“Files” File manager (Nautilus) is not working on an Ubuntu system. Files either stops working, or won’t load at all.
try:
- reinstalling nautilus-data using below command
sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus-data ## this one worked in 22.04
- terminating the running nautilus process
ps awx | grep nautilus
sudo kill (process ID)
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Nautilus
sudo apt-get remove nautilus
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get clean
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install nautilus
