Problem with File Manager

**hakermania** · February 13th, 2010

Some times the File Browser is not responding and I do him force quit. Although if I do this cannot open any directory and my Desktop looks like empty. Although I can start any processes.So, I would like to know if there is any terminal-command in order to start again the File Manager.

Thx, running in Ubuntu 9.10

hakermania,

Do you mean: In Terminal type "gksu nautilus" Enter, then key in your password when prompted and your file browser will come up.

HTH

Thx for the answer but unfortunately it shows the following message:
** (nautilus:6575): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'UploadFinished'

** (nautilus:6575): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'DownloadFinished'

** (nautilus:6575): WARNING **: No marshaller for signature of signal 'ShareCreateError'
ERROR: Could not load classifier cascade /usr/share/opencv/haarcascades/haarcascade_frontalface_alt2.xml
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension

and then a new window of the File Browser pop-ups in /root directory buts it turns grey in a few seconds, which means that the program is not responding. Additionally, I still cannot see my desktop and I cannot open any other File Browser window and browse my files.Any other ideas?

I am having the same problem. I was trying to follow a thread on how to configure my samba correctly, and upon doing:

sudo apt-get install winbind

it froze when it was trying to start winbind.

I cannot use synaptic, because its telling me that some other process is using it (It was the "apt-get" from winbind in terminal. synaptic suggested I try the following:

sudo dpkg --configure -a

After some time I restarted the system. Samba and winbind were not allowing boot to happen. So I used a live cd and removed samba and winbind from /etc/init.d and now that I am able to log in again, There are no icons on my desktop, I cannot open or mount any drives without them freezing and crashing. Whenever I try to restart, it says that "file manager is not responding"

Oh and I have no internet connection for some reason so I cannot use synaptic to re-install nautilus or anything else that requires an internet connection. I had an internet connection before all of this happened, and I am typing this from within the same network, same internet connection, so my internet is fine.

Anyone know what could be causing this, and how I can fix this ?
