"open image in a new tab" and dragging from there was the most reliable way to reproduce the bug) 2. invoke netstat -tp in the console the socket opened by gvfsd-http wont go away workaround: kill the daemon (using killall gvfsd-http) or log out ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Apr 30 02:22:47 2010 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd-http NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia Package: gvfs-backends 1.4.1-0ubuntu1 ProcEnviron: SHELL=/bin/bash PATH=(custom, user) LANGUAGE=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.31-20.58-generic SourcePackage: gvfs Uname: Linux 2.6.31-20-generic i686 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/571970/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
