Description Aleksandar Kostadinov 2017-07-23 19:46:47 UTC

Description of problem:
When ejecting USB storage, thunar's window freezes for some time. It can be moved around but you can't interact with it. It recovers after half a minute or something.

If I do `sudo eject /dev/sdd` in terminal the operation is performed immediately.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Thunar 1.6.12 vs XFCE

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mount USB drive
2. umount/eject from thunar

Actual results:
you need to wait a minute until you can use thunar

Expected results:
umount immediately

Additional info:
I tried on 2 computers that I just upgraded from fedora 24 to fedora 26. I followed all necessary steps to remove any outdated packages and everything else appears to be working fine.

Moreover no such issues I've seen with Fedora 24. Everything worked instantaneously there.

Or is this gvfs related?

Comment 2 Aleksandar Kostadinov 2017-07-23 19:56:43 UTC

I think this is a plain thunar-volman issue. When I umount a USB drive I see in xsession-errors:

> thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type "usb".
> thunar-volman: Unsupported USB device type "usb-storage".
> thunar-volman: Unknown block device type "disk"


P.S. When I do `gio mount -e /run/media/avalon/E822-1FC9/` the device is ejected instantaneously.

Found this bug already reported in bug 1469789

Also upstream bug https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13729

I had this problem, caused by bug 484945.

KDE Plasma and Xfce have dbus services with the same name, and Fedora prevents one of them from launching.

In my case the xfce4-notifyd service was not running, and that was preventing disk umounting and mouse-wheel speaker volume changes (both of these events want to send a notification, and fail).

You can test if a notify service is running with the command:
notify-send hello
which should result in a small popup with the text, "hello" if it is running.

Renaming the service name in /usr/share/dbus-1/services/org.kde.plasma.Notifications.service or just deleting that file altogether fixed it for me after a reboot, or manually invoking the service.
