Hello Brandon, can you try to open nautilus from a terminal, please? This might give us some extra error messages.
And please check if the command "net" from the package "samba-common- bin" is installed on you machine: Dec 6 21:15:28 BrandonsLaptop org.gnome.Nautilus[1601]: Nautilus-Share- Message: Called "net usershare info" but it failed: Failed to execute child process "net" (No such file or directory) This does not seem to be a dependency (and I found several PCs with working nautilus and without "samba-common-bin" installed). However installing this could help us to find the cause for your problem though.
