Actually I have no idea. I have installed 8.10, 9.04 and now 9.10 (alpha/beta) over the previous releases (upgrade had always lead to more problems including trashed X configuration). So the only thing that has survived is the home directory and the list of applications I install after reinstall.

The crash might be not related to the large data transfer, because it had just stopped at requester for confirmation of overwritting of files. The data transfer resumed as soon as I confirmed the requester but then the bug report has already been filed. I hope it helps. -- gnome-vfs-daemon assert failure: libgnomevfs:ERROR:gnome-vfs-volume.c:254:gnome_vfs_volume_unset_drive_private: assertion failed: (volume->priv->drive == drive) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/452775 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
