The solution in the upstream post is actually almost right, but it is a little simpler than that. I've posted this upstream as well, but until they get around to it, it might be useful to include this patch in the ubuntu packages.
The section of code should just return TRUE instead of FALSE. Returning FALSE means that the operation should be deferred in a thread (and the thread may not run in this case until the job is destroyed so it crashes.) At least in my system, marking the operation as failed doesn't disconnect the mount. It was disconnected because the backend crashed. >From the backend header: These try_ calls should be fast and non-blocking, scheduling the i/o operations async (or on a thread) or reading from cache. Returning FALSE means "Can't do this now or async", which means the non-try_ version will be scheduled in a worker thread. ** Patch added: "Fix a crash with try_get_settable_attributes returning async on failure" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/574693/+attachment/2320790/+files/gvfsbackendftp_try_query_settable_attributes_sync.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/574693 Title: nautilus ftp file transfer hangs in lucid Status in Nautilus: In Progress Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Binary package hint: nautilus 1) Description: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Release: 10.04 Description: Ubuntu 11.04 Release: 11.04 2) nautilus version: 1:2.30.0-0ubuntu4; 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13 gvfs version: 1.8.0-0ubuntu2 3) I tried to copy a directory with files from a server to my PC via FTP. I expected finishing the transfer. 4) The file transfer window appears and after a few percent of progress, it stops copying. I can not close the window, because when I click the cancel button, it goes to gray and nothing happens after that, so I have to kill the nautilus process. When I had tried to copy the same directory again, it stopped at the same percent of progress. Copying the same directory in nautilus via SFTP works flawlessly. Also copying that directory by gFTP works without problem. I did not see any error messages or entries in syslog related to this problem.
