I too have this issue. I just upgraded from 18.04 LTS to 19.10 and Nautilus starts fine, finishes the check, but I cannot initiate any file commands like copy, move or delete. Nautilus doesn't respond and GNOME serves the pop-up to kill Nautilus. Pressing the 'waiting' option repeatedly doesn't solve it.
Running it from the commandline, I see some widget errors when trying to execute a command: $ nautilus G (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:52.377: gtk_widget_get_mapped: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:52.377: gdk_window_is_visible: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:52.377: gdk_window_show_internal: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:52.377: gtk_widget_set_opacity: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:52.377: gtk_widget_queue_draw: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:54.380: gtk_widget_get_mapped: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gdk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:54.380: gdk_window_is_visible: assertion 'GDK_IS_WINDOW (window)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:54.380: gtk_widget_set_opacity: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed (org.gnome.Nautilus:23240): Gtk-CRITICAL **: 21:55:54.380: gtk_widget_queue_draw: assertion 'GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed It seems this bug has been reported upstream too, but is ignored as the version is too old https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/1218 I cannot find an easy answer in the logs that points to a specific problem. I can successfully do the file operations from the command line using mv, cp and rm, so it is no permission issue. I'm now in the process of installing Nautilus from Flathub gnome- nightly, hopefully that will give me back a working system. Because even though I did a nice upgrade using `sudo do-release-upgrade` it feels like I have a broken system now. Is there a way I can get more debugging from Nautilus? ** Bug watch added: gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues #1218 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues/1218 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1850001 Title: nautilus hangs on file delete To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1850001/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
