[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 ?
