Public bug reported: I'm on Ubuntu 16.04, stable install. I'm trying to open USB flash drives and they are at first showing up as before on the Unitylauncher and a Nautilus window open automatically with the drives content. If I unmount the drive (eject it) and tries to mount another drive (or the same) the flash drive for the most part starting with an open Nautilus window again. If I unmount and tries to mount another drive again and again then after a while it failes and no Nautilus window is showing. It can work a few times but not for a particularly long time. The drive is mounted though but Nautilus failes to open it. And Nautilus on the launcher is not working either, if I click on 'Files', thus Nautilus in Unitylauncher, it is of course also failing. Open a terminal and running the command 'nautilus' gives this output:
"(nautilus:9292): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed (nautilus:9292): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed Kunde inte registrera programmet: Tidsgränsen uppnåddes (nautilus:9292): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed (nautilus:9292): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance (nautilus:9292): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed" NOTE: "Kunde inte registrera programmet: Tidsgränsen uppnåddes" above means: "Could not register the application: Timeout was reached". If I kill Nautilus, and relaunch it then Nautilus is appearing again and it works for a while. It's thus for now difficult to work with flashdrives, after some time I must kill Nautilus and that is inconvenient. I can say that it can work for a longer time if I unmount the drives from within Nautilus not from the device-icon in the Unitylauncher, but through my testing I see that evidently it failes even then after a while. So, if someone could help.
