Hi, I don't know if this is related to Unity, I followed an advice on Nautilus bug report. I made the cut/paste with shortcuts ctrl+x/ctrl+v.

It seems the Unity crash happened around line : "Apr 25 13:34:18 fractal org.gnome.Nautilus[1030]: Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged." This line is followed by unknown symbols (GEdit displays an error message), then by a computer restart and file system restore. I did a cut/paste on one or two folders, containing around 1000 JPG images, from and to the same disk. Unity froze almost instantly (can't switch to TTY or do anything). After some time I turned off computer with hardware button and restarted it. After logging in Unity I found that the files had been correctly moved. It seems the issue is triggered by Nautilus, cause yesterday Nautilus was stuck while moving same kind of files, but Unity was still working and I was able to kill Nautilus. * Ubuntu Version $ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Release: 16.04 * Nautilus Version $ apt-cache policy nautilus nautilus: Installé : 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Candidat : 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 Table de version : *** 1:3.18.4.is.3.14.3-0ubuntu4 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status * Unity version $ apt-cache policy unity unity: Installé : 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 Candidat : 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 Table de version : *** 7.4.0+16.04.20160415-0ubuntu1 500 500 http://fr.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1574658/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
