I experienced the same problem. Opening a file dialog in any application causes a 25 second freeze of the program. Thereafter the dialog appears and can be used.
I am using fully updated Ubuntu 8.04.2 (64 bits) clients and server. The problem occurs only with user accounts that have NFS mounted homedirs, when using a program on a client pc. Removing `tracker' from the clients solved the problem for me. I also have seen some programs trying to access `/home/.hidden' like described by somebody above. Allthough I am not sure yet if this causes any problems in my case. -- gtk file dialog blocks on trackerd (via dbus) for 25s for users with NFS homedirs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/218230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
