Public bug reported: Nautilus crashes almost instantaneously when opening /usr/bin. I have not noticed this with any other folder that may contain a large number of files (it does not happen when opening /usr/lib or /usr/share).
I have looked at a couple of other similar bugs and I can confirm that Assistive Technologies is disabled and so are file previews and I also made sure that it would open the folder in list view. Default zoom for list view is 50%. Nautilus appears to spike to 100% CPU usage upon navigating to /usr/bin (its hard to be certain as it crashes as soon as the information is displayed in system monitor), but I dont think it is consuming much more than 30MiB of memory before it crashes (once again, it is hard for me to be certain of this). I am using Ubuntu 10.04 and Nautilus 2.30.1 and Kernel 2.6.32-33-generic ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- 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/813911 Title: Nautilus crashes while opening /usr/bin To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/813911/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
