Thread: The folder contents could not be displayed (Invalid argument)


ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) nautilus - folder contents not displayed (invalid argument)

nautilus reports following error when attempt view contents of folder: folder contents not be displayed (invalid argument). in case, unable view or access contents of folder.

problem *seems* localized folders contain larger number of files.

specifically, accessing freenas share multiple subfolders (at various levels) each containing .jpg (photo) files. can access of sub-folders , files fine. error when try accessing 2 folders contain larger number of files. these folders contain 1889 files (179 mb) , 9765 files (9.08 gb) respectively.

of folders on share placed on freenas server @ same time via xp machine. remain able access these folders via xp without issue, not via ubuntu. other folders appearing @ same level in hierarchy accessible via ubuntu , have same permissions.

navigating these folders using nautilus (i.e., gnome menu <places><network><server><share><folder>) using up-to-date install of karmic.

have easy access these files ubuntu machine, stumped how solve. appreciated.
