I'd like to add my two cents as I got this problem today and was able to resolve it.
I followed the advice above to uninstall the tracker tool but this itself didn't get rid of the problem. I therefore restarted dbus with "sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart" and after a couple of seconds when I got my desktop back the problem was gone. -- 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 Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gtk+2.0 in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
