You have been subscribed to a public bug: It takes several minutes (typically 2–3 minutes) for the file open dialog to appear in any application. This delay started immediately after upgrading to Ubuntu 25.04, and affects all programs that use the standard GTK file chooser.
For example, even running Nautilus on an empty directory triggers the issue: $ mkdir empty $ nautilus empty Failed to register: Timeout was reached This behavior is consistent and highly disruptive, making everyday tasks like opening or saving files extremely frustrating. $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 25.04 Release: 25.04 ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- File open dialog takes several minutes to appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2109677 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. -- 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
