I have the same problem on a 64-bit Ubuntu 8.10 System (2.24.0-0ubuntu2). I tried to produce a Backtrace as described under 'Already running programs' in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Backtrace, but after pressing ctrl+c in step 5 gdb quits so I cannot retrieve the Backtrace.
So I tried to produce a Strace. Then the nautilus process did not stop by itself. When the logfile exceeded 90 MB I stopped it manually. I am attaching the first 1 MB of the Strace logfile. Hope somebody can make sense of this. ** Attachment added: "first 1 MB of Strace for nautilus process" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21157759/strace-nautilus-1stMB.log -- nautilus process uses 100% CPU for 30 sec - 2 minutes on computer startup. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298663 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
