Nautlus doesn't launch(Gnome)

Sebastian

As of the gsk render issue, you might try to run
sudo nano etc/environment and put GSK_RENDERER=gl in this file, save and reboot.

pomon

To return to Nautilus, reverse the commands applied to Nemo.
Install/uninstall Nautilus/Nemo.
Remove the nemo.desktop file from ~/config/autostart.

Suggestions:

Check that Nautilus does not open under Wayland and x11.
Try disabling tracker3 daemon -t and start Nautilus.
Check the logs associated with Nautilus or tracker3 (read about journalctl).
Finally, you can undo the update. Search the forum e.g. like this

Sebastian I always log in X11, Wayland has too many issues for me. For instance, I had to login Wayland because I can only use a second monitor on Wayland and I wanted to watch a movie with my GF yesterday, so I had to connect to a HDMI cable.

Today, I tried to open the Settings app, and it wasn't opening, I couldn't change my desktop settings because the option didn't appear. I logged off then in using X11 and it went back to normal.

BUT again, I tried to download some files from my email and the download dialogue doesn't open anymore.

This is getting really annoying.

How can I uncheck this post as solved? It's not solved yet.

Every time I reboot my system I have to use the terminal, prompt

xdg-mime default org.nemo.desktop inode/directory

Logoff and login again and I just realized some apps are also freezing when I try to save my work(even when doing the procedure above). One example is Kdenlive. The terminal doesn't dump any errors.

I don't know how to proceed.

EbonJaeger

WetGeek the point of running it from the terminal is to see what error messages it spits out when it doesn't work.

lf-araujo henriiquecampos I wonder if this would be resolved by adding this patch. It looks like there were a bunch of reports about Nautilus not opening via the portal, which are remarkably similar to the issues you both are reporting.

pomon

So maybe let's start with the basics. Do:

sudo eopkg rebuild-db
sudo eopkg up
sudo eopkg check | grep Broken | awk '{print $4}' | xargs sudo eopkg it --reinstall 
sudo usysconf run -f

Sebastian

I would also advise to check the filesystem.
Boot in a live session from USB, then run sudo fdisk -l to determine the partition of your system, probably /dev/sda2
and then run sudo fsck /dev/sda2 or whatever your partition is. In case your filesystem is ext2/ext4. For other filesystems you may have to run a different command.

In past I had encountered the weirdest issues that got resolved by file system check/repair.

lf-araujo

Interestingly I am also affected by this issue, but given nobody else, apart from Henrique commented here, it should only affect a small portion of users.

Nautilus does not launch, installing nemo partially fixes the issue, as trying to download stuff off the internet sometimes does not work. Such a noisy/weird combination of behaviors. Not even sure how to narrow it down.

This is what I get by trying to run from terminal:

WetGeek

Do you havee a compelling reason to run your file manager from the terminal, instead of from the main menu?

Being a Plasma user, I use Dolphin, not Nautilus, but I've never had a reason to launch it from the termial. Is Nautilus in your main menu? If so, what happens if you launch it from there?

lf-araujo

WetGeek Oh that was just to check if any relevant warnings would come up. I wouldn't normally do that.

Sebastian

The reason to run file manager in terminal is to see the error messages in this case !

WetGeek

lf-araujo Oh that was just to check if any relevant warnings

Yeah, I should have thought of that myself. I've used that debugging method before, but this morning my mind was on other things, and I simply tried to offer some help.

I hope things have worked out well for you. Did you get any real help with this?

Staudey

WetGeek I hope things have worked out well for you. Did you get any real help with this?

Well, as EbonJaeger mentioned the team are investigating a patch that might fix the issue, and it has already been applied to the package in the Unstable repository: https://github.com/getsolus/packages/commit/ef6d92ac8a992ee9fab3854ad6ac35837295ff95

But since nobody in the Packaging channel could reproduce the issue in the first place it's unclear whether the patch actually fixes it or not.

henriiquecampos

Staudey it seems that with the latest update everything is working again!

I can save, download and upload, and load files using all the programs I tested so far.

Seems like the team managed to pinpoint the issue and solve it, at least on my end.

Hope it solved for @lf-araujo as well!

TraceyC

Just confirming that the fix, which is in nautilus 47.0-89 has been merged to Shannon / stable
The version can be seen in that commit Staudey linked
You can see the Nautilus package on our CDN

Anyone can see if this version is installed on their system with

eopkg info nautilus
