GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 572189
gnome-thumbnail-font high cpu usage
Last modified: 2009-02-18 19:04:45 UTC
this report has been filed here: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/328632 "When browsing directories with pictures, eventually previews stop being shown and "gnome-thumbnail-font" begins using %50 to %100 of the CPU. Expected behavior is to show previews and not have high CPU usage. Upon loading upon my desktop, I am able to view the preview icons in nautilus. However, after going through a few directories, previews will stop showing and a process shows up "gnome-thumbnail-font" which takes %50 CPU usage and sometimes higher. The system starts responding slowly and sound skips. Killing the tasks solves the CPU usage, and the thumbnails will then show up. If I start browsing directories again, it will eventually reoccur. I've deleted the .thumbnails in my home directory a few times but it didn't help. I did not have this issue in Ibex, only in the latest alpha of Jaunty with all updates applied." "Attached patch fixes this issue. Thumbnailer was failing to call g_type_init as required." patch: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/22742731/thumbnailer_gtype_init.patch
