Ubuntu 9.10 rc Using Nautilus, the time it takes to display files in (for example) the /usr/bin directory with 1573 files takes 2 mins 23 seconds.
It seems the problem has to do with using 'icon' or 'list' view. I always use list view and that causes it to take over 2 mins. If I use icon view it takes around 20 seconds. Select (say) /usr/bin and with the Nautilus dropdown control change to List view from Icon view. It takes ages to show the result on my machine. Switch back to Icon or Compact view and it's much quicker to display. Sometimes when it's taking too long I kill Nautilus and all the icons are removed from the desktop. They remain removed until I log-in again. -- nautilus excessive cpu and delay opening directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/364838 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
