What I expect to happen is this (comments are within "[]"): ~$ cd Documents ~/Documents$ nautilus . [Here, a nautilus window opens show contents of ~/Documents.] ~/Documents$ But what happens is this: ~$ cd Documents ~/Documents$ nautilus . Initializing nautilus-gdu extension [Here, I don't get the prompt back.
