[Solved] Gnome 3.6 - Nautilus doesn't work

D4ve · 2012-10-31 22:02:24

After upgrading to gnome 3.6 nautilus does not work anymore.

I just get an emtpy window with a titlebar. Then, after ~2 minutes, the left sidebar gets visible but nothing more. Also, i get high cpu-usage if i open nautilus.

First i tried to remove following folders, but nothing changed:

$ find . | grep nautilus
./.local/share/nautilus
./.local/share/nautilus/scripts
./.config/nautilus
./.config/nautilus/desktop-metadata
./.config/nautilus/accels

If i open nautilus with gksu nautilus all works fine and i get following console-message:

$ gksu nautilus

(nautilus:2928): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
$

Starting with normal user-rights produces no console-messages.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi D4ve, i've got news!
I discovered that the title bar gets normally hidden in nautilus and epyphany if the windows is maximized, but if you click on the top and drag it, the windows becomes not-maximized and the title bar visible..
i'm looking for a way to the title bar stay in the windows even it's maximized, but i've not found it yet...
if anybody knows how to keep the title bar visible...??

Ah, good to know, thanks.

But the main-problem still exists. Maybe it has something to do with ibus, as said above this is the only message i get on a console start.

hi,

It seems I have a problem similar with Nautilus.
High cpu usage, and system freeze after.
I can't open a terminal or switch app, had to reboot

I would like to test ibus integration too, but it doesn't work ; I have installed ibus-pinyin, ibus starts and if I do "ctrl + space", nothing happen.

Maybe, like you say, both problem, nautilus and ibus, are linked...

i don't really know why are you trying to run nautilus with gksu, really. what are you trying to do like that?

I have high cpu-usage and nautilus does no work, but gnome-shell itself runs smooth like all other programs.

I've read somewhere that gnome-apps, which freeze under normal user-rights, might work if opened with gksu. I know running (graphical) applications as root is not recommend, but i only wanted to test if it works.

By the way: Has anyone checked if nautilus freezes on a new user-account? Will try that tomorrow.

Hi,

In my case, create a new user solves my problem.
Thank you.

Jep, i've just tested it and it works for me too.

I'll try to figure out the difference, maybe its only a owner/permission-problem.

Don't want to migrate to a new account, even it's easier to do

Before upgrading to Gnome 3.6 I deleted anything gnome-related I could find in .cache, .config and .local/share directories (as a precautionary measure). Haven't had any issues people seem to be reporting here, well, apart from the background being black in Gnome Shell's overveiw mode. Downgrading cairo to 1.12.2-3 seems to have fixed that issue.

D4ve · 2012-11-02 16:22:57

I located my error: ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs

If i remove this file, nautilus runs without any problems (but nautilus-startup still takes a little bit too long, but that is a general problem of nautilus).

Hm, the black background sounds for me like an problem with nautilus and "let the filemanager handle the desktop". Could this be the problem?

The desktop wallpaper and icons are actually displayed correctly, the black background syndrome (an example) only happens in the overveiw mode (by pressing the meta/win key or by hovering mouse over the hot corner).

Hi,

Remove session or ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs solves partially the problem, at each logout, ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs is recreated and Nautilus is again slow and cpu eater.

I have found solution here :
http://askubuntu.com/questions/48446/ho … -dirs-dirs

You must edit /etc/xdg/user-dirs.defaults (in case, commented all...) and after (in my case again) commented all in ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs.
And that's it .

I know that the file is recreated, but nautilus does still work for me, so maybe it's not exactly the same problem?
