Nautilus does not launch anymore after update to 22.10

pl flag

Since I've updated my OS to 22.10, Nautilus does not launch anymore.

I can launch it in terminal with

sudo nautilus

but with a warning :

** (org‧gnome.Nautilus:5826): WARNING **: 08:31:26.276: Unable to get contents of the bookmarks file: Erreur lors de l’ouverture du fichier /root/.gtk-bookmarks : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
** (org‧gnome.Nautilus:5826): WARNING **: 08:31:26.277: Unable to get contents of the bookmarks file: Erreur lors de l’ouverture du fichier /root/.gtk-bookmarks : Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type

Without "sudo", it doesn't work :

emeric@DellUb-Pawouet : ~ $ LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nautilus
Failed to register: Timeout was reached

edit Adding here output of Strace nautilus

I've already tried some stuff :

  • reinstall nautilus with or without purge
  • reset of tracker
  • python réinstallation
  • killall process of nautilus...

Waiting to fix it, I've installed Nemo.

Please, run the app as `LANG=en_US.UTF-8 nautilus` to have messages in English. Other than that, I'd try running it under strace as `strace nautilus` to perhaps try to see what it may time out on.

I'm curious if you're running Wayland (windowing system) or X11. I've saw quite a few issues when running Wayland, switched back to X11 and all those issues were resolved. Check Settings...About...Windowing System A switch to X11 may fix your issue.

I've used the two windowing system (switching at session start). Same problem on both :(. X11 is the one I use the most (Wayland has compatibility isues with Discord screen sharing)

Hey ! it's working again since yesterday \o/.I don't know why exactly. I've done a new time some steps I done before, but this time it worked. I think deleting nautilus folder (in home) manually and restarting completly the computer make the trick. I don't know why it didn't work first time. Do nautilus launch if you create a new user ?

I had the same problem, what solved it to me was the answer in https://askubuntu.com/a/1150219/71473 but using Tracker 3

$ tracker3 reset -s

Update: looks like this isn't a permanent fix, I have to run this command every time I boot the computer.

Update 2: yesterday I run

$ tracker3 reset -r
$ tracker3 reset -s

and today I didn't had to run any command for nautilus to behave correctly. So this seems to be the permanent solution.

Update 3: I'm still looking for a permanent solution...

Update 4: the problem looks fixed for a few weeks now as of 12th June 2023. Don't know how or why...

I've updated today. Had the same problem. Done a "killall nautilus" and then it worked. (But had to do it several times yet) Cheers.

Did in ~:

rm -rf ./.local/share/nautilus ./.config/nautilus

And this fixed the problem

I have the same issue, but this doesn't solve it for me. Can you confirm this is a effective solution?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
