GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 698873
Unable to generate thumbnails for files on sftp mounts
Last modified: 2021-06-18 15:29:52 UTC
Moving the file to local storage sucessfully generates the thumbnail. "Show thumbnails" is set to "Always". Limit is set to 4 GB. For video files, totem-video-thumbnailer is respawned over and over again. Running the exact same command Nautilus does in a terminal sucessfully creates the thumbnail. For image files, Nautilus starts hogging one of the cores and crashes after a while. Running in gdb I get: (gdb) r Starting program: /usr/bin/nautilus warning: no loadable sections found in added symbol-file system-supplied DSO at 0x7ffff7ffa000 warning: Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1.

This is with Nautilus 3.8.1 on Arch. Sorry for missing symbols in the backtrace but debuginfo is not readily available in Arch.
I have the same problem with nautilus-3.8.2 (gentoo, ~amd64).
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of Files (nautilus), then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
