I can reproduce it with a program which calls
`gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new`
$ $ cat g.c
#include <gtk/gtk.h>
void open_file(const char *filename) {
g_print("Opening file: %s\n", filename);
}
static void on_button_clicked(GtkWidget *widget, gpointer user_data) {
GtkWidget *dialog;
GtkFileChooserAction action = GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN;
gint res;
GtkWindow *parent_window = GTK_WINDOW(user_data);
dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new("Open File", parent_window, action,
"Cancel", GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, "Open",
GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT, NULL);
res = gtk_dialog_run(GTK_DIALOG(dialog));
if (res == GTK_RESPONSE_ACCEPT) {
char *filename;
GtkFileChooser *chooser = GTK_FILE_CHOOSER(dialog);
filename = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename(chooser);
open_file(filename);
g_free(filename);
}
gtk_widget_destroy(dialog);
}
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
GtkWidget *window;
GtkWidget *button;
gtk_init(&argc, &argv);
window = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
gtk_window_set_title(GTK_WINDOW(window), "GTK File Chooser Example");
gtk_window_set_default_size(GTK_WINDOW(window), 400, 200);
g_signal_connect(window, "destroy", G_CALLBACK(gtk_main_quit), NULL);
button = gtk_button_new_with_label("Open File...");
g_signal_connect(button, "clicked", G_CALLBACK(on_button_clicked), window);
gtk_container_add(GTK_CONTAINER(window), button);
gtk_widget_show_all(window);
gtk_main();
return 0;
}
$ cc g.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs gtk+-3.0`
$ ./a.out

Title:
File open dialog takes several minutes to appear
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
It takes several minutes (typically 2–3 minutes) for the file open
dialog to appear in any application. This delay started immediately
after upgrading to Ubuntu 25.04, and affects all programs that use the
standard GTK file chooser.
For example, even running Nautilus on an empty directory triggers the issue:
$ mkdir empty
$ nautilus empty
Failed to register: Timeout was reached
This behavior is consistent and highly disruptive, making everyday
tasks like opening or saving files extremely frustrating.
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 25.04
Release: 25.04
