As much as I’m sure there will be a fix pushed out soon, here are the instructions on how to re-install nautilus:
- Open up your terminal of choose
- Download the deb files as follows:
- Now install both files using the following commands:
- dpkg -i gnome-desktop3-data_3.34.1-1_all.deb
- dpkg -i libgnome-desktop-3-18_3.34.1-1_amd64.deb
- Now install nautilus using the following command:
- apt install nautilus
