I am experiencing a similar issue (running feisty). It's not just any svg file that causes this. I had to have two svg files: one downloaded from OpenClipart (router.svg) that was in the Desktop directory and one created by MS Visio (servers.svg) in my home directory. When I opened up the Nautilus file browser it pegged the CPU and would not respond to anything so I killed nautilus and moved the files into a temporary directory using the command line and nautilus runs fine. I moved router.svg into home directory and nautilus worked fine. I move servers.svg and problem recurs. Same impact when moving it to Desktop as well. In every case moving the servers.svg file out of a polled location and HUP to nautilus appears to fix things, then moving it back immediately pegs the CPU.
Note that when I try to open servers.svg in InkScape it looks like hell. I've attached it here. ** Attachment added: "Visio created svg file that causes the problem" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7505537/servers.svg.gz -- Nautilus cpu usage of 100%, locks up when pressing the view-menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104558 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
