Ubuntu
nautilus package

opening folders in "Places" menu brings up cervasia warning - "this is not a CVS folder"

Asked by Dave

Binary package hint: nautilus

When trying to open the Home folder, Desktop or any other folders in the "Places" menu, I get the warning, "This is not a CVS folder. If you do not intend to use Cervasia, you can switch view modes within Konqueror." It then brings up Cervasia rather than nautilus. I do not use Cervasia or Konqueror. I don't know where this came from. I can still open up Nautilus by clicking on "Computer" under the "Places" menu.

I am using Ubuntu 8.10.

I apologize for reporting this incorrectly. I am not a computer person. I just use Ubuntu because I like it. However, I am not sure why this problem has occured. I am not aware of any configurations that I have made to make this happen. Any suggestions?

Please open nautilus from command line or by pressing on a desktop without other opened window ALT+F2 keyboard keys and write into opened window nautilus.

Nautilus come in front of you select a directory on the right nautilus frame and right click with mouse a drop down menu come in front of you go to the end of this menu and select:
Properties - click on "Open with" tab
Select "Open Folder" application if it is already into list
If you don't have "Open Folder" listed please press the "+ Add" button and Select "Open folder" from the opened list of applications.
Then be sure "Open Folder" is selected and optionally remove other unused listed applications

Hope this helps

Excellent. I had almost the same problem only with the CD/DVD-burner opening instead of Cervasia.

marcobra solved my problem!
