Public bug reported:
NOTE: I think this is probably so low priority it may never make sense
to fix, but I wanted to document it in case others are stumbling across
this and to ensure a web search leads those users somewhere.
Expected behavior: Nemo to open with a USB device connected.
# Actual Behavior
When a specific low-quality, proprietary tablet device is connected to
my computer, Nemo rarely opens. Nemo usually times out, but it
occasionally opens after a multi-minute delay. Also, disconnecting the
low-quality hardware resolves the issue. I'm guessing that Nemo is
blocked attempting to fetch the "friendly device name" in the logs
below.
# Logs
Doing my best to identify some logging, I typically see these symptoms:
when attempting to launch Nemo from the terminal: `Could not register
Nemo as a remote: Timeout was reached`
in Syslog:
```
