as an update, this is still broken on 20.10. as well, I've noticed an interesting detail, which is that thumbnailing *is* working on my connected Google Drive. so it really does just seem to be samba shares.
As well, I've discovered that if I remove the `/home/tessa/.cache/thumbnails/fail/gnome-thumbnail-factory` directory, then when I reload a samba dir with images in it in nautilus, and creates a bunch of PNGs in it for the number of thumbnails it's failed to generate from the network share, and all id by file as "PNG image data, 1 x 1, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced". So it's definitely trying to create the thumbnails, and then failing in some way. is there any feedback on how to debug this further and find out why it's failing? is there a way to get nautilus to log what it's doing here for further inspection? -- 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/1896138 Title: nautilus doesn't display thumbnails on network share Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I've got nautilus configured to display thumbnails on network shares (prefs -> search&preview -> thumbnails -> all files), but in 20.04 it never shows thumbnails on my samba network shares. Not sure what broke since previous ubuntu releases, but it's definitely not working now. local thumbnail generation and display works fine still, so there isn't an issue with the thumbnail generation itself as far as I can tell.
