After some more testing: the progress bar seems to fail whenever the copy process total file size is >= 2147483648 bytes.
** Description changed: - I just copied a couple of GiB around and noticed that the progress bar - on the Nautilus launcher item wasn't working. It looks like the progress - bar gets painted in the other direction, but that's just a guess (see - screenshot). - - The progress bar seems to work fine when staying on the root partition. + The progress bar seems to fail showing progress whenever the total file + size limit of the copy process is larger or equal than 2147483648 bytes + (= 2 GiB). TEST CASE: - 1. Open Nautilus and copy more than one large file from one partition to another so the launcher item progress bar pops up. + 1. Create a bad dummy file: + dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy.fail bs=1073741824 count=2 + 2. Create a working dummy file: + cp dummy.bad dummy.good + truncate -s 2147483647 dummy.good + 3. Open Nautilus and copy each one separately to a different place. Filesystems and partitions shouldn't matter. RESULT: - The progress bar doesn't follow the progress shown in Nautilus' file operation dialog. - - Using Unity r1486. + * dummy.good: The progress bar follows the progress shown in Nautilus' file dialog. + * dummy.bad: The progress bar doesn't follow the progress shown in Nautilus' file operation dialog. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/841609 Title: Progress bar overlay not working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/841609/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
