Ubuntu – Nautilus crashing during seach

nautilus

I am using Ubuntu 18.04 with Gnome on Wayland. When I open Nautilus and click on the search icon and then start to enter the search criteria, Nautilus simply crashes and disappears from the desktop after the first few letters are input. I have re-booted but the problem persists.

This question is not about the search method that Nautilus uses but about it actually crashing during a search.

Nautilus crashing during a search is a known issue. As of now, the bug is being fixed. The issue is marked as fixed, and is rolling out in nautilus - 1:3.26.4-0ubuntu5 for the upcoming cosmic release. A fix for for the LTS release 18.04 also appears to be on its way.

Ubuntu – How to remove the “Undo” popup when deleting a file in Nautilus

I "removed" it doing this way:

Go to ~/.themes/THEME-IN-USE/gtk-3.0

Open gtk.css and add this at the end:

.app-notification { padding: 0; margin: -80px 0 0 0; opacity: 0;}

and save.

Refresh theme in GNOME Tweaks (change to another one, and again change to your theme in use).

Now you can't see the popup.

Tested on Nautilus 3.26.4, GNOME 3.30.1.
