[Bug 731863] Re: file manager not responding

 

I have two machines - an old IBM PIII PC and an HP laptop which both
exhibit this problem. Both machines have multiple partitions so I have
the appropriate icons representing them on each desktop. I right-click
on one and take the menu option to mount the drive. The mount takes
place normally and if the icon is then double-clicked (or right-clicked,
then the "Open" option selected) there is a ~ 25 second delay before
anything happens. The launch error box then appears - see attachment,
but then a fraction of a second later the file manager will open over
it. This problem occurs only once after each bootup - once an unmounted
filesystem has been mounted, the others do not display the problem.
Also, it does not matter which partition I choose as the first - as long
as it is the first one chosen after a boot it will be slow to open. My
partitions are EXT3, EXT4 and NTFS. There is nothing reported in the
dmesg file. The problem is evident with either Nautilus or Thunar set as
the default file manager.

Title:
  file manager not responding

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:

  Ubuntu Natty (development branch)

  I've installed Ubuntu 11.04 and nautilus fails to start correctly. It
  seems to me that when i open a window, e.g home folder, keeps opening
  it again and again. If you are lucky (as i was) and forced quit the
  window it seems to be ok.
