Hello Brandon,
can you try to open nautilus from a terminal, please? This might give us
some extra error messages.
And please check if the command "net" from the package "samba-common-
bin" is installed on you machine:
Dec 6 21:15:28 BrandonsLaptop org.gnome.Nautilus[1601]: Nautilus-Share-
Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: Failed to execute
child process "net" (No such file or directory)
This does not seem to be a dependency (and I found several PCs with
working nautilus and without "samba-common-bin" installed). However
installing this could help us to find the cause for your problem though.
Best Regards
Vej

Title:
Nautilus fails to launch occasionally
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Every once in a while, Nautilus will fail to launch. Clicking it's
icon in the Unity launcher will either open up a black window,
outlined only by its shadow, or it just flashes in the launcher and
nothing happens.
Sometimes when this happens, it can be fixed by killing Nautilus
entirely and re-opening it again. This time when it happened, it
looks like it had something to do with media information with unity-
music-daemon, however this machine doesn't have anything setup in
either Banshee or Rythmbox yet. Here's a video capture of it
happening: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gJdzED7z9nQ
The system log seen in the video, from when it crashed, to when I
relaunched Nautilus after killing it, is pasted below. I asked on the
Ubuntu forums about this and a few others said they are having the
same issue, but since I found no bug related to this directly on
launchpad, I decided to open one myself.
