Ubuntu 14.04 with current updates. This is what I get when I type this command "sudo nautilus"

(nautilus:3803): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files

thank you

    The messages are not unusual, but.... *NEVER* run GUI applications with sudo. Use gksu nautilus (preferably) or sudo -H nautilus. See the excellent answer here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/270006/why-user-should-never-use-normal-sudo-to-start-graphical-application – Jacob Vlijm Feb 22 '16 at 16:58
  • Excellent explanation of WHY. Now I understand. So i gather since I did not write and files using sudo and nautilus I most likely didn't screw anything up. – Chris Feb 23 '16 at 02:51
  • @JacobVlijm But am getting same warning and i am not running nautilus as root or sudo user. –  Sep 11 '17 at 20:25
