nautilus/thunar/terminal .... doesn't matter where you view it. it does not affect nautilus as currently states. more like systemic ubuntu stuff here
i don't have dropbox, file roller, ubuntu one, nautilus (thunar for me). `ls -al | grep goutput` gives me this: -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 9 16:34 .goutputstream-2KCWDW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 10 20:39 .goutputstream-AVK3DW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 10 02:45 .goutputstream-CAJ7DW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 7 00:22 .goutputstream-EXDSDW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 6 19:44 .goutputstream-FV9TDW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 10 04:28 .goutputstream-GZZYDW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 11 14:52 .goutputstream-L6OUDW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 9 15:57 .goutputstream-ODM4DW -rw------- 1 mdm mdm 51 May 8 14:25 .goutputstream-RYD1DW which seems a lot like my computers startup times.. (or was it shutdowns?, i'll check it sometime..) if i run `strings` on any file i get: <hostname> MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 sg]| all the three lines are the same for all files. I would notice the "DW" on the end of each file name. does it have something to do with "doubleword"? before finding this bug report i was blaming gstreamer for making these files, now i'm in doubt. i've had it all the time 12.04, beta 12.04 and 11.10, running xubuntu, can't remember about ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/984785 Title: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: .goutputstream files polluting $HOME.
