nautilus no thumbnails for .jpg and .png

Pictures in /Pictures/boh are a fresh copy of some (same names) in /Pictures. The old ones have a visible thumbnail, the new ones have a bad thumbnail.
Also the old files in /Pictures have a good thumbnail while the new ones have a bad thumbnail.

I deleted /home/.cache/thumbnails now ALL pictures have an bad thumbnail.

my /home/Pictures/boh as view from another partition running xenial

Same problem on another zesty installed on same PC different partition

corrado@corrado-HP-zesty:~$

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

I can confirm this bug. Tiff is OK for me too.

This may not be a nautilus bug.
It seems the bug persists even if I upgrade nautilus from the Gnome Staging PPA to either newer one:
3.22.2
3.23.90

Also thumbnails for .pdf are ok and for video .webm e .mp4

Still having the problem with a new install from last daily: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20170224)

BUT
Same hardware, installed on a different partition from an old daily: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
Dash is filled correctly - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1661697
.local/share/zeitgeist is NOT empty. Zeitgeist starts ok
Thumbnails created correctly

I don't had the problem with an old install from: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
so I'm trying to give some more info.

I started with:

Ubuntu installed from: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
NEVER updated:
corrado@corrado-z-nov16:~$ uname -a
Linux corrado-z-nov16 4.10.0-8-generic #10-Ubuntu SMP Mon Feb 13 14:04:59 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
corrado@corrado-z-nov16:~$

attached: BeforeUpdates: log .cache .config .local inxi screenshot
thumbnails where created ok - see screenshot

Then I Run apt-get update + upgrade

attached: After1stUpdate: installer Pictures .cache .config .gconf .local varous logs
thumbnails created wrong. see last 2 thumbnails

I restarted, but ubuntu started in low graphic mode. Restarted in emergency mode. Run update + upgrade + dist-upgrade. attached: 2ndUpgrade: varoius logs.

Restart again. now all seems ok BUT thumbnails are wrong.
attached: AfterLastUpgrade: a lot of data. thumbnails wrong for .jpg and .png. Good thumbnail for .tiff

I still have a copy of the old iso: Ubuntu 17.04 "Zesty Zapus" - Alpha amd64 (20161106)
so I may reistall it and produce more doc.
Let my know if You need.
bye

New thumbnails work if I downgrade gnome-desktop3 to 3.22.2.

should i run ubuntu-bug libgdk-pixbuf ? or something like?

corrado, thanks for your help.

I've already identified the problem (2 files weren't being installed by gdk-pixbuf) and I'm coordinating the fix with Debian.

Yes, the bug fix is identified but not in Ubuntu 17.04 yet. I have been trying but I don't have direct upload rights for this package.

This bug is fixed in Debian's svn repository. It is in the new queue for Debian experimental.

Also file.nef are ok ( i think because works through raw-thambnailer)

file.nrw no working ( it is a raw nikon's format never worked on previous distro ...still not working)

No way to show .png jpg jpeg gif

This bug was fixed in the package gdk-pixbuf - 2.36.5-3

---------------
gdk-pixbuf (2.36.5-3) experimental; urgency=medium

  [ Jeremy Bicha ]
  * Add new libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin package to install thumbnailer
    binary and metadata needed by gnome-desktop 3.23 (LP: #1665602)
  * Have libgdk-pibxuf2.0-0 recommend libgdk-pixbuf2.0-bin
  * debian/rules: Change dh_install's --list-missing to --fail-missing to
    catch this issue sooner next time

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * debian/rules: Don't use -X.la - it's error prone as it does substring
    matching instead of globbing. Instead use `find ... -delete' to remove
    *.la files explicitly.
  * debian/control.*: Update Vcs-* for branch.

This is still not working for me with SVGs.

Nick, please file a new bug. You can run

ubuntu-bug libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0

Nick, that issue should be fixed now with this update:

https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/librsvg/2.40.16-2~svn1

After updating, log out and log back in. If things work, there is no need to file a bug for this issue now.
