"Time out by message bus" whenever viewing file/folder properties in Nautilus

[Jay S]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Whenever I view the properties of a file or directory in Nautilus -- whether by right-clicking an icon and clicking "Properties" or by clicking "Properties" in the "File" menu -- I receive a dialog box that reads:

Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)

The properties window appears behind this dialog box, and I'm able to use it, but that message just never fails to show up.

seems you're using tracker and that its causing the issue, reassigning.

I can confirm exactly the same behavior.
