How come this has not been corrected in Lucid? In my opinion, these values are way too high for anyone not involved with photography or graphic design: with over 40,000 items on my thumbnail cache, it took my laptop about one minute to be available for any meaningful work after logging in. This on a Core i7 system, which actually takes 20 seconds to boot the whole OS!
I just deleted all items from the thumbnail cache, and set the thumbnail-cache values at 1 day and 32 MB: I rather wait while my computer generates thumbnails on the fly, than to wait one minute every time gnome loads. My system is now back to normal. Anyhow, I have to agree with karlrt: the real bug is g-s-d taking so long to process the cache folder. Anyways, my suggestion is to either fix g-s-d, so as to process the thumbnail folders in an efficient manner, or lower the default values for the cache dramatically. I'm so happy I finally came home after a two week work trip where I didn't have an internet connection to research on the problem or even install iotop. Ohh, and my gnome themes are not crashing randomly at boot anymore. -- gnome-settings-daemon extensive disk usage https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505085 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
