Nautilus "files" starting automatically when login...

kreuz · 2014-01-20 23:10:47

Hi,

I have gnome in my computer and recently I have a weird bug.
Normally I use tilda terminal and I had set it up to autostart every time I login but now another application is autostarting and that one
is nautlius.
The curious thing is, if I check `gnome-session-properties` and delete it's job it automatically add itself to gnome tweak tool in the startup
application section, and if I remove it from there, it adds itself again within the gnome-session-properties so basically, I'm within a loop and I cannot
manage to remove it from autostarting.
I already checked if I had cron jobs autostarting it or maybe, if I had a systemd job managing it but I cannot find it nowhere, I don't know where to search
anymore.

Could someone help?

PD.- I even tried to delete my user and it's directories and create a new one but I have the same issue

Actualization: I managed to remove directly the autostart scripts from /etc/xdg/autostart and from $HOME/.config/autostart but I noticed something more....
Even if I kill the nautilus process, which when automatically started I cannot access it's window, it restarts automatically too when I start a nautilus process manually...

I have the same problem.

it appears startup applications configuration in latest gnome-tweak-tool is quite broken. Every time I've used it after 3.10 upgrade it seems to mess up my startup applications somehow.

Do you still have this issue if you only use gnome-session-properties?

Yes same thing

I have the same problem.

Killing the process works, but only until I bring up file browsing again. When I'm done browsing and close the application, the process lingers again, and I have to kill it to get rid of it.

The only way that I can open nautilus from the dash is by: ctrl + left mouse click. This opens another instance but the "phantom" instance is still there. I'm tempted to nuke the installation to see if that fixes it...

I have tried oher options but none of them works. I believe it's a gnome issue itself, maybe reinstalling gnome works.

Today i reinstalled gnome and not use gnome-tweak-tool and the problem is gone. So the problem was gnome-tweak-tool

The problem is gnome-tweak-tool when desktop icons is enabled . If desktop icons in enabled the problem is alive again. So disable desktop icons is the solution.

I did downgrade and my problem has solved.

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/gnome-shell-3.10.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

I think they found the issue and it'll be fixed by the next release:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722510

In the meantime, you can start Nautilus from your CLI by typing "nautilus". I have cairo-dock so I launch it that way.

or, like shadow82 said, I disabled desktop icons and problem was fixed, so we now wait the issue to be fixed
