Some file is right-clicked and Properties is selected, after which Nautilus hangs immediately. It can be killed with "killall -9 nautilus" command, after which one must wait for short time before Nautilus can be started again. If it is started too soon, it will not start, it just prints text: "Failed to register: Timeout was reached" ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.26.4-0~ubuntu18.04.4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.15.0-66.75-generic 4.15.18 Uname: Linux 4.15.0-66-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.9-0ubuntu7.9 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: LXDE Date: Tue Nov 12 15:58:19 2019 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.preferences' b'default-folder-viewer' b"'list-view'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'958x757+2151+138'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-zoom-level' b"'small'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'use-tree-view' b'true' b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'mime_type', 'where', 'date_modified', 'date_modified_with_time', 'date_accessed', 'recency', 'RabbitVCS::age_column', 'RabbitVCS::author_column', 'RabbitVCS::revision_column', 'RabbitVCS::status_column']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-10-25 (383 days ago) InstallationMedia: Lubuntu 18.04.1 LTS "Bionic Beaver" - Release amd64 (20180725) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_nautilus: To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1852265/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
