The old directory entry was ls -la .cache/|grep thumbnails drwx------ 1 root root 18 Jul 15 01:40 thumbnails
which came from 12.04 or before, I guess. I can't remember to have ever touched this directory manually. I guess this is the world's most energy consuming missing symlink ever. I expect the number of affected users to be MUCH higher than 129, because this bug was not reported automatically because of an application crash. Think of environmental pollution, think of energy costs (approx. 30USD per year just for me. Multiply with all users coming from older ubuntu versions), think of battery consumption, noise, heat, cooling, and slowness of affected systems. This bug MUST have a HIGH PRIORITY and can be fixed so easy. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1069843 Title: Nautilus consuming memory and cpu Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I noticed that Nautilus seemed sluggish after updating to 12.10 yesterday. Clicks in the window may take a moment to register and the right click menu takes a few seconds to draw. This happens in nautilus windows and on the desktop, but I have not seen this behaviour in any other windows. I checked nautilus in the system-monitor and found that it was eating an excesive amount of memory (14.1/16 gb) and 72% of one cpu-core constantly. The memory starts out low at ~300mb ram and creeps up from there.
