Bingo! After "nautilus -q" it appeared some message about some python-extension. I've found out the issue was related to an old "nautilus-terminal" python extension. Since the extension wasn't installed with apt or pip, i ran the following commands:
sudo rm -r /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/nautilus_terminal* sudo rm -r /usr/local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/ (note that under "usr/local/share/nautilus-python/extensions/" there was only a nautilus-terminal file) The issue then ceased to exist. After that, I could go to dconf-edit and go to: "org > flozz > nautilus-terminal" and "erase the key" since no schema was available. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1849987 Title: empty space when on list view and when back to icon view To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1849987/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
