I did get the default.rule error (starting from terminal) when I had installed both the nautilus_3.30.0-0ubuntu1~cosmic1 and the tracker_2.1.3-1~cosmic1 packeges. As I mentioned, at that time nautilus did not start, the small wheel on the screen just kept on turning.
Then, after downgrading tracker_2.1.3-1~cosmic1 back to the official tracker_2.0.3-3, I did get nautilus_3.30.0-0ubuntu1~cosmic1 running. However, the thumbnailer did not work then. Sorry, I am not familiar with the backtrace system. -- 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/1791991 Title: Nautilus in Gnome3 Staging PPA will not start Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Nautilus version 3.30.0-0ubuntu1~cosmic1 in Gnome3 Staging PPA will not start.
