what problem??

this answer cortopy in ask.fedoraproject.org, worked me.

i've been experiencing similar problem today, couldn't open nautilus @ all. i'm wondering if due recent update clash.

this isn't solution, @ least allows me carry on normal.

first thing try sudo nautilus in terminal. if works, may mean there wrong active nautilus processess current user.

to able restart nautilus properly, following:

1. see nautilus processes running :

   ps aux | grep nautilus

2. kill nautilus processes see :
   

   sudo kill pidnumber

3. restart nautilus :

   nautilus -q
