When trying to open nautilus (from the Launcher or from the Dash pressing on Files), it does not open, and the desktop aren't responding.

The output of nautilus -q (without sudo):

(nautilus:12039): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed
(nautilus:12039): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed
Could not register the application: Timeout was reached
(nautilus:12039): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed
(nautilus:12039): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance
(nautilus:12039): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

If i use gksu nautilus it opens but with an error:

(nautilus:18320): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

Currently fixing this issue by restart my PC or by restart nautilus:

sudo killall nautilus && (nautilus &)

But is just a temporary fix.

This bug has been reported here: Bug report on Nautilus in 16.04.

    Why do you use `sudo` for Nautilus? – David Foerster Nov 01 '16 at 09:27
  • You right. i changed it – Benny Nov 01 '16 at 09:30
  • Since you removed `sudo` from your post now, do you get the same results with `nautilus -q` (without `sudo`)? (Contact me in chat if you think this is going to lead to extended discussion unsuitable for the comment section.) – David Foerster Nov 01 '16 at 09:34

    If you always used `sudo`, that would explain the problem of its not launching. Please [edit] your question and clarify whether this only happens when using `sudo`. Also explain how you try to open nautilus and when you are doing it. Is it after rebooting or after waking up from suspend? – terdon Nov 01 '16 at 09:51
  • i am not using `sudo` to open `nautilus`. i am not suspend my PC, after rebooting `nautilus` always working properly, it happens once or several times a day. – Benny Nov 03 '16 at 09:36
  • be advanced, use nemo. anutilus is awork in progress and alpha software in my opinion. Your choice to use or not to use it as a filemanager. – mondjunge Nov 03 '16 at 10:02
