As of right now, when I reboot and login, my desktop has no icons and isn’t showing my background. Also Nautilus is not working, I get the following when I try to run it from the terminal.
mike@linux-f8mk:~> nautilus

This all seemed to happen when I upgraded, then reinstalled nautilus. Prior to the upgrade, my desktop was working, but when I clicked on an icon (didnt matter what it was) it would open my home folder in nautilus, then nautilus would crash.
EDIT: Just remembered something. I was trying to install the Java JDK into the /usr/local folder. I messed up and unistalled, but it left folders in the local folder. After looking at all of the files and folders I was fairly confident that all were from java, so I emptied local… is that bad?
