Thumbnail cache "problem"

Post by JoeInMN »

Hello,

Nemo occasionally gives me a message about a problem with my thumbnail cache, and opting to fix it brings up an admin password dialog as in the attached screenshot. Can anyone tell me what's going on here? I have been hitting "Cancel" every time until I know.

Thanks!

Open terminal and enter

Code: Select all

ls -la ~/.cache
paste the output here.

Attention: The output is most likely tremendous. Therefore after having it pasted in your reply mark it and click the code-button above the edit-window in the forum.

I have had a similar problem and was able to fix it with a terminal command

Code: Select all

sudo nemo --fix-cache
enter your root password when prompted and you should see the text "User thumbnail cache successfully repaired."
