https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/29767

Description:
<!-- Don't request update of package. We have a script for that. https://alpha.de.repo.voidlinux.org/void-updates/void-updates.txt . However, a quality pull request may help. -->
### System

* xuname:  
  *output of ``xuname`` (part of xtools)*
* package:  nautilus-3.38.2_1
  *affected package(s) including the version*: ``xbps-query -p pkgver <pkgname>``

### Expected behavior
Thumbnails show up.


### Actual behavior
Thumbnails do not show up. `~/.cache/thumbnails/fail` is the only directory I see.

### Steps to reproduce the behavior
Fresh-install
/home directory transferred, cleaned up .config file, came from void, gentoo, and back on void. First time every using GNOME.

Bad solution: Install `dolphin`, view the directory with images. And it gets generated. I do not want to do this.

Comment:
**Temporary fix:** `touch /etc/ld.so.cache`
There is a more permanent fix by modifying the bubblewrap source code and changing the cache. Could we do something about this?

Now it works as expected on Musl! This issue is not present with glibc

Comment:
So what you're saying is:

- nautilus creates thumbnails by launching a program inside a bubblewrap sandbox
- bubblewrap fails because it can't make the glibc specific file `/etc/ld.so.cache` available inside the sandbox
- you don't get thumbnails

This is hilarious, but it should also be a simple fix.

haha, yep, pretty crazy. Although I bet a patch instead of just adding the file would be cleaner.

Oh, I meant that creating a patch shouldn't be too hard :)

Thanks for the investigation, though :D

Comment:
@nek0bit as a warning, see the commit message:

> Users will have to remove the "failed generation" cache from ~/.cache/thumbnails/fail/ for nautilus to reattempt thumbnail generation of previously visited directories.
