Mint 16 cinnamon - freeze after usb 3.0 external drive mounting

[jack_walker]

Hi,

I have mint 16 x64 with cinnamon and kernel 3.12.6.
When I plug in my external drive Verbatim, nemo opens and mounts the drive, after that the system freezes. So I need to unplug the drive and cinnamon restarts after a "kill by signal 15" I saw in my log file.
Same problem witn default kernel 3.11.

In the past I had ubuntu x64 with kde and same kernel 3.12.6 on the same machine and I had no problems with my external drive.
So maybe it's a mint or cinnamon related problem.

here is my syslog: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HXGfJbEN

Any help?

Thanks

I'm running Mint14 based on 12.10. Do you have ntfs support on your machine?


apropos ntfs

It might look like:

same output for me from
apropos ntfs

I have ntfs support, indeed other usb ntfs drives work fine.
Actually I have another usb 3.0 external drive and I have just plugged it in and it works well my machine, no system freezes.

So now it is strange, I'm pretty sure it can't be a problem concerning the specific Verbatim external drive because it used to work with ubuntu and kde (same kernel 3.12.6) and it also works well in windows 7/8.

So now I'm confused ](*,)

edit: I have just discovered that my Verbatim drive that causes the freeze works on my laptop with same software: mint 16, cinnamon and kernel 3.12.6.
So could the issue be related to mint or cinnamon and my hardware configuration?
I have:



motherboard ASUS P8P67 PRO
cpu Intel® Core™ i5-2500 Processor
my OS is running on a Crucial SSD M4


I have just read again the syslog and maybe the problem is about the .Trash-1000 folder content, it seems that the errors occur when trying to read some data from that folder.

what do you thing?
