Bug Description
Nautilus refuses to launch by any means.
When I launch it from the command line, I see the error:
localhost:~$ nautilus
GDBus.Error:
(nautilus:31396): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_
(nautilus:31396): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_
I recently upgraded from 14.04 to 16.04. Under 14.04, Nautilus worked fine.

This seems to be related to this bug https:/ /bugs.launchpad .net/ubuntu/ +source/ gthumb/ +bug/1327002
Running `ps aux|grep -i nautilus|grep -v grep` showed there was a process running called `nautilus -n`. This instance seemed to somehow be blocking additional instances from launching. After I killed this, I was able to launch Nautilus as normal via the Gnome launcher and via the command line.
