If I try to open Files nothing happens except a spinny icon and my computer fans running fast.

If I run xdg-open . then I get Failed to register: Timeout was reached

I've attempted to google but couldn't figure it out. No logs were written to dmesg or /var/log/syslog

Ubuntu 18.04

Edit: Running sudo xdg-open . works but is not ideal as I'd be editing the files as root.

    Run nautilus in the terminal. This will show eventual error messages in the console that may give a hint about the problem. – vanadium Sep 12 '18 at 16:45
  • @vanadium thanks for the reply. Killing nautilus fixed the problem. I didn't even know that was what it was called! Thank you very much! – aco Sep 13 '18 at 01:02
