Mate19 ERROR: Unable to stop drive Timeout was reached ?

Post by scjet45 »

The below links are just example explanations of this issue that is also in Linux Mint 19 - MATE
You can see the popup error from top image of this link below:
https://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.p ... 474.0.html

"Unable to stop drive
Timeout was reached
"

Using Mint 19 Mate Linux 4.15.0-24-generic
Mate 1.20.1
Caja 1.20.2

It's not a hardware issue, since this happens with Mint19-Mate on both laptop and desktop, nor is it my method of removal, since I have never had these "timeout" issues with Mint (Mate)17, or Mint (Mate)18 before.

It's not just "timeout" issues with external USB drives either.
If I'm downloading to my drive, after about 30 min. I get the "Unable To stop drive...timeout" popup up, even though, after a clean reboot prior,
there were no external drives plugged in?.

So something has changed in Mint 19 Mate and/or caja ...?, and again, i never seen these issues before using Mint Mate in older versions.

Code: Select all

"[b]Unable to stop drive

That isn't necessarily true.

Code: Select all

sudo apt install smartmontools

That isn't necessarily true either, but if you don't wish to eliminate the obvious...
4.15.0-24-generic
Try an earlier kernel, 4.15.0-20-generic for example.

...i think that most likely you are affected by this. Try checking your logs for gvfs-related errors.
If such is the case indeed, this should affect not just Mint and Mate, but other distros & desktops as well.

...See here as well, for Arch & Thunar.
Post #12 contains an unofficial patched binary for Bionic (if you trust such of course).
In any case, it says 'Fix Committed', so Canonical will provide a corrected package anytime soon...

Thx for reply,
I think you're right regarding this being a "gvfs" bug since it affects thunar, ..., as well.

hopefully it'll get fixed soon.
