And just a little bit more information: It seems the same issue was mentioned a week ago at this StackExchange post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/783899/debian-testing-gnome-47-nautilus-doesnt-start-anymore-why
And there's even a YouTube video that points to that same post for the solution ---the solution being installing nautilus from stable. One thing I noticed, is that some applications requiring a FileChooser of some sort, cannot do so. I noticed it fist in the browser (Vivaldi), but even when launching gnome-control-center from the terminal and trying to select a file to change my user avatar, I get: $ gnome-control-center 13:21:17.6387 cc-system-panel[195017]: WARNING: Failed to pick avatar image: Dismissed by user That is, the FileChooser doesn't show up, but the control center assumes the user pressed the Cancel button. -- John M.
