I'm also having this problem, so I can try to add an example/screenshot and some more info. In the screenshot, item #1 is the example file in a VNC window of the server itself, item #2 is the same file in a Nautilus window on the client, and item #3 is the result of dragging the file from the Nautilus window to the client desktop.
Some other relevant info: 1) This example file was created on the server, but the problem also occurs when files created elsewhere are copied to the server. 2) Files created on the client then copied over work fine. Also, if I were to copy the example file on the client desktop back to the network share, the thumbnail information would persist. 3) Nautilus is definitely trying to generate thumbnails. It will take a while to process folders with large amounts of files and everything will work properly except PDF/CBR files (as far as I've seen). 4) My server is running OpenSolaris 2008.11 and sharing through Samba via ZFS. Client is Linux Mint 6.0 with Nautilus 2.24.1. Problem is reproducible with Ubuntu Intrepid live CD. Thumbnails work fine with Windows Vista client. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of Problem" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21588557/screen.png -- No thumbnails for some file types on network shares https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298072 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
