Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
System:
Ubuntu Gutsy Gibbon x86 (clean install)
2.6.22-14-generic
gutsy-proposed repository is enabled.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Start a new, clean GNOME session (don't open anything yet), activate
audio previews in nautilus (which is the default setting). Don't install
any packages related to audio previews.
2) Get the number of open file handles with "ls /proc/`pgrep
nautilus`/fd | wc -w"
3) Use the audio preview function (even though it won't work because you
don't have the needed packages) - just hover your mouse over a few mp3s.
4) Watch the number of open files increase.
5) When the number of handles reaches 1024 (which is the maximum number
of open files per process), nautilus won't open any files, it just drops
the following in ~/.xsession-errors
(nautilus:<PROCESS ID>): Eel-WARNING **: Error starting command 'gnome-
app-install --mime-type='application/octet-stream' <FILE URI> <FILE
PATH>: Weiterleitung für Kommunikation mit Kindprozess (Too many open
files) konnte nicht erzeugt werden
Unable to create TCP socket
Unable to create TCP socket
(nautilus:7899): Gtk-WARNING **: Error loading theme icon 'gtk-cancel'
for stock: Datei »/usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/actions/gtk-
cancel.svg« konnte nicht geöffnet werden: Too many open files
I know that audio previews require mpg321 and vorbis-tools to be
installed, but this a problem because audio previews are enabled by
default, and the required packages aren't installed. IMO Audio previews
should be disabled by default until this issue is resolved.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
