Out of the blue I can't start nautilus today. When I try to open any directory it tries to open it, and sometimes I even can see the content of directory, but finally it's closed, after that there are no icons on desktop. When I tried to launch nautilus from terminal, I got:

$ nautilus .
Initializing nautilus-dropbox 0.7.1
Initializing nautilus-gdu extension 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I've tried to move ~/.local/share/gvfs-metadata folder, I don't have nautilus-open-terminal package and don't have file /usr/local/lib/libgtk-3.so.0

Also I can't update system right now. All the time I'm getting the the same hash-sum error:

$ sudo apt-get update

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

Any ideas how to rescue my system?

UPD: In syslog I have the following errors:
