Cannot launch terminal or nautilus in 18.04


Cannot open terminal on Ubuntu 18.04Terminal won't launch after upgradingHow can I get the Nautilus file manger to open?After 17.10 upgrade, can't use Nautilus and many applicationsCannot open Gnome-Terminal Ubuntu 17.10How do I remove a Favorite in Nautilus?Cannot Switch Terminal Ubuntu 18.04Nautilus fails to see shares in 18.04How to launch my own compiled app in Ubuntu 18.04Terminal and Nautilus stopped working after a crash













3















After upgrading to 18.04, I cannot launch terminal or nautilus from the favorites side bar. Xterm, however, is fine, and from there I can execute at least nautilus. Running gnome-terminal in the xterm window do nothing, except the warning "AT-SPI: Could not obtain desktop path or name"



Ctrl + Alt + T won't start the terminal, either. Nothing happens.



PS: I went from Ubuntu 16 through Ubuntu 17.10 without really using 17, perhaps I had the problems there, too.

I can answer my own question. It seems that the problem had something to do with old configuration files. I cleaned out a lot of stuff in the "dot" directories, as per hints elsewhere, and now it works as intended.
