Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
After upgrading Dapper to Edgy, invoking nautilus using the command gksudo nautilus will allow some browsing, but after a short time, the screen will lock. Copying and pasting files may work once or twice, but will also fail quickly with a locked screen requiring a force quit of nautilus. Running Nautilus as normal user is not affected. Other running programs are not affected. This was not a problem in Dapper. The problem seems to manifest more quickly when browsing/copying directories and files owned by root. ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- nautilus fails in sudo mode https://launchpad.net/bugs/73586 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
