We have a patch applied to Thunar in one of the team ppa's, which
appears to fix the copy/move/refresh issues people are seeing, that
is those mentioned on the recent release note for 16.04.<br>
<br>
We need to get as many people as possible to test this before we
move forward with fixing these bugs. Both people using 16.04 and
those few who've access to 16.10 can test this. If you wish to you
can also test with a virtual machine of your choice.<br>
<br>
So to test with the patched thunar:<br>
<br>
Install ppa-purge (you'll need to use a terminal with apt)<br>
<br>
Add the ppa<br>
<ul>
<li>sudo add-apt-repository <span class="ppa-reference">ppa:xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-staging</span></li>
</ul>
<p>Now update and install Thunar<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>sudo apt-get update <br>
</li>
<li>sudo apt-get install thunar</li>
</ul>
<p>You should see notification that thunar related packages will be
installed/or upgraded to the new version<br>
</p>
<p>Check you have the correct version<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>dpkg -l thunar</li>
</ul>
<p>You should see either 1.6.10-2ubuntu1.0~16.04 or
1.6.10-2ubuntu1.0~16.10 (dependent on whether you are using 16.04
or are using 16.10)<br>
</p>
<p>Now please run both of these testcases from the package tracker<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117794/testcases/1681/results">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117794/testcases/1681/results</a><br>
</li>
<li><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117794/testcases/1682/results">http://packages.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/361/builds/117794/testcases/1682/results</a></li>
</ul>
<p>This IS likely to take some time to complete - I took ~20 minutes
per testcase.<br>
</p>
<p>You can use the Comment area to tell us anything else you might
have seen related to the tests and bugs - but please note the
output of the dpkg -l command from above in Comments.<br>
</p>
<p>Once you have completed the testcases, you can revert to the
previous package by removing the ppa (leaving the ppa will cause
you to receive package updates from there - we use it to test
packages).<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>sudo ppa-purge <span class="ppa-reference">ppa:xubuntu-dev/xubuntu-staging</span></li>
</ul>
<p>regards</p>
