I've seen a variation of this for nearly a year and it's been bugging me to no end
admittedly mine may be a different issue about 50% of the time when I copy/move a file nautilus will segfault it seems related to the generation of icons I've not gotten any useful data out of running nautilus in a console and looking for an error code, just says segfault I'd be happy to run a development copy with a debug mode so I can track it down, this has persisted in an upgrade from Ubuntu 16.10 to 17.04 how I can help track this down? -- 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/1574598 Title: Nautilus can't move files (at least images) in a stable way Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Like people said in this report : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477 Nautilus is unstable when moving files. This is a severe critical bug on a modern desktop and the joke is that the bug hasn't been assigned since 3 years and the importance is "undecided"!! So I will help you : the importance is "CRITICAL" and the bug must be assigned as soon as possible! The bug is easily reproducible, cut a folder with 1000 images and paste it in another destination. I got two kind of results : 1) Nautilus displays a popup saying that it is preparing the move, but the popup progression is stuck and after minutes nothing happens. After killing Nautilus I found that some files has been moved, at the speed of a 1990 computer while my computer is recent and fast. 2) (another day) Cut/Paste two images folders from a Nautilus tab to another tab : the whole Unity desktop has crashed. I had to turn off computer with hardware button, loosing unsaved data. After reboot I saw that the images was moved. I can't imagine to use a desktop unstable when moving files, this is a sooooooo basic feature! Will you consider this issue seriously? ------------------- * Ubuntu Version $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 * Nautilus Version $ apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installé : 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Candidat : 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Table de version : *** 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1574598/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
