[SOLVED] thunar locking up after installing bottles and a game

this is an odd one.

I recently built a new system, installed arch 5 days ago. I noticed today that when I try to copy(cut) and paste files in thunar, thunar locks up when I right click to paste the files.

steps:
open thunar
navigate to a folder
select a few files (I even tried 1) and right click and select cut
navigate to destination folder
right click... lockup.

however, instead of right clicking to select paste (which locks thunar every time), I either hit CTRL+V (paste) or select paste from the edit menu, and the file(s) are pasted without thunar locking up.

I've tried pasting from one folder to another on the same drive (firecuda), a different drive (another firecuda), or my nas, all with the same results.

has anyone else experienced something like this?

EDIT:
marked as solved. it appears to be a problem when bottles is installed, and a game (guild wars 2 for me) is installed in bottles.


cheers,

Re: [SOLVED] thunar locking up after installing bottles and a game

easier test to reproduce

navigate to a folder you are the owner of
right click any file, copy
right click in that folder

I can copy from the folder with steps above and paste on the desktop with no problems.

boggles the mind.

Re: [SOLVED] thunar locking up after installing bottles and a game

Can you post back:

thunar -V
which thunar

Troubleshooting things to try:

  1. Try with another Appearance (GTK) theme

  2. Try with a clean thunar profile. To do so, run the following commands:

    thunar -q
    mv ~/.config/Thunar ~/.config/Thunar.bak
    mv ~/.local/share/Thunar ~/.local/share/Thunar.bak
    mv ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/thunar.xml.bak

    ...then try running thunar and copy/pasting again

  3. Try with a different new account on your computer with all default settings.
