As others have said this bug does not affect Kubuntu and Dolphin, and you can use Dolphin on Gnome Shell or Xfce and it works as expected. I have KDE installed in parallel with Gnome 3.6 and Xfce 4.10. Other clues - It also appears to be an issue of the number of files being transferred, not the

Bud, The difference between your Raring and mine was my use of the Gnome PPA, specifically Nautilus version 3.7.91 It might be worth updating a standard raring with the Gnome PPA active and see what happens. I have no idea what might happen to Unity if you do that as I am a Gnome user. One

I tried it my self. Clean Raring Xubuntu with Gnome PPA and Nautilus 3.7.91. And it choked when I tried a big transfer. So updating to Raring is not a workaround in and of itself, nor is updating Nautilus. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which

Ubuntu is not really Debian based, most Raring packages are way ahead of even Debian Experimental. Ubuntu uses deb packaging and the basic Debian system layout but has long since ceased to be just a repackaged Debian. I am currently installing Squeeze and will upgrade to Sid. I will test and

Debian Sid is also free of this bug, but is way behind and still on Gnome 3.4. My number two machine is working well with Samba and I am going to leave it on Debian. I suspect the bug might still be lurking upstream, but for the moment it is OK. I guess running Sid is no different to going back to

@AndreK I am beginning to think there is no solution for Unity users. The only two approaches that work at the moment are 1. to use Kubuntu and use eg Amarok for music or 2. upgrade a 12.10 Gnome Remix to 13.04 and add the Gnome PPA and then upgrade the lot to Gnome Shell 3.8. I am happily using

@Gustavo You probably need backports active in updates. Simplest solution is to install Synaptic, start it up and go to the Updates tab and select backports. Then refresh and then do the updates. Mine Quantal is a 32bit, so if you are 64bit it might just be a matter of waiting a day. -- You
