Bug Description

When navigating to computer:/// in Nautilus, the user expects to see the root filesystem listed. Instead, it is only shown in the places sidebar.

DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu hardy (development branch)"

Thanks for the report. Could you please be a little more specific about your issue? What steps did you take to produce this problem? Did the expected results change after a specific package upgrade?

Could you paste the results of running "sudo fdisk -l" in the terminal?

I updated one day and my desktop changed to this screen and some icons stopped showing up.

Part of it is back, the wall paper came back, the desktop icons came back, the icons under the Places Menu came back. But when I click on the Places->Computer Icon, my hard drive it on pictured.

I ran these three commands and then the screen changed to the tannish blank wall paper and the desktop icon didn't seem to show.
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get update
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get upgrade
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
since then I have gotten part of it back, but the file system icon only appears on the left and not in the middle like it used to in the Places->Computer->Computer-File Browser window.

No, Problem,
I have moved to Hardy Heron Alpha 4 via fresh install from Live CD.
after trying a
root@HewittRand-desktop:~# sudo apt-get remove libselinux1
as suggested by someone to fix another constantly crashing program.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/poker-network/+bug/95836/comments/11
nothing really worked on my computer after that, so I had to re-install, so I put the new Alpha 4 on here.
So I guess you can close the bug as it relates to me, for now, and I will file if it happens again.
thanks
