I was seeing similar behavior. Fixed by resetting the Default Zoom Level(s) in the Preferences dialog.
Feisty. Behavior was a little different, but this bug was the closest I could find. After logging in nautilus would hang and peg the cpu. I could kill it and everything was fine except no icons on the desktop (I assume nautilus was hanging while trying to display the desktop). I figured I just had to reset nautilus to defaults but had a hard time figuring out where all the damn settings were. Finally I noticed you can run 'nautilus --no-desktop' and it'll ignore all the preferences. Whoohoo, it worked! (A brilliant idea actually) I figured it was the icon/list view zoom levels, because I had an unusual combination of font size and zoom - to get things looking right with my relatively low-res display - so I reset that and from there was able to just run nautilus (without the --no-desktop arg) and voila, the desktop appeared, all un- zoomed and ugly. I had the zoom at 50% for both icon and list views. Now I can reset it to 75%, but if I set it to 50%, nautilus hangs and pegs the CPU. Very strange. Maybe it's not the same bug after all, I'll check this bug for further comments. -- Nautilus cpu usage of 100%, locks up when pressing the view-menu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/104558 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
