How do I reset nautilus to the default configuration?
I've reinstalled Nautilus from the maverick repositories after removing nautilus-elementary and the breadcrumb hacks, but I have no longer access to the "preferences" menu and the default toolbar. How do I reset Nautilus to the default configuration?
Update: I've tried moving both ~/.nautilus
and ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus
folders as suggested below, but my "Edit" menu is still missing the "Preferences" item. Running the nautilus-file-management-properties
applet from the command line I'm still seeing the "Tweaks" tab that nautilus-elementary added.
Solved: My problems where caused by the wrong nautilus-data
package being installed. I should have replaced the nautilus-data
package along with the nautilus
one when removing nautilus-elementary. Before that I should have known there was a nautilus-data
package ;-)
While nautilus is closed type the following in your terminal,
rm -R ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus
It will delete the folder with old settings.
Just a guess:
Maybe you could try to delete/rename .nautilus folder in your profile:
mv ~/.nautilus ~/.nautilus.bad
(rename) orrm -rf ~/.nautilus
(remove)
and then reinstall the nautilus package.
