There are many threads dealing with this problem, the majority of which have solutions. There is even an application in the repository that lets you configure the thumbnailer daemon.

Note: press the enter key after typing "ash", then type the next line.

This will replace that application with a script that does nothing.

Seems to me people like to start new threads about old topics that have been covered to death - that qualifies as 'not reading properly at all' by your definition too.
