[SOLVED] Dolphin won't start when directory is provided

Hello. When I start dolphin from terminal like this

dolphin

it starts okay.

But when I provide a folder path, e.g.

dolphin /home/user/Downloads/Uni/

it freezes and it does not open.

This happened yesterday after I updated my computer (last update was last week). Can anyone help me with this please? Thanks.

Possibly related to https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=285750 and all the other tab-related issues,

From the description, make sure there's no running dolphin process when attempting this and rather do a complete strace than "strace -c" to see where it stalls. And since that's possibly dbus, also run "dbus-monitor" to see what happens there.
