When I press open on nautilus or terminal on Ubuntu 19.04, the loading indicator appears in the top left, but it doesn't open. I can use polo file manager to browse files and use xterm for commands and nautilus opens if i type "nautilus" in xterm.

Mainly it appears that there's a bug, not sure what it is. It uses masses of system resources which is why you can't open nautilus. I found a reinstall worked

sudo apt-get install --reinstall nautilus

I also found that installing unity worked for other services like terminal.

sudo apt install ubuntu-unity-desktop

It's a work round that works until they fix gnome

I had a nautilus.desktop files in ~/.local/share/applications which I created myself so that nautilus opens without managing the desktop (because I use i3) by supplying the --no-desktop option. This option has now been removed from the recent version of Nautilus, I had to remove it in the desktop file:

[Desktop Entry]
NotShowIn=GNOME
Name=Files
Comment=Access and organize files
Exec=nautilus --new-window
Terminal=false
Type=Application

I had the same problem, and couldn't play any sound as well.

By running snap list I noticed that there where two versions of gnome installed. So I just remove the older one by running snap remove gnome-<older version>

If files and sound system is also not working probably that's because you installed chrome-remote-desktop.
Remove it by the following command,it helped for me. And don't forget to restart. sudo apt-get remove chrome-remote-desktop
