I just experienced similar problems in 8.10 Intrepid. Here is what was happening:
1) Click on the menu to launch nautilus (Places ->Home Folder) 2) Nautilus launches, turns grey within 10 seconds, and consumes 90%+ cpu. Only way out is to kill the nautilus window 3) I did a reboot but still happened. Basically, not sequence of reboot, login etc would cause the problem to go away. 4) after reading the above i wondered if there was a file in my home folder that needed to be moved / deleted etc. So what I did was use a terminal, cd into my home directory, and deleted files (one of each .jar, .png, .log, .iso, .jpg). 5) repeated step one after deleting some files from my home directory and voilà, everything was back to normal. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
