Nautilus cannot handle “computer” location on Ubuntu(Karmic Kaula)

Problem:

Last week i have experiencing error during opening Computer, Network Folders, Destop and Recycle bin on Ubuntu Karmic Kuala. And flash drive cant do the automount anymore.

The error says :

Nautilus cannot handle "computer" location

I found out that i have upgraded my glib library under /usr/local few days ago.

Solution:

Remove /usr/local
sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.old

create /usr/local
sudo mkdir /usr/local

restart your computer.

Try to check you computer folder and its working! Good luck!

Updated: correction from Amar Patil, Thanks….

  1. i had also same problem. thnx now it works for me..
    just little correction in your instruction.

    1st instruction should be like as follows..
    sudo mv /usr/local /usr/local.old

    Thanks & regards,
