Why can I not open a second or third window, and so on, to view directories and files?

If I click the Home Folder button the same Nautilus window keeps showing up.

Seeing that your original, unedited question asked to find Bleachbit, have you considered searching for a downloadable .deb package, or using a PPA that includes it? – ObsessiveSSOℲ May 29 '12 at 12:00

There are multiple ways to open more Nautilus windows:

  • Middle-click the Home Folder launcher icon
  • With a Nautilus window open, go to File > New Window (or get the option in the HUD)
  • With a Nautilus window open, use the Ctrl+N keyboard shortcut
  • Press Super+Shift+N (if it's one of the top 1 through 9 in the launcher)
