One member had given an explanation and suggested temporary workaround. "When a desktop launcher uses ‘DBusActivatable=true’, it will skip exec line and send a signal to to dbus to launch an application. On Unity for some reason dbus-activation is failing and causing time out."
1. sudo apt-get install gksu 2. gksudo gedit /usr/share/applications/org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop And then comment out DBusActivatable=true like this #DBusActivatable=true 3. save and exit. Kill nautilus. nautilus -q 4. Now it will work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1728232 Title: Nautilus misbehaviour under "unity-session" in Ubuntu 17.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1728232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
