This is related to bug #125739 (mpg123 and mpg321 won't play audio preview in Nautilus (Gutsy)). Nautilus opens a FIFO when you hover over an audio (.ogg / .mp3) file, but doesn't close it because esound isn't installed on gutsy anymore.
To work around this bug you can either disable audio previews or install pulseaudio-esound-compat (and mpg321, sox and vorbis-tools if you want nautilus to actually play sound). You can continually monitor the number of FIFOs nautilus has opened with the following command: while /bin/true; do clear; lsof -c nautilus|awk '{ print $5; }'|sort|uniq -c|grep FIFO; sleep 1; done -- Nautilus gives error "too many files open" when copying https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/158248 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
