Public bug reported: Occurred while copying an 8GB backup file from an internal HD to a USB HD. The Nautilus process crashed while unattended, likely after the screensaver had kicked in. ("Blank Screen" was selected for the screensaver to reduce CPU load.) ** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu) Imp

This is odd: Nautilus was able to copy this file initially from one internal HD to another, without crashing at 4GB. In this case, the source HD was NTFS and the destination was ext3. -- Nautilus copy to USB hard drive crashed https://launchpad.net/bugs/70535 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubunt

Aha! This is *not* a 'cp' or Nautilus bug, per se -- I think this is a problem with this USB hard drive. Now the question is, is it a particular idiosyncrasy with this external drive, or is it a fundamental limitation of USB technology? (If the latter, then Nautilus --and 'cp'?-- would be improv

"Hence it really looks like only the binary drivers (at least nvidia, haven't tested fglrx) are affected." That being the case, perhaps someone ought to prove it out by installing the Nvidia drivers from the 8.04 era into a fresh install of 9.10 and demonstrating that binary nvidia + compiz + xdam

I'm experiencing the same problem, and tracked it down to the 'exec' line in the '.desktop' file. I'm seeing the same behavior, whether I use the menu editor to create the '.desktop' file, or if I hand-edit the file to modify the 'exec' line. Ironically, I ran into this with Wine, just as the ori

AHA!!! It's NOT a bug in the 'exec' parser!!! I found it... It's a bug in the way the menu editor & Wine create/manage/display the menus. It's not acting consistently! Here's what's happening: I'm running 64-bit Karmic. I have an application I installed in Wine 1.1.38 called "MyApp". When "

This being the case, then at least "the developers"/Canonical should take the responsibility to produce the script you mention, "such that when someone connects to a machine that has desktop effects enabled, the effects could be automatically switched off for that remote control session, and then s

I, too, have a fresh install of 10.10 with all the updates... And I see the same behavior as well. In my case, I have a /boot partition (/dev/sda3) and two RAID-1 partitions containing 10.04 (/dev/md8) and 10.10 (/dev/md9). It will boot as expected to 10.10 (which was installed after 10.04), but
