 876443] Re: Nautilus file explorer issue when no external monitor is present post 11.10 upgrade

 

did you restart your session for the log?

reading your log you have several

"ERROR: Invalid X Screen 1 specified on line 57 of configuration file
       '/home/slyons/.nvidia-settings-rc' (there is only 1 X Screen on this
       Display).
"

Does removing this file fixes your issue?

Title:
  Nautilus file explorer issue when no external monitor is present post
  11.10 upgrade

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading from 11.4 to 11.10, whenever I boot without my
  external monitor plugged in, it gives me an error about not being able
  to load the display config - I had this error on 11.4 so it is fine
  and expected.....however........upon giving the error in 11.10,
  Nautilus File Explorer seems to switch to a different old / safe mode
  - desktop icons are white and blank and the file explorer is the older
  non-ubuntu grey and basic looking. I can rectify it by doing "killall
  Nautilus" and then opening "Files" again, everything is restored as it
  should be. When I reboot with my external monitor selected everything
  is fine, so it seems to be this display config error that is causing
  nautilus to switch to a different mode.

  Is there something needs adjusted in the order that nautilus / X11 is
  loaded ?
