This bug has been reported on Ubuntu Launchpad as: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504806 When copying a large file, or many files (>5?) over a slow fs, e.g. (s)ftp over gvfs, or even (sometimes) smb over gvfs Thunar fails, either saying "cannot copy xxxxx to yyyy: input/output error" or, just with all instances disappearing from screen competely without so much as a bye bye, or error. e.g. I mount a network fs with Gigolo, such as ftp'ing to my website. I open Thunar on the .gvfs/FTP... mount, and another instance on -say- Desktop. Drag a folder with a descent amount of files in it from the FTP site to the Desktop Thunar, and it starts, then dies after a bit. It seems to have problems when it can't monitor the progress of a transfer? Is it timing out on a per-file basis or something? [sorry, stabbing in dark here]. The same operation with the same mount using pcmanfm works fine, ditto using a terminal to do a cp command. So I conclude it's Thunar, not anything else. If I start Thunar from a command line, I get a "Bus error", outputed when it disappears from screen.
