Same problem to me. Nautilus hangs and then gives up with a "Could not register the application: È stato raggiunto il timeout" message.
Workarounds; $ Sudo nautilus keeps working. Restarting Unity usually works, but I wouldn't consider it a solution. I attach strace/ltrace. I'm on a amd64 with nvidia kernel and 12.04 ** Attachment added: "ltrace.nautilus" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1000348/+attachment/3249997/+files/ltrace.nautilus -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1000348 Title: Nautilus hanging at start. Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Hello... As title says, nautilus hangs at start... What I did was to remove the ~/.cache/gnome-control/center/backgrounds folder to see if i could make gnome re-cache the backgrounds to the systems default and to see if it would make the background changer go faster... id did not, it just made nautilus crash (ok, I was expecting something) but then I could not start it again. I got the following message: nautilus: could not register the application: timeout was reached ok.. so i looked around on google and saw that some one deleted all settings linked to nautilus: ~/.local/share/nautilus/ ~/.config/nautilus/ ~/.gconf/apps/nautilus well it now starts sort-of, I get a white window and there is nothing else, so I think that it just hanged at start... All I want is a fast fix for this :-) ltrace file and strace attached. //Gego the Stupid :-P ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.38-generic 3.2.16 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu7 Architecture: amd64 Date: Wed May 16 18:55:50 2012 GsettingsChanges: org.gnome.nautilus.window-state geometry '930x724+0+56' org.gnome.nautilus.window-state sidebar-width 225 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release amd64 (20091027) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-01-12 (125 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1000348/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
