seems like a kernel issue rather than a nautilus one ** Package changed: nautilus (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

I was copying files in Nautilus from my internal HD to an external HD, when after about one minute the whole system froze to the point that I had to shut down my PC brutally using the power button. Here are the details about the drives and partitions: - Internal: 500 GB drive, 460 GB NTFS partition, distinct from my Ubuntu partition - External: 1 TB, one single NTFS partition I've been using Ubuntu for just about 4 weeks, but before today I'd been reading and writing from both drives involved without any issue. I was not able to clearly identify the particular conditions that were causing the copy operation to fail, as the circumstances varied: - In one occurrence of the bug, I also had a second external HD (320 GB) plugged in; however, when the problem reoccurred this was no longer the case. - The folder I was trying to copy that first caused the issue was an SVN repository (30 MB). However, I was subsequently able to copy it succesfully. Besides, later on the issue occurred with a different folder containing photos (12 GB). **EDIT**: After the issue occurred again, I feel like I should add some more details regarding how exactly it manifests. The exact symptoms of the freeze are variable: - Sometimes, the system just gets downright frozen - I can't do anything, even move the mouse. - Sometimes, I'm able to move the mouse around, but that's all I can do. - Last time it happened, when I saw that the copying was blocked I was able to close the copy dialog. But a few seconds afterwards, all Nautilus windows were grayed out, so I pressed Alt+F2 in order to open xkill. The menu did open, but the system then froze before I could launch xkill. **END OF EDIT** ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: nautilus 1:3.8.2-0ubuntu2 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-12.19-generic 3.11.3 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-12-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2 Architecture: i386 Date: Sun Oct 20 20:11:57 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-09-30 (19 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Alpha i386 (20130829) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1242408/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
