I have seen the same behavior under F27 and F28 using Xfce and USB drives (the desktop freezes until the drive gets ejected--a manual umount as root from the CLI completes immediately). I don't believe it to be a filesystem or hardware issue--it seems to be something with the desktop and file manager. I had intended to test it with KDE on the same platform but haven't had a chance to get to it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - Rick Stevens, Systems Engineer, AllDigital ricks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx - - AIM/Skype: therps2 ICQ: 22643734 Yahoo: origrps2 - - - - The trouble with troubleshooting is that trouble sometimes - - shoots back. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
