Here's a more specific account of this problem: External, USB, encrypted, windows disk.
Click on disk in Thunar device list. Thunar throws a password window up. <Cancel> the action. Thunar closes the Window but retains the process. Thunar keeps the device busy in the Device list: its rotating icon still rotates, like it's waiting for something to happen. The Thunar process meanwhile takes about 11 per cent of CPU per Thunar window. i.e. with four windows open, Thunar will take 43 per cent of cpu resources. The xfce4-panel 'places' drop-down does not exhibit the same problems while this is happening with Thunar. So from here, if you click on the icon again, the same thing happens: Thunar throws the password window up, but it you don't put the password in it keeps hogging. Right-clicking gives you the options only to open or mount. Opening the window again at this point does not recreate the problem (unless you click on the disk and cancel the password action again). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1223848 Title: Thunar hogging processor after problem mounting external drive To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/thunar/+bug/1223848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
