I'm running 15.04 and have found Nautilus to take about 10 minutes to launch following updates from about two weeks ago. When I look at top it appears that Compiz and Xorg are doing a lot while it is launching. Previously it would take just an instant to open.

When I observe this behaviour, I observe it for all of Nautilus, everything from desktop rendering to launching of the file browser.

Does anyone know why this is happening and what to do about it?

  • Well, with the most recent update the delay has gone away. I can't show you! This may remain a mystery.

  • Ok, the delay is back. Run from the terminal, Nautilus produces messages like GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed, Could not register the application: Timeout was reached and GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed. Then the launch halts. However, somehow it eventually manages to launch. Would you happen to know what's going on?

  • I had a similar problem. It was caused by me putting my home dir under mercurial and having the tortoisehg extension installed, resulting in stat'ing my entire home dir. bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1522177
