annoying rotating (busy) cursor when switching dir

Cyper实战(12.04)
cd /usr/share/applications
ls -l nau*
分别打开*.desktop把里边的
nautilus %U
替换成
nautilus

不对,应该是

cd 
mkdir -p .local/share/applications && \
cp /usr/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop .local/share/applications/ && \
gedit .local/share/applications/nautilus-home.desktop

意思是不要修改全局设置, 拷贝一份到personal目录,进行修改.可能需要对该配置文件chmod +x但不确认,可能需要logout切换到unity theme然后切回gnome
反正我重启sudo init 6或sudo service lightdm restart都没解决, 最后logout换个theme然后切回来, 不知道什么时候就正常了.
以后如果再碰到按上面的思路解决确认,

以下是参考:

I had a similar problem - not sure about what "slow" you are talking here, but my slow was about nautilus slow start up and annoying rotating (busy) cursor when switching directories.

Solution: try running nautilus from terminal command line - just like

you@yourhost$ nautilus

if this brings the joy back in form of nautilus without lag then just edit the link/shortcut/launcher properties by changing field

Command: "nautilus %U" into just "nautilus" without fancy %U

worked for me. Hope it will help u2.

I have found the solution but I don't really know why this happens... still there is the solution :

Open the .desktop file of nautilus with a text editor like :
sudo gedit /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop

Go to the end of the file and edit this line :
StartupNotify=true

And change the value "true" to "false" like this :
StartupNotify=false

Then save the file and open again nautilus... no more waiting mouses ^^
