I have the same problem using a relatively recent install of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.
transferring files from one directory to another on an internal raid 6 setup. The preparing file transfer dialog will come up and then take forever to complete. If I try to cancel the transfer process the desktop will crash (all desktop icons disappear). If I execute the same mv command from the terminal it completes in mere seconds. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1133477 Title: cut-n-paste move files got stuck forever To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1133477/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
