This problem is quite easily reproduced. configure an nfs server and client according to this howto http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=249889 configure the client to connect to the nfs server on boot with the mount in /media/mount-point. disconnect the nfs server from the network. on the client, open /media/mount-point in nautilus.
nautilus hangs and takes the desktop with it. restarting x does not solve the problem. open windows are responsive and usable. terminal takes input, but the only way to restore the desktop is to reboot. this problem does NOT appear to be a nautilus bug, as the same thing happens to xubuntu's thunar. -- nautilus hangs when mounted nfs drive is no longer accessible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164120 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
