Description Joshua Camp 2007-09-14 05:59:22 UTC 
After fresh install using Suse defaults into Gnome, I tried to open all of the file managers. All of them give the report "Nautilus could not create the required folder "/home/username/Desktop", where "username" would be my login name. Underneath it follows with:

"Before running Nautilus, please create the following folder, or set permissions such that Nautilus can create it."

I have tried using all of the file managers to create the folders required, but all report this error. I have tried using Yast2 to set permissions, but Yast refuses to open, telling me it's already running (it's not). I have tried to chmod, but permission to do so was denied. I am going to be forced to downgrade after this bug report, since I cannot run a system in which I cannot access my root or home partitions, so I will try to give what info I can: I have a Dell Dimension 3000, Intel 865G chipset, 80GB ATA HD, dual-booting windows XP and Beta 3.
