So after I installed 16.04 Ubuntu update, I tried to open my home folder, but it didn't work. I tried running nautilus in terminal and it thrown this:

user@user-desktop:~$ nautilus

(nautilus:13623): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **:
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed

(nautilus:13623): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **:
g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed
Neizdevās reģistrēt lietotni: Iestājās noildze

(nautilus:13623): Gtk-CRITICAL **: gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen: assertion 'GDK_IS_SCREEN (screen)' failed

(nautilus:13623): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: invalid (NULL) pointer instance

(nautilus:13623): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: g_signal_connect_object: assertion 'G_TYPE_CHECK_INSTANCE (instance)' failed

The Neizdevās reģistrēt lietotni: Iestājās noildze means Failed to register application: delay. I have no idea what's going on, but what I care more is how to solve this.

By the way, the nautilus opens fine when I run it through gksudo(gksudo nautilus).

I had the same symptoms as above.

Nautilus would not open as my own user. Nautilus would open fine using gksudo nautilus.

I opened a terminal to run as my own user, and got very similar error messages as above.

This link solved the problem for me:

Nautilus not opening up, showing GLib error

Here is the gist of the problem:

  • Some nautilus processes were still running that need to be killed.

The linked solution describes how to find the process ID's and kill them.

After that, I am fine - no need to reboot or anything.
