I can’t open my file manager on XFCE
Failed to run default file manager
input/output error
There are now more updates in the testing branch. See if the issue is resolved after updating and rebooting:
If installing the latest updates doesn’t work:
Generally that’s caused by either:
- not rebooting after updating kernel/drivers/systemd
or - a failing storage drive
If rebooting normally via the GUI doesn’t work, you can try switching to a different TTY (i.e. Ctrl Alt F5), logging in, and running sync; sudo systemctl --force --force reboot. That might not work if you can no longer authenticate due to updated packages.
If a reboot does not resolve it, you might want to boot from a flash drive with manjaro on it and run gsmartcontrol (should be installed out of the box on the main Manjaro flavors, but is for-sure installed on the Xfce iso) to check the S.M.A.R.T. attributes of the drives on your system to see if any are failing.

lectrode. After the update I restarted the computer. I decided to follow your suggestion (tty), but the explorer still doesn’t work. Thanks
I suggest try launching Thunar from terminal with these commands:
xfce4-mime-helper --launch=FileManager
and
thunar
responses should at least report a more meaningful error-message

I can’t find this version only 5.2-3
It is 0.5.2-4 . You need to wait for your mirror to sync, or switch to an up to date mirror.

I just updated the mirror list in the terminal and thunarx-python 0.5.2-4 appeared there. I installed it and now I have the file manager working. Thanks
