Ever since the new kernel update to fix intel's cpu Spectre, Meltdown vulnerability Nautilus and nemo wont display directories in the Home drive. I can't even do a ls from the terminal it just sits there.

55@ftg:~$ uname -a
Linux sys76 4.13.0-26-generic #29~16.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jan 9 22:00:44 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


55@ftg:~$  lsb_release -a

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS
Release:    16.04
Codename:   xenial

GNOME nautilus 3.14.3
nemo 2.8.6

I even turned off several options in Nautilus ...see image below And several programs take about 30 seconds to open instead of 2 seconds like shutter, gedit etcc..

    Hello, how did you manage to upgrade Kernel / Ubuntu ? from your screenshot I can see that you're on 16.04.2 which goes with 4.8 kernel version... HWE for Ubuntu 16.04.4 goes with the 4.13 kernel version... Did you do any partial upgrades?

    wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/RollingLTSEnablementStack as you can see the Release of 4.13 kernel for Ubuntu 16.04 is scheduled to be released in February.

  • @JoKeR Your guess is as good as mine... I know there where some issues with the updates I didn't think this was one of them...how can I fix this? but they did have some bugs bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1742323 And zdnet.com/article/…

    Probably Ubuntu team will implement this fix to the 4.10 kernel too but as of now I can say you're running on experimental features because kernel version 4.13 has not been released yet for your distro.
