Thank you Aliasbody! Your post helped me solve my problem...
After I read that post, I realized that Nautilus started lagging and chewing up RAM, when I was copying files from my external hard drive to my cpu. I must have interrupted Nautilus while it was copying...and ever since it has been trying to complete that action...even after rebooting and reinstalling Nautilus & removing all add on's. Hopefully these steps will help other "Newbies" like myself! 1. SYSTEM >>> ADMINISTRATION >>> SYSTEM MONITOR 2. Click on "Processes" & right click on "Nautilus", click on "Memory Maps" and click on the column that says "VM Size" (this will sort the column so you can see what specific folder or file is hogging up the memory). There is nothing else you can do here, but you can leave it open so you can remember the file location! 3. (OPTIONAL) If your computer is lagging due to Nautilus chewing memory, open a terminal and type in "nautilus -q"...that will quit & restart Nautilus. 4. Open "Nautilus" and navigate to the folder or file that was chewing up all of the memory and delete it! I hope this helps someone out. After I found the folder that was causing trouble & deleted it....my Ubuntu Studio 10.10 is running FLAWLESSLY! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/669594 Title: Nautilus after install Ubuntu 10.10 is very slow ! -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
