[Bug 1412631] [NEW] Nautilus fails to start

 

Public bug reported:

After a recent update, nautilus randomly refuses to start. Clicking on
the 'home' button in the unity bar results in blinking for a while, then
nothing. Trying to launch from a terminal does not give any information
(it just hangs).

By the way, I noticed that when this happens I am unable to close my
session to avoid a complete reboot. (which is the only way I can get
around this bug for the moment)

It may happen that after a while (2/3 min) the issue resolves itslef.

Ubuntu: 14.04.1 LTS
nautilus: 1:3.10.1-0ubuntu9.4

I understand these are very few information, so please someone let me
know how to collect more info when this happens.

** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

** Package changed: gedit (Ubuntu) => nautilus (Ubuntu)
