mounting a webdav folder nautilus/panel are unresponsive/locked
Last modified: 2020-11-06 20:23:05 UTC
Please describe the problem: mounting a webdav folder via File-> Connect to Server... the panel and nautilus are realy slow and hang quite often for some seconds. sometimes the panel menu stops working all together. mounting a webdav folder should not have any such effect on nautilus or the panel. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
sounds like a problem of non-async interface
I can confirm this behavior in Nautilus 2.14.2.
I meet also this behauvior. Nautilus 2.14.3
I am also seeing this behaviour in Nautilus 2.14.3 (FC5) and also Nautilus 2.1.6.0 (FC6). James
-> gnome-panel I'm not sure this is still an issue. We are avoiding any possible sync I/O on Nautilus 2.22.x and for the few cases we still do sync I/O, there are already bugs filed for that. Can you try with latest GNOME 2.22 to verify this bug again? Also, this sounds like a gnome-panel issue more than a Nautilus one, so reassigning.
When I mount a webdav folder it works good when I use the right location and right url (you can't use urls which starts with http:// or dav:// or other stuff like that, quite annoying, but that isn't the topic here). It didn't slow down or paused so as happens early days. I guess it is solved. When I connect to the webdav folder, but using the wrong service type (public FTP; the default setting of the selecting box, which I forgot to change), it will wait some moments and tell that it didn't work. But when I repeat it and I add it also to the bookmarks and because it take some time I click on the bookmark of the just added webdav(with wrong ftp setting) folder. At that moment the panel paused at all. I got it back after the time out of the second try to open the folder, when it gives the message dialog: time out. Windows you had open stay working. I can also use shortcuts at the desktop. And then nautilus open without problems. But the panel didn't do anything.
Cosimo, I think your question in comment #5 has been answered in comment #6. I am thus reopening.
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years. If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-panel/-/issues/ Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
