16.04: some programs including Nautilus hang for 20 seconds before opening
I have a quite powerful Dell laptop with Ubuntu 16.04 installed.
Some times (I'd say, every 2 or 3 sessions) I have my entire session affected by a problem with some applications hanging or not starting at all. This is usually solved by rebooting (which isn't ideal).
The most common way I realise that the current session is affected, is by trying to open a nautilus window (by clicking on the "Files" dock icon). The window will open, but only after ~20 seconds. Also if I try to launch a File dialog from within other programs (when doing File > Open or Mail > Attach), the file picker will appear after 20 second, freezing the parent program in the meantime.
Another thing that happens is that if I launch gnome-screenshot, it doesn't hang but after I click Take Screenshot it takes ~20 seconds before actually taking it. In the meantime, I can't launch other instances of gnome-screenshot.
At least one program (blender) won't launch at all:
$> ./blender --debug-all
Switching to fully guarded memory allocator.
then nothing for minutes.
The majority of other programs I use are unaffected by this.
Additional info:
- I have a NVIDIA gpu, but this happens regardless of it being active or disabled through
nvidia-prime
- The problem doesn't happen at every boot, but once I notice it, it is reproduced 100% of the time within that session
- The laptop hasn't been suspended
