** Description changed: Binary package hint: hal Installed Jaunty yesterday. AMD 64 dual core. Experienced several freezes with applications attempting file dialogs. This morning, found one cause. An application had finished an operation on a USB mass storage device, which I then removed from the system. Subsequent attempts with other applications to use file dialogs caused applications to freeze. System Monitor showed that hald was occupying - virtually 100% of the CPU on one core. Use of the other core allowed - other applications and the desktop to continue limited operation. + virtually 100% of the CPU on one core. + + Monitor shows many dozen instances of + + hal-storage-unmount Sleeping .... 884.0 KiB flock_lock_file_wait + + Use of the other core allowed other applications and the desktop to + continue limited operation.

Nautilus may be involved. (ver 2.26.2) - on restarting Nautilus, the USB device mount points were visible in the navigation bar with "Unmount" as a right-click option. Attempting to unmount these gave an error dialog "Unable to mount..." with the message: "DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken."
