Nemo hangs, LM14-x64-Cinnamon

[Simmi]

Hi

I have real issues with Nemo hanging on file transfer (Both on a desktop and a Notebook) - even after a fresh install. Fails more times than it works over a Samba connection. Also hangs copying disk to disk and also to/from USB. There is no way to abort the copy other than kill the process.

Other Nemo Gripes.
1. The Computer group does not now include the user directories, Downloads, Video etc.. They now appear in Bookmarks.. These get lost in my other bookmarks and is a real pain in the ass..

2. If you change ownership from a command-line 'chown' of a directory and its folder/contents that nemo has open, Nemo crashes and dissapears.

3. Sometimes when you invoke a copy of files, the transfer dialog does not appear and nemo hangs.

4. The custom zoom settings do always not get applied - especially on the file listing. I have to continually go and manually set the zoom level which is sending me nuts.

Why change a working system.. I cannot do squat with a broken file manager.
Just should have kept the old nemo, changed the panel colours and added the buttons to the ribbon/tool bar. woulda worked great.

I do not need a workaround for these issues as I am now forced to revert to LM13 till you get it all stable - I just wasted 2 days upgrading everything and now another to revert.

Comment: You should have done more testing on a radical change/remodel to a fundemental part of the mint software.

I thought i was the only one having this problem.
Nemo freezes while copying files over network.

I have the same issue - though I am on Mint Nadia Mate, which I believe uses Caja...

. When I try to copy files from the NAS back onto the laptop the copying dialogue freezes after a few files and then cannot be stopped
any way to solve this?

I have exactly the same problem. Please fix it or provide a workaround.

I am having the same problem on the 32 bit version of Cinnamon!

I just finished having to upgrade from Ubuntu 10.10, and I am already wishing I could go back. 90% of what I want a linux box for is file transfers and this pile of refuse we call Nemo is completely worthless and as such, makes is OS version useless.

I'm having the same problem with fully updated 32-bit Mint 14 (Mate) on a Dell Latitude D820. Dragging and dropping photos via USB from a Canon Ixus 230HS camera I get a copy process hang every few files - copying a couple of hundred has just taken me 30-40 minutes of manual operations. If you try to unmount the USB media you get a Volume is Busy from Caja.

I don't understand how an OS could be released with so little testing of such a common operation. It's very damaging for Mint's credibility - a new Linux user trying it for the first time would obviously walk away and probably tell their friends. Truly dismal.

I'm also noticing Nemo lagging and freezing. Specially copying over the network.
I have a Gigabit Switch and Router with Gigabit connections on my computers.
I normally copy files from my Fedora 8 Server to my Mint 14 32-bit computer with a Samba configuration.
But I get extremely slow speeds or freezing all together.
I hope Mint includes an update to fix this problem.

Also same problem here,
Start copying files from a network share, and the progress bar doesn't leave 0 bytes.
Weirdest thing though, sometimes I can transfer files from a different directory, but not a particular one.

I noticed this problem started IMMEDIATELY after removing an old windows XP computer from the network, was that windows computer somehow doing something for the network?
It literally started this issue 30 minutes after the win xp computer was disconnected.

Everything has all been restarted etc.

I had to re-install Mint 14.
Since then I've had Nemo crash only a few times... so it is running fine now.
I have also applied some updates too.
I have been able to copy large directories with loads of files to and from my Fedora 8 server.
