Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Oliver Smith (oliversmith)]

This happened for me after an update from Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.

I fixed it by:

* Purging nautilus with apt-get
* Removing ~/.config/nautilus

I suspect the last step may fix it alone but I've not been able to recreate the initial issue to verify.

random update fixed, whatever it fixed, i'm no longer affected by this bug

[Rat (nicollier)]

I had the issue after upgrade from 16.04 even after all updates.
I only did the following to solve it:

* Removing ~/.config/nautilus

Same issue here, upgraded from 16.04 to 16.10, the desktop was blank, and Nautilus wouldn't launch.

Solved by $ sudo rm -rf ~/.config/nautilus $

[Springnuts (simon-springnuts-orangehome)]

Removing the directory .config/nautilus worked for me too. The directory is then re-created immediately nautilus is started.

Same here: I solved the issue #4 described, by following instructions in #5.
Thanks to you all.

[Mark Rich (sir-marky)]

Using the command in step 5 resolved it for me too.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

I am still having problems.

I tried removing, purging & reinstalling Nautilus; no joy.

Then I found this bug and tried:

 * Removing ~/.config/nautilus

This worked. I have desktop icons again and a file manager. However, Nautilus has just one menu, titled "Files", and it contains no entries. A small narrow blank rectangle appears, nothing else.

Ah, apparently a known problem for years:

[baul (inevity)]

I remove ~/.config/nautilus ,did not function.
Then rm -rf /usr/lib/nautilus/ ;sudo apt-get install nautilus --reinstall
now can open nautilus.

Is that still an issue in newer versions?
