I'm experiencing a fairly major problem where everything running under Cinnamon freezes when unmounting USB storage devices. I'm not sure exactly which Cinnamon component is responsible, so I'm just filing this bug under Cinnamon.\r\n\r\nI've been seeing this bug fairly consistently, although it doesn't occur every time. When unmounting a USB storage device with the Nemo eject icon, the entire interface often stops responding with the exception of the mouse. The Cinnamon panel, start menu, window controls, and the the applications themselves all stop responding, and the system tray icons appear as black squares. This gives the impression that the entire system has locked up and would probably make most users hard-reset the computer. I wait around for about 15 or 20 seconds, and everything comes back to life. The recovery of the system seems to correspond with me physically unplugging the USB device. Again, this doesn't happen every time, but it does happen consistently more than 50% of the time.\r\n\r\nI have seen this happen with different USB thumbdrives, my SD card reader, and Android devices mounted as USB mass storage devices, all of which I believe are formatted FAT32.\r\n\r\nI would classify this a serious bug, since it gives the appearance that the entire system is irrecoverably frozen.\r\n\r\nThanks for looking into this!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/comments/77933613","html_url":"https://github.com/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/3864#issuecomment-77933613","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/linuxmint/Cinnamon/issues/3864","id":77933613,"user":{"login":"sb56637","id":2692138,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2692138?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637","html_url":"https://github.com/sb56637","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/sb56637/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-03-09T20:20:26Z","updated_at":"2015-03-09T20:20:26Z","body":"I now think this bug is Nemo related. I even had it happen when opening files from a local folder on my desktop. Should I re-create this bug under the Nemo sub-project?\r\n\r\nIn any case, the entire Cinnamon interface freezes and the background of the system tray items turns black like this:\r\n![screenshot from 2015-01-30 21 52 59](https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/2692138/6563489/7f7d8a8e-c66f-11e4-9560-9287fbf58888.png)\r\nAdditionally, when this bug occurs, it sometimes loses the desktop wallpaper selection, which turns black, and forces me to re-select my wallpaper."}}
