Description of problem: ======================= nautilus deadlocks while opening a (specific) folder. Apparently only some arrangements of files trigger the bug. The problem disappears if you change (aka rename, add or delete) something and it comes back when you re-rename it or if you just create a file with the same name. The problem seems to be very nautilus specific and filesystem independent. Accessing the same folder other than with nautilus works fine. I noticed that the problem moves along with the folder. Anywhere. Even on another computer or on a samba mount. It is not a regression. The bug's been there since at least FC5. Version-Release number of selected component: ============================================ nautilus up to 2.20.0-6.fc8 How reproducible: ================= It is difficult. The bug happens only with specific combinations of filenames. Once found, the right combination consistently triggers the bug. I've located a folder with such a combination and I'll try and keep it untouched for a while, but please let me know ASAP if you need it. This is why I labeled the bug as urgent - Sorry if it is inappropriate. Steps to Reproduce: =================== Open a folder with a content that triggers the bug Actual results: =============== The folder window opens and shows icons correctly. Nautilus locks and eats 100% of the CPU. You have to kill nautilus to unlock it.
Could you please provide the sample structure in order to reproduce the bug locally? It would help us a lot. Regarding the lock and 100% cpu usage - similar behaviour was reported as another bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=430333 --> please test the updated nautilus-2.20.0-8.fc8 build, you should see immediate crash instead of deadlock
Unfortunately I had to change the content of the disk and I can't easily trigger the bug anymore. Though I'm sending you some info in private, to help you repoduce it yourself.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
