Did you do a partial upgrade? (pacman -Sy) Because those are not supported.

Re: [Solved]Nautilus not working in gnome 3.16

I am having the same problem, recent arch install, GNOME 3.16, running nautilus yields up:

[owner@arch-hp-2000-notebook-pc ~]$ nautilus

(nautilus:3810): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.gnome.SessionManager.AlreadyRegistered: Unable to register client
nautilus: symbol lookup error: nautilus: undefined symbol: g_simple_action_set_state_hint

What is the cause of this?

Re: [Solved]Nautilus not working in gnome 3.16

I solved the problem by creating this file

$ sudo nano /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

then , put these lines inside the new file

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Files
Comment=Access and organize files
Keywords=folder;manager;explore;disk;filesystem;
Exec=nautilus --new-window %U
Icon=system-file-manager
Terminal=false
Type=Application
DBusActivatable=true
StartupNotify=true
Categories=GNOME;GTK;Utility;Core;FileManager;
MimeType=inode/directory;application/x-gnome-saved-search;
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=nautilus
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general
X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=4.4.8-1
X-GNOME-UsesNotifications=true

then running this command

$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop /etc/xdg/autostart/

and the last thing , upgrade my system , after that nautulus running normaly
