Both nemo and nautilus chrash when opening a nfs share

[Lorenzo Seno]

I have a computer with ubuntu 14.04 gnome flashback 64bit. It was a fresh install, and it is currently updated.
I use a NAS with 4 shared folders via NFS. When trying to open one - and only one - of them using both nautilus or nemo, both nautilus and nemo crash immediately, after a few seconds, while the remaining shares are instead OK.
Apport seems unable to show details, and crashes itself.
Crash erases any icon from the desktop. Everything is nevertheless correctly restored disconnecting the user then reconnecting logging on.
Same behavior using both Compitz and Metacity.
I can open the crashing share using terminal or midnight commander without any problem. I can see files/Folders, delete, move, copy, etc.
No troubles using nemo or nautilus on local folders (e.g. opening /usr/bin, which is a populated folder).

The crashing share is correctly opened by a different computer using Ubuntu 12.04 32bit Gnome fallback session and Nautilus. No troubles at all.

The lone difference I can observe between the crashing share and the other three is that the crashing share shows a lot of items (files&directories) in its root, of the order of few hundreds, while the remaining three shares shows only some dozen of items (I can exactly count them if necessary).

That's all folks.

Some further information.
Opening the crashing share via SMB intead of NFS allows correcly see files, navigate, etc. everything is OK. This happens using both Nemo and Nautilus. (this is for me a workaround).
The number of items in the root of the crashing share is exactly 621, files & directories (mainly files).

Does it crash if you use ubuntu default session?

[Lorenzo Seno (lorenzo-seno)]

If "default session" means Unity, I can't try, because I removed Unity
from both my 14.04 64 bit and 12.04 32 bit Ubuntu computers.
I can reinstall it, if necessary, and try. In this case, please provide
some instructions (apt command line).

Thank you and regards.
And happy new year, of course.

PS: BTW there is another off-topic trouble (bug) in my 14.04
installation: gnome-contacts is unable to show my google contacts.
Sometimes I get the request to re-authorize the access to my google
account. Even doing successfully so, contacts do not appear. Some sparse
problems also with main menu handling, when using custom icons and
commands. Using menu libre solve this problem, but the intermix of
alacarte and menu libre splits categories (I have double categories in
my menu). So, from my point of view, 14.04 is quite buggy, and this
prevents me from upgrading my 12.04 version.

Please try with Unity. I have no idea how much you have removed nor how to restore them. You can try to install ubuntu-desktop, but not sure if it will reinstall unity.

You opened bug for gnome-panel... If it will crash in Unity than it is not bug in gnome-panel, but in other pacakge.

And please open new bug report for other problems. I don't know anyting about gnome-contacts.

[Lorenzo Seno (lorenzo-seno)]

Hi.
As to Unity, I will try, but this will require some time, because in the
meanwhile I rearranged the root folder of the crashing share, so that
the items are now much less (142), and the problem disappeared. Nemo nor
Nautilus do not crash anymore.
This tell us that in some way this bug is tied to the number of items,
which is a problem only for NFS shares.

I can add TO THE ROOT some dummy item (i.e; empty files to reproduce the
problem), then trying first using a regular live 14.04 from a pen.

This bug is very crazy, I cannot figure out where the problem should be
located. I will keep you up to date.

As to the other minor bugs, they are in any case tied to gnome
(gnome-contacts and main menu). Where I have to file a bug report?

Regards.
