file explorer constantly lock up when mount point cannot be found
by hedron from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6EX5X)
Anytime I switch networks, when I open a file dialog to open a file or save, whatever application I'm using locks up indefinitely. I believe it is caused by the file dialog/window not being able to open the mount point that no longer exists.
Even if I umount /directory the file dialog still thinks it's there because it's in memory from the last time I opened it.
I can only surmise that this is a hardcoded bug and I'm wondering how to submit this for review. I suppose it's possible there is some switch or setting inside the kernel that addresses this problem?
Ok, so I try 'sudo umount /directory' the terminal locks up. CTRL+C doesn't force quit, and return sends the cursor to a new line.
