as an update, this is still broken on 20.10. as well, I've noticed an interesting detail, which is that thumbnailing *is* working on my connected Google Drive. so it really does just seem to be samba shares.
As well, I've discovered that if I remove the `/home/tessa/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory` directory, then when I reload a samba dir with images in it in nautilus, and creates a bunch of PNGs in it for the number of thumbnails it's failed to generate from the network share, and all id by file as "PNG image data, 1 x 1, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced". So it's definitely trying to create the thumbnails, and then failing in some way. is there any feedback on how to debug this further and find out why it's failing? is there a way to get nautilus to log what it's doing here for further inspection? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1896138 Title: nautilus doesn't display thumbnails on network share To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1896138/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
