Public bug reported: But only when using the copy to... option on files from another partition, locally there is no issue. The nauutilus window just goes gray & no other nautilus windows can be opened or accessed if already open. The nautilus process is still running, no crash.
Test case here: Open nautilus > Other location+ > browse to a file in another partition > r. click > copy to > pick a local folder. Copy is successful. Repeat on another file, nautilus 'freezes', no copy happens, nautilus is unresponsive but not crashed. Only killing nautilus will bring back, trying to quit nautilus in terminal does not work, shows this - $ nautilus -q (nautilus:5934): GLib-GIO-CRITICAL **: g_dbus_interface_skeleton_unexport: assertion 'interface_->priv->connections != NULL' failed ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: nautilus 1:3.18.4-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.3.0-5.16-generic 4.3.3 Uname: Linux 4.3.0-5-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.19.3-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Thu Jan 7 18:59:45 2016 GsettingsChanges: b'org.gnome.nautilus.window-state' b'geometry' b"'1455x782+465+298'" b'org.gnome.nautilus.list-view' b'default-column-order' b"['name', 'size', 'type', 'owner', 'group', 'permissions', 'mime_type', 'where', 'date_modified', 'date_accessed', 'date_modified_with_time']" InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-01-07 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Alpha amd64 (20160107) SourcePackage: nautilus UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug xenial ** Summary changed: - nautilus 'freezes' when using "copy t ..." option more than once + nautilus 'freezes' when using "copy to ..." option more than once -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1532044 Title: nautilus 'freezes' when using "copy to ..." option more than once To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1532044/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
