I just finished my fresh install of ubuntu 24.04 LTS .

Now i try to copy all my needed data to my new ubuntu .

If i do little by little it's ok BUT , if i do a lot in one time , the system freeze .

I have to restart the computer and re-try with less .

What can i do ?

Edit 1 : I am on a hp pavaillion notebook 17 ; Intel Core i5-5200Ux4 ; 8 gb RAM ; Intel HD Graphics 5500 ( BDW GT12);

By big amount : i would says: maybe 40 GB or maybe 10 GB Copy from my external HDD to the laptop SSD .

I copy the data " graphically" , simply with copy paste .

I came from ubuntu 23 where all works nice .

I am also facing the exact same problem in fresh installation of Kubuntu 24.04. First, I thought that it's a problem with Dolphin as it was reported already at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/dolphin/+bug/2069648. However, even while copying with cp (with -fR flags) from terminal, the entire system freezes. I have around 39000 files to copy (around 40 GB data). It has failed repeatedly. It's for sure is a bug related to some other part (filesystem or something), not just Dolphin file manager alone.

EDIT (MY ISSUE IS SOLVED):

My problem is resolved after deleting all the __pycache__ directories recursively in my Code folder. I got a hint for it from Comment-4 of https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/816198. First, I tested by copying all the other normal folders (like Documents, Downloads, Videos etc) except my 'Code' folder (in which I've multiple programs in Rust, Python etc etc) one by one and confirmed that the copying is happening fine. Then I tried to copy my 'Code' folder which has around hundred or so __pycache__ directories in various sub-folders. Then the system has frozen as it did earlier. Then, I have deleted all the __pycache__ folders recursively with find . -type d -name "__pycache__" -exec rm -rf {} + and then retried copying my 'Code' directory and this time it has worked. Strange. Anyhow, I am posting this here because others may try some other ways based on these hints just as I did from the above link.

Note: To be clear, this is copying data from removable disk to my laptop, not the other way around.
