I'm experiencing the same problem. Ubuntu 8.04 desktop, 64-bit version. We are using NIS, Winbind, and NFS shares for home directories. Home directories are automounted (autofs).
First: $ pwd /home/villek $ wget http://www.pygtk.org/pygtk2tutorial/examples/filechooser.py $ strace -tt -T -o /tmp/trace python filechooser.py Then: $ perl -ne '/<(\d+\.\d+)>/ && print "$1 $_"' /tmp/trace | sort -n | tail -2 3.987531 12:23:35.026965 open("/home/.hidden", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <3.987531> 125.049059 12:23:39.016066 open("/home/.hidden", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) <125.049059> After about 125 seconds the window opens, but it does not list anything (only the Open and Cancel buttons are visible), and the window does not redraw itself (i.e. minimizing and maximizing produces a blank window). The home directory is mounted from the server. $ mount | grep home automount(pid6125) on /home type autofs (rw,fd=4,pgrp=6125,minproto=2,maxproto=4) skippy:/vol/home/villek on /home/villek type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,hard,intr,udp,addr=192.168.8.3 Removing tracker did not solve the issue for me. -- gtk file dialog blocks on trackerd (via dbus) for 25s for users with NFS homedirs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
