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.
