I retry a few times, same result. So I open a terminal and try to launch Nautilus from there, so at least I get the fucking error messages: $ nautilus (nautilus:18764): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed (nautilus:18764): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed Could not register the application: Timeout was reached (nautilus:18764): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (nautilus:18764): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (nautilus:18764): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed For fuck's sake please switch to some other file manager, Nautilus is pathetic.
