Ubuntu – After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04, Shortcut Keys don’t work

18.04gnomegnome-terminalnautilusupgrade

April 28, 2018 I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.04 and everything worked fine. Now, I don't know why I can't get into Nautilus. When I click the Files icon in the dock it starts to load but nothing launches.

I also can't get into the terminal (neither with Ctrl+Alt+T nor with the terminal icon). I don't know if the two problems are related, but they started to happen at the same time.

Edit 1: Rolled up from answer that should be in question, the Nautilus problem was (partially) solved:

I managed to open nautilus from Konsole and now it seems to work fine
(I can open it through the dock). However, when I close the Konsole,
it fails again.

About the "Shortcut Keys don't work" part.. I had a simmilar issue after upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 : - Ctrl+Alt+T didn't work - lock screen ( Ctrl+Alt+L ) didn't work - media keys didn't work

Here is what worked for me:

  • I installed "compizconfig-settings-manager"
  • I opened "General" -> "Commands" and activated the check box on the left "activate commands" and then clicked "Back"

At this point the shortcuts started to work again.

Hope this helps somebody.
