Question about removing external hard drive on mint 19.X & 20.X

Post by pauljames77 »

- The "X can be safely be unplugged - Device can be removed" notification window does not appear when you safely remove an external hard drive at exactly the: 00 second of any minute of any hour. e.g: 23:45:00

- Why does this happen?

Are you saying this happens in both Linux Mint 19.x and 20.x? Which version specifically. Which desktop environment.

Can you reproduce it while booted from the Linux Mint ISO?

Can anybody else reproduce this on the same?

- It happens on mint 19.X and mint 20.X installations.

- It happens on the cinnamon DE.

- I have not seen it happen while booted from the linux mint 19.X, or 20.X ISO.
