[SOLVED] Thunar fails

Post by bradnag »

Time to time thunar fails (I do not know why) and I have to kill it. I cannot replicate the failure
Then when I restart it, fails and only reboot fix this issue.

Did you do this to "kill" it?

Code: Select all

thunar --quit
Because using "killall" or forcibly ending a program through the Task Manager is not recommended.

Otherwise it might have to do with disk space almost full or caches needing to be cleaned. You didn't give more information about your system which causes the rest of us to guess.

What devices do you have mounted? Do you have any network shares?

You NFS connection probably goes stale after a while, thunar tries to use it and then just keeps on trying. If you remount the NFS share it will probably be OK. You might want to try autofs for mounting your NFS shares.

Great job! Thanks, that's exactly what it was.
