There have some new important details been observed since, even if we could not get a useful logfile yet:
When audio preview is activated, but not working for there is no esound installed, a new pipe is opened whenever the mouse is moved over a symbol of a mp3-file (You can see that with lsof -c nautilus). That can lead very quickly to a huge number of open files, and Nautilus will freeze quite soon. After deactivating audio preview the number of open pipes does not increase any more by moseover, but it still does increase by handling mp3-files, so that the same bug still can happen, but later than before and not so often. Obviously there are other programs (perhaps players or plugins) who do open pipes. Even if this bug is not a problem of Nautilus itself, it is very ennoying, and new users will loose confidence in Ubuntu when observing such problems! It should absolutely be fixed soon with a official developpers patch! -- Gnome freezes after moving or deleting many files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164971 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
