Same problem here, when in the shell executing: nautilus -q && nautilus --no-desktop
nautilus will spawn indefinitely. This can be stopped with executing 'nautilus -q'. The previous command is important, as it is used to debug extensions for nautilus, the command will allow to capture the output of nautilus, assuming it works as expected. To work around this problem, edit '/usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop', change X-GNOME-AutoRestart to false and add the line 'AutostartCondition=GNOME /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop'. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/741978 Title: Running nautilus from terminal causes gnome-session to start too many nautilus processes -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
