Robert Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 There I was at the University of South Carolina website downloading images, when Ubuntu started giving nautilus crash messages. Rebooting fixed the problem, for a few minutes at a time, then I got this screen and all hope was lost: http://imgur.com/eWQy4sM All I had been doing is downloading newspaper images like this: http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn93067853/1906-07-27/ed-1/seq-1/ Something about having those files on the computer causes the screen to mess up. I thought I would have to reinstall Ubuntu, but I found that by hooking up the Ubuntu drive as a slave drive to Fedora, I was able to delete the image files (.jpg) of the newspapers. That fixed everything. I experimented a bit first. Deleting the jpg file from the Ubuntu desktop fixed the screen problem, but having a copy of it in the downloads folder still crashed nautilus if I selected that folder. Weird.

amenditman Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Obviously, there was more in the file downloaded than a simple image. Can you examine the meta-data and other non-image info in the file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not downloading from that website using Ubuntu. I still have the files on the Fedora drive so will take a look later. Is there anything I need to know to look at the meta-data?

amenditman Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 "You can extract metadata from files with the exiftool command (part of the libimage-exiftool-perl package)." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
securitybreach Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Where did you get the jpg files as the download links list pdf, text and jp2 (which is essentially a type of jpeg)? I downloaded the jp2 file and it opened with gimp just fine. Perhaps this is a bug with nautilus and jp2 file but that would be too common not to be fixed.

securitybreach Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Here is the exiftool output on the same image as you linked to: I had to use an image as it wouldn't line up right on code or quote pastes. Here is a link to the output: http://ix.io/Udx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted June 19, 2016 Author Share Posted June 19, 2016 I gave it a try but I can't get the Exif program to work. More info on the original problem: I had downloaded the same files twice so it was automatically named seq-1(1).jp2 Could the extra brackets in the file name cause such problems?
