Thank you for your bug and opening it upstream

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

This happens with me too, on gutsy

I got this error on Feisty 7.04 and it has totally broken Ubuntu for me. Despite deleting more files to free up space Nautilus still reported 0 bytes disk space free, and after a reboot Ubuntu will not log in normally: after I enter my user name and password it cannot continue. I am new to Ubuntu and have had to go back to Windows to post this. Argh!

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

This is not an issue to me anymore.

Do you still have those messages?

[Jonh Wendell (wendell)]

Upstream closed the bug, will do the same, since it's not an issue to me for a year.

Bug alive as of Mar 19 2009

[rtimai (rtimai)]

Mar 29, 2009, I am seeing these messages in terminal after gksudo nautilus closes, with differing numbers of "elements still in hash table," and list of directories nautilus has navigated. Can anyone tell me whether these errors are cumulative (as the former Windows user apparently has suggested,) or can I safely ignore them?

Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)

May 30, 2009, I'm seeing this problem exactly as described in the initial report, in the following versions:

Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty)
Kernel 2.6.28.22-generic
GNOME 2.26.1

[A. Walton (awalton)]

It's not a (real) problem. It's harmless debug spew.

[Anthony (anicotra-cfl)]

Thanks,

I've read that in some other posts. However, this problem just started today. Since yesterday, I've installed several themes and icons. I also installed code:blocks. I can't remember if I installed anything else. Is there a install log, that I can check?

It must be one of those new installs that's causing the "spew".

[A. Walton (awalton)]

No, it's pretty much there no matter what you do: if you run nautilus from a terminal, it will spit out junk such as that (plugins init'ing and finalizing, Eel's overly-chatty hash table warnings, etc). We could silence it, but it was put there for a reason (to catch real bugs, mainly leaks that fill the mentioned hash table with NautilusFiles that lasts until the program is exited).

[Yamaplos (yama-netoso)]

maybe we could say so? i.e. "this is not a real bug"
I mean, as is usability-wise it's unfriendly to us noobs

remember the people who thought their early Mac was about to explode
when they saw the little bomb icon?
