Bug Description

Binary package hint: thunar

Unbuntu 9.10 Karmic
Thunar 1.0.1-1ubuntu2

When copying a large file, or many files (>5?) over a slow fs, e.g. (s)ftp over gvfs, or even (sometimes) smb over gvfs Thunar fails, either saying "cannot copy xxxxx to yyyy: input/output error" or, just with all instances disappearing from screen competely without so much as a bye bye, or error.

e.g. I mount a network fs with Gigolo, such as ftp'ing to my website. I open Thunar on the .gvfs/FTP... mount, and another instance on -say- Desktop. Drag a folder with a descent amount of files in it from the FTP site to the Desktop Thunar, and it starts, then dies after a bit.

It seems to have problems when it can't monitor the progress of a transfer? Is it timing out on a per-file basis or something? [sorry, stabbing in dark here].

The same operation with the same mount using pcmanfm works fine, ditto using a terminal to do a cp command. So I conclude it's Thunar, not anything else.

If I start Thunar from a command line, I get a "Bus error", outputed when it disappears from screen.

This bug was fixed in the package thunar - 1.1.4-0ubuntu1

---------------
thunar (1.1.4-0ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low

  * Upload to natty (pkg-xfce svn r4407), remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/control:
      + use our Vcs-* fields
    - debian/patches:
      + xubuntu-fix-desktop-files.patch: various fixes to desktop files:
        . make thunar and thunar-bulk-rename appear under Accessories not System
        . make destop-file-validate happy (remove 'Application;')
        . add 'OnlyShowIn="XFCE;"' to Thunar-folder-handler.desktop so that
          GNOME defaults to Nautilus and not Thunar
        . hide Bulk Rename from the menu LP: #441278.
  * Partially revert pkg-xfce svn r4189 to build the trash panel plugin again,
    as there is xfce4-panel 4.7.x in natty.
  * debian/patches/xubuntu-fix-desktop-files.patch: refreshed to apply cleanly.
