Public bug reported: Hello, I have been having this problem for at least six months. I often use the 'connect to server' > 'sftp://some...@something.com' in nautilus to transfer files to and from remote servers. It works great. The problem comes from suspending / resuming near the time of doing these actions. (I am about 90% sure)
If the error occurrs, after resuming, nautilus will freeze, and I can end it, and then it will not re launch again. In terminal , the error it gives when trying to launch is. "Could not register the application: Timeout was reached" Launching a nautilus instance with sudo works as expected. I have determined that the error comes from the sftp daemon because I have found, through trial and error, that ending a specific SSH process will unfreeze / allow relaunching of nautilus almost instantly after it is killed. $ ps -aef | grep ssh >> paul 5731 20771 0 09:47 pts/26 00:00:00 /usr/bin/ssh -oForwardX11 no -oForwardAgent no -oPermitLocalCommand no -oClearAllForwardings yes -oProtocol 2 -oNoHostAuthenticationForLocalhost yes -l ubuntu -s <URL CUT> sftp this is an example of that the process looks like that is causing the hang. This error occurs even if I make sure to close nautilus before putting the computer to sleep.
