Rubbish Bin icon on desktop doesn't work, then suddenly starts working

[Jonathan Kamens]

Immediately after upgrading from cosmic to disco, double-clicking the "Rubbish Bin" icon on my desktop does nothing.

I try many times, does nothing.

I open a Nautilus window by clicking on the Nautilus icon in the sidebar, and select "Rubbish Bin" in that window, and I am able to view it just fine.

Then I double-click the Rubbish Bin icon on the desktop again, and a window flashes quickly and then disappears.

Then I click it again, and now it is magically working properly, i.e., double-clicking opens a Nautilus window displaying the Rubbish Bin.

A couple minutes later I try again, and it's not working again.

Etc.

Thank you for your bug report. Could you add your journalctl from the session which had the issue? If you upgraded and didn't restart your session it's possible that it's an incompatibility between the version on disk and the one active which is not really something we can resolve, it's recommend to restart after a version upgrade

Journalctl attached.

Sorry if I was unclear. I certainly rebooted immediately after upgrading to disco. The issue described here occurred after the reboot, not before.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the log has several of those
"Unexpected plugin response. This probably indicates a bug in a Nautilus extension: handle=0x55b8203bf030"

can you reproduce the issue if you uninstall the dropbox plugin (and libnautilus-cloud-extension.so ... unsure if that's part of the same one?)

[Jonathan Kamens (jik)]

Sorry, having already filed nine bugs about disco in the past 24 hours, I now need to move on with my life and do my actual job as opposed to spending more time dealing with the tire fire that disco appears to be right now.

P.S. Even if you're right that Dropbox or some other third-party extension is partially to blame for this issue, please keep in mind how many people use Dropbox and are not going to care for "It's Dropbox's fault" as an explanation when things don't work properly for them after they install or upgrade to disco.
