Re: Nautilus slow/unresponding/crashing

[Hashem Nasarat <hnasarat gmail com>]

Hi Andrea,

You could start by making sure all instances of nautilus are killed (`pkill -f nautilus` a few times?)

After that you could try and see if there are more useful debug messages by running:
`G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all nautilus`

and then reproducing the problem once more.

Hi,
  from time to time (actually, very often in the last days, and almost
always today) Nautilus hangs and does not respond, and sometimes
crashes, even when I try to do simple actions (open a folder in a new
tab, copy a file, etc.).

Now I can almost reproduce the problem: make a copy of a 2 MB PDF file
in a folder containing less than 20 items takes more than 30 seconds.

Sometimes, the action is not performed and Nautilus crashes.

Terminal command "ls -l" in the affected directory runs fine.

BTW, there are many "affected directories", not just one.

dmesg shows nothing.

Running nautilus in a terminal window (in a "crash" case) shows

$ nautilus
sys:1: PyGIWarning: Nautilus was imported without specifying a version
first. Use gi.require_version('Nautilus', '3.0') before import to
ensure that the right version gets loaded.
Gdk-Message: 09:37:53.604: Lost connection to Wayland compositor.

Could anybody please help me to debug and solve it?

Thank you very much,
Andrea
