I can confirm this bug when working with MP3 files. Nautilus debug log attached, although I don't think it will be of much use.
I ran lsof and compared results between a fresh boot and when the problem is occurring. It seems to be characterized by nautilus opening an extremely large number of pipes (more than 1000). ** Attachment added: "nautilus-debug-log.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11104630/nautilus-debug-log.txt -- Gnome freezes after moving or deleting many files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164971 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
