Bug Description

I have a similar problem, when I type the command sudo nautilus happens the error below.

Nautilus opens, closes however if I want to get into any folder properties.

$ sudo nautilus

(nautilus:7610): Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: g_module_open libpython failed: /usr/lib/libpython2.7.so.1.0: Não é possivel abrir arquivo de objetos compartilhado: Arquivo ou diretório não encontrado
ImportError: could not import gobject (error was: '/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpyglib-gi-2.0-python2.7.so.0: undefined symbol: _Py_ZeroStruct')

(nautilus:7610): Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: pygobject initialization failed

(nautilus:7610): Nautilus-Python-WARNING **: nautilus_python_init_python failed

I want to change the permissions of a folder and subfolders and files, however the terminal does not present any error but too does not change the permissions. And to change opening the Nautilus happens that I reported above.

My system is Ubuntu 13.04 updated
My computer is Notebook HP AMD A8 64 bits

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Confirmed that this bug exists on 14.04 release with nautilus version 3.10.1 but the error message is as follows:

(nautilus:13221): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to register client: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files
**
ERROR:nautilus-properties-window.c:1839:schedule_owner_change_timeout: assertion failed: (NAUTILUS_IS_FILE (file))

running graphical softwares under sudo is neither recommended nor supported, don't do that

and under gksudo? I thought it should have worked, then.

no, it's neither secure to run that much code (including GUI) under sudo right nor working right with the user session (the process run with another uid and with the wrong environment which means basic integration with the session components is going to fail working since there is not even a session for the user running the binary)
