The command nautilus does't show any window and does't return. There is no error message.

I tried apt purge nautilus && apt install nautilus and reboot without any success.

I am using Debian GNU/Linux 10 (buster) and Gnome 3.30.2.

My more general question is how to track this kind of issue? Is there any log file where gnome prints warnings and errors?

Actually nautilus took around 30min to finally open...

I think I found the issue.

The program tracker was using a lot of CPU and RAM. Not only nautilus was very long to open, but all my computer was very slow (to open firefox, gedit..., enter some text, switch windows...). I remembered that I recently downloaded around 10G of data contained in several millions of txt files.

I removed these files and everything runs fine now!
