I did get the default.rule error (starting from terminal) when I had installed both the nautilus_3.30.0-0ubuntu1~cosmic1 and the tracker_2.1.3-1~cosmic1 packeges. As I mentioned, at that time nautilus did not start, the small wheel on the screen just kept on turning.
Then, after downgrading tracker_2.1.3-1~cosmic1 back to the official tracker_2.0.3-3, I did get nautilus_3.30.0-0ubuntu1~cosmic1 running. However, the thumbnailer did not work then. Sorry, I am not familiar with the backtrace system. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1791991 Title: Nautilus in Gnome3 Staging PPA will not start To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1791991/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
