Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better.
Is it a local file you are trying to rename? or a file on a network share? I opened thunar on this running 19.10 box (amd64), selected a file and pressed <F2> to have the "Rename" dialog box appear. It was left for more than 90 seconds and nothing changed, no error dialog about timeout. I booted a different 19.10 test box [x86], opened thunar and selected a file and pressed <F2> to have the "Rename" dialog box appear. It again was left for 90+ seconds and nothing changed or no timeout dialog. I booted the Xubuntu 19.10 daily (2019-09-26.1) opened thunar, created a odt file, selected it, pressed <F2> to rename and waited 3 minutes - no timeout errors occurred, it's still waiting now 10+ minutes since F2 was pressed (though I've had to stop screensaver now twice), and at the "Enter the new name:" dialog I was unable to recreate this issue sorry. Not with local files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1845828 Title: Timeout error while renaming a file To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1845828/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
