I filed my very first bug on Lanchpad on Tuesday (23rd of March 2010). My Nautilus hangs (bug #544859) (apparently in an infinite loop) when I open Trash. It uses a lot of CPU and greys the window after about 5 secs. Only way out is to force quit the window. I haven't reproduced this fault in any other "places" than Trash.
I have filed a backtrace and it appears to be a memory allocation problem so I need to provide a valgrind log as well. I have scheduled this for tonight (sorry for lagging, Pedro & community).
This is what testing Alpha & Beta software is all about. Using (and sometimes abusing) the system and report findings back. That is how we get a new stable production version of Ubuntu/Debian/OpenSUSE/insert-your-favourite-distribution-here. It is exciting to be a part of this :-)
The developer who grabbed the bug report, Pedro, has been swift in his replies (a lot swifter than my re-replies) and I Thank You, Pedro, for your time and patience :-)

Problems getting ready for Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx beta 1
For several reasons I have decided to move to Ubuntu 10.04 lucid lynx beta 1 from the alpha 3 I am running at the moment.
I am keeping my /home partition while wiping my / partition. Most of this morning has gone with getting the beta 1, writing it to disk and backing up my /home. I found a spare DVD+RW disc to put the backup on.
But I have been fighting with Ubuntu to format/blank this disc and getting brasero to accept it. I have yet to find a way. I have tried the dvd+rw-format utility but to no avail. If this is due to me running alpha software i am not sure, but that's the state I am in at the moment.
I finally found a fresh, blank DVD-RW disc to hold the backup and I'm writing this at the moment.
So I wasted the morning, hopefully things will turn out for the better. I filed a bug on Nautilus hanging when opening Trash in alpha 3 this morning. Let's see if that is present in beta 1 as well.
Analytics 4 Android development has been on hold for the duration of this. Let's hope I get back on track.
