Ubuntu – Unable to restart Nautilus (required by Dropbox)

dropboxglibnautilus

Every time I log in Dropbox opens up the screen informing me that Nautilus needs to be restarted.

Dropbox "Nautilus Restart Requried"

Clicking the restart button does nothing though.

If I enter terminal and run nautilus -q it returns the following errors:

Initializing nautilus-dropbox 2.10.0

(nautilus:8933): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 310 was not found when attempting to remove it
(nautilus:8933): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 311 was not found when attempting to remove it
(nautilus:8933): GLib-CRITICAL **: Source ID 312 was not found when attempting to remove it`

Does anyone know how I can resolve these errors so that I can restart nautilus correctly?

Best Answer

Try

sudo nautilus -q

or install a newer Nautilus for 14.04/13.10 from here

EDIT: What I forgot, after installing Nautilus 3.12, you will have to reboot -> sudo reboot

Report back if it worked ;)
