Unfortunately, after several hours/days, the issue reappears. It's as if when Tracker3 is doing some more heavy reindexing in the background, when the laptop is not in use, it hangs.
In my case the issue is definetely with Tracker3; Nautilus hanging is a side effect of not being able to communicate with Tracker (although it should handle it more gracefully, for sure!). When tracker3 hangs, checking its status with tracker3 daemon gives a timeout error after several seconds. Whenever I face the issue, I'm doing a tracker3 daemon -k to kill the daemon, followed by a tracker3 daemon -s to start it again. That works, without having to reset the index completely... until tracker3 hangs again. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1993907 Title: nautilus freezes randomly Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: nautilus becomes unresponsive and "files" is not responding sign appears at random ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 22.10 Package: nautilus 1:43.0-1ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 5.19.0-1007.7-lowlatency 5.19.7 Uname: Linux 5.19.0-1007-lowlatency x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia_modeset nvidia ApportVersion: 2.23.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CasperMD5CheckResult: pass CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Sat Oct 22 15:39:58 2022 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.icon-view' b'default-zoom-level' b"'medium'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'initial-size' b'(1272, 787)' b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'maximized' b'true' InstallationDate: Installed on 2022-05-13 (161 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 21.10 "Impish Indri" - Release amd64 (20211012) RebootRequiredPkgs: Error: path contained symlinks.
