Nautilus doesn't load on Gnome startup, or from terminal

[Reuben Firmin]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Nautilus won't load on system startup, or from the terminal. I tried the patched version from https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/454234, and while that made the eel_preferences message disappear, it didn't resolve the issue.

Interestingly, there were several nautilus processes in an uninterruptible state. I rebooted the computer, and now my desktop / nautilus is back.

Thanks, please see my second comment. This was reproducible until I rebooted the computer. So this must be an intermittent issue.

Thanks for the report, it has been some time without any response or feedback in this bug report and we are wondering if this is still an issue for you with the latest release of Ubuntu the Natty Narwhal, May you please test with that version and comment back if you're still having or not the issue? Please have a look at http://www.ubuntu.com/download to know how to install that version.Thanks in advance.
