Thank you for your bug report, does it do it with any user? Do you have any special file, image or anything in your user directory that could cause issues to nautilus thumbnailing. Does turning thumbnailing off workarounds the issue?

[avi9526 (avi9526)]

No, other users on my PC doesn't have such problem when opening any folder.

This problem persist for my user since Ubuntu 12.04. Before update to Ubuntu 12.10 I remove all hidden files. But problem appear anyway. Removing configuration folders (when Unity not running) ".gnome .gnome2 .gconf .gconfd .metacity .cache .dbus .dmrc .mission-control .thumbnails" doesn't help to solve this issue.

Seems, disabling thumbnailing fix this freeze at starting Nautilus after "killall nautlius" (when I tried disable thumbnailing in nautilus setting - it's freeze for ~20sec). Further more, set option "Count number of items" for folders to "Never" (but thumbnailing for files enabled "Show thumbnails" = "Local files only") help to fix Nautilus start after "killall nautlius" but, when I try to run Nautilus just after I login my user - it's run on background with high CPU usage and not responding for ~30 sec. This seems is not a solution for me.

Below, in attachment, You can find log of command "ls -al" to see if there is any file or folder than can cause such troubles

could you add your ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs to the bug report?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Do you have lot of content in your Templates directory?

[avi9526 (avi9526)]

ls -a ~/Templates/
. .. .directory

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]
