RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.
Description of problem:
when searching / or just /home/user/ for test nautilus is unusable, I have i7 processor so other cores or threads can be used no need for such behaviour.
matches found 3.500 from search over / nautilus was unresponsive for a few minutes, this is odd
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.28.4-18.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100%
Steps to Reproduce:
1.place some file on your desktop (e.g. testfile.txt)
2.go into search dialog (ctrl+f)
3.search file in /
Actual results:
have to wait for search end to continue work
Expected results:
can work during nautilus search
Additional info:
it's not cycling .. it will finish .. the thing is it's not running in separate thread. I can work in other programs but when moving search dialog around my desktop is blurred it possibly redraws but after 30 seconds or so .. It should be possible to work without noticing something is working in background.
no I do not have tracker installed.. what is it? is it available in RHEL6?
Tracker is semantical indexer, working in background, making a database of your documents, pictures, etc. Nautilus can use tracker to quickly find what you need.

Ha, it's not... I thought we pushed full set of basic gnome desktop components there. Ok then.
Not sure if this is easily fixable as we probably need to make sync operations async.
Okay, this looks like a candidate for fixing. But first, could you please attach debugger to a running process and grab a backtrace at the point nautilus is unresponsive? It would give me an idea what's going on...
Btw. the search is actually running in a thread, might be a synchronize issue or your system just can't hold that much I/O load.

Since RHEL 6.3 External Beta has begun, and this bug remains
unresolved, it has been rejected as it is not proposed as
exception or blocker.
Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to
propose this request, if appropriate and relevant, in the
next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
