Public bug reported: I went to Trash (Trash:///), clicked empty. I had at least around 5GBs in there. I confirmed delete, and the operation dialog came up, and said "Preparing". It stayed like this for over a minute. My system slowed to a near freeze. I was able to click Cancel. It took about another minute to respond to the click, but eventually canceled. Everything in the trash was gone. I closed it, and opened it back up. Trash:/// is now so slow it's unusable (almost appears frozen), difficult to close, doesn't allow me to open any other nautilus windows, and it won't show deleted files.
I looked in /home/myname/.local/share/Trash/files, and there was nothing there. I looked in /home/myname/.local/share/Trash/info, and there was a firefox.desktop.trashinfo file. I deleted that, but it didn't help. If I now delete something, it does show up in both of these folders - but not in Trash:///. When I go into either of those folders, my mouse pointer turns into the pointing finger symbol - not sure if this is relevant. Under Trash:///, the Empty button highlights, but files do not show. If I start nautilus (Trash:///) through the terminal, I get: (nautilus:6054): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_utf8_collate: assertion `str1 != NULL' failed This repeats indefinitely as the Trash:/// window instantly slows to a near freeze. I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 32Bit. Fully updated (Security and Recommended) up to this point. Please let me know if these is anything more I can try, or anything more I can add that may help. Thanks very much for the time and help. - Darin ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Emptying Trash:/// slowed to freeze.
