This problem happened already some times to me. It is fixed with a reboot, but I am wondering if there is a faster solution.

Windows in File Manager look like this:

My nautilus doesn't used to respond So for restarting I used nautilus -q or killall nautilus

How to restart nautilus without logging out?

But both the commands didn't worked for me

So I killed the process manually and it worked for me without restarting my system

ps -ef | grep nautilus

kill -9 ID

you can try both to see if it helps whenever you are facing the issue again

  • That doesn't work. I recognized that also the menus in all unity windows (also application windows) are without the text. Perhaps it is another thing to restart? – janlo Apr 07 '17 at 11:17
  • I thought its nautilus only (Incase you haven't found this) See this link looks like its a bug

    https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1573959

    Also temporary workaround was also there in the comment

    Switching between terminal

    ALT+CTRL+F1 then ALT+CTRL+F7

  • Thanks, that bug seems to clearly describe my problem. I tried the kernel update. Let's see. In the meanwhile I rebooted and the error is not easily reproducible for me. Let's see. – janlo Apr 07 '17 at 12:49
