    Unhappy Cant open home folder

    In xubuntu 11.04, first i try to open my home folder, with thunar, then an error message follows and the folder is displayed as blank.

    Failed to open directory "username".

    Error stating file '/home/username/.gvfs': Transport endpoint is not connected.

    I tried finding help around the web to no avail.

    It should not be /home/username unless you actually have a user named "username". Your home directory should be /home/whatever-name-you-logged-in-with
    Say your username is THunt....you *should* find home at /home/THunt
