There was a similar issue discussed on the GNOME channel today pointed to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/485 , could you try if that command unblocks things for you? $ killall gvfsd-trash
** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues #485 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/-/issues/485 -- 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/1903283 Title: Nautilus does not start and if it does takes crazy long time to do so Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When starting nautilus (either via clocking the button or using the terminal) after startup, nautilus does not start at all. Starting it via the terminal results in a Timeout error. I can though see the process in the system monitor. If I terminate the process via "End process" and then start nautilus again, the nautilus window appears after around 20 seconds. I then get the same behavior if I want to save a file from within an application. E.g. if I click "save file to" within inkscape, it will take around 20s until the file manager window open. I purged nautilus and reinstalled it already, but it did not help. I also followed a stackoverflow answer, saying that you have to sudo apt-get purge xdg-desktop-portal-gtk Right after I did that, nautilus was starting immediately. But after a reboot the effect was gone and I was back with the old problem. Suuuuper annoying.
