I am using Debian 10 with Xfce 4.12 and the Nautilus version installed is Files 3.30.5-stable.
When I try to start it up in a terminal (to see what is going on, I get this error:
** (nautilus:6115): WARNING **: 12:16:47.932: Error on getting connection: Failed to load SPARQL backend: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.TimedOut: Failed to activate service ‘org.freedesktop.Tracker1’: timed out (service_start_timeout=120000ms)

(nautilus:6115): GLib-GObject-CRITICAL **: 12:18:48.034: g_object_unref: assertion ‘G_IS_OBJECT (object)’ failed
Then the program finally starts up after a long wait of a couple minutes.
