gtk_icon_theme_get_for_screen error for nautilus

Recently i have updated the ubuntu 14.04 to Ubuntu 15.04. Usually nautilus . command should open the directory in GUI.However, now i am getting the error like below.

What is the recent for that and any solution to solve it

Solution

  • I have the same issue as you, so I tried to run it as root

    sudo nautilus .

    But there were still warnings, so I found solution here.

    So finally I ran 

    sudo killall nautilus
sudo apt-get purge nautilus
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nautilus

    Or one line solution 

    sudo killall nautilus && sudo apt-get purge nautilus && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install nautilus
