Opening the "Computer" shortcut in the Places menu or running "nautilus computer:///" from a terminal window fails the first time after login if using the "Extra Pane" (F3) view (A.K.A "split view mode").
This issue was reported by the OP on AMD64 Lucid Lynx alpha 2. It has been confirmed on up-to-date Lucid Lynx alpha 2 i386.
[TEST CASE]
=============
1. Ensure "Extra Pane" (F3) view (A.K.A "split view mode") is selected in nautilus
2. Ensure you have not opened the location "Computer" since logging in
3. Open "Computer" from the Places menu OR run "nautilus computer:///" from a terminal window
[Current Result]
=============
An error message is displayed advising that the location is already mounted. Nautilus does not open. (See OP's "Screenshot.png" below)
Note that this only occurs the FIRST time nautilus tries to open this location. Upon dismissing this error message, nautilus operates as expected with the "Extra Pane" view (A.K.A "split view mode") enabled.
[Expected Result]
=============
Nautilus should open the location "Computer" without error with the "Extra Pane" view (A.K.A "split view mode") enabled.
[Work Around]
=============
1. Dismiss the error message & re-open the location "Computer" with nautilus. This error is only displayed the first time, all subsequent attempts to open this location will work without error.
OR
2. Disable the "Extra Pane" (F3) view (A.K.A "split view mode").
[Notes]
=============
This issue only occurs when using the "Extra Pane (F3) view (A.K.A "split view mode") in nautilus on Lucid.
This issue only occurs the first time the location "Computer" is opened in nautilus after login
This issue can be reproduced by selecting "Computer" from the Places menu OR by running "nautilus computer:///" from a terminal window
I have changed the package to nautilus as this is a nautilus issue - this does not happen when using thunar.
This issue only occurs the first time "Computer" is selected from the Places menu after login and only if the "Extra Pane" (F3) view is being used.
This issue also occurs the first time "nautilus computer:///" is run from a terminal window after login if the Extra Pane view is selected.
After the error message is displayed & then dismissed, any further attempts to select "Computer" from the Places menu or to run "nautilus computer:///" from a terminal window work as expected.
