This continues to affect me. I can no longer run the nautilus file manager in a useable state. Whether launching from the command line or using the unity launcher for Home Folder, nautilus is hung, not responding and 100% CPU between all 4 cores is being used. I am able to view this behavior under gnome-system-monitor tab "resources", however the "processes" tab does not show what's eating CPU, nor does top, nor htop. Also, htop correlates the four cores totaling 100% constantly. When nautilus does "run" (show its gui), it grays-out during any actions (since the CPU is pegged, I'd assume).
I created an additional user account to test this. Nautilus appears to work correctly under a unity session with the new user. Logging back in with my normal user results in this same behavior, even using the classic session w/o effects. Only by logging in to a safe-mode session does nautilus work properly and CPU usage is normal. What could possibly have become corrupted suddenly? The .nautilus folder in ~/ is empty. I removed all gvfs-metadata. I cleared the zeitgeist cache and recently-used. Killing the nautilus process immediately spawns another, so this is negatively affecting my entire experience w/natty since the CPU is constantly running at 100% -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/732114 Title: nautilus failed to start on natty with the latest updates -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
