I can confirm this bug in intrepid. I am using amd athlon 2500+ on nvidia chipset MSI board with nvidia 6800GS video card. Almost every movie folder gives me this problem. I have been having this problem for the last couple months (since intrepid I guess).
Nautilus goes memory crazy for a while and my harddisk runs continuously for a while. Then everything goes back to normal. I have thumbnails at %150. Nautilus runs in this crazy mode for about a minute before it goes back to normal. At %100 there are no problems. During this crazy state, changing the thumbnail size doesn't help, but I can click the UP button to leave the directory with the movie and everything immediately goes back to normal. Let me know if there are any ways I can contribute more information. However, I am quite the newbie in Linux debugging, so you must tell me the exact steps to take. -- nautilus memory leak https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204413 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
