Slackware64 14.2 Thunar won't remove SAMSUNG Android device after umount?
by bamunds from LinuxQuestions.org on (#50W6J)
Just got a refurbished Samsung G630 (Android 5.1.1). When plugged in to the USB 2.0 port on my PC, it shows up on Thunar, as two devices SAMSUNG ANDROID and mtp. I'm able to navigate and pull files However, when I tell Thunar to unmount the mtp it does and leaves the SAMSUNG ANDROID device icon. Then if right clicking on the SAMSUNG Android device I get message "Couldn't find matching udev devce." Then if the phone is plugged in, again it will create a duplicate SAMSUNG Android and new mtp, again leaving a SAMSUNG Android device icon after umount the mtp. This happens over and over again, until my Thunar side panel is full from top of screen to bottom with Samsung Android devices. Logout and back in does not clear the issue, a full reboot is required.
Thinking it was a quirk of Thunar I also tried this with PCmanFM and get the same results. So it appears to be a basic issue with my setup.
I wonder if it is a udev rule that needs more modification?
I also notice that recently I lost trash can on my second hard drive (NTFS partition), although the / level has a both a .Trash and .Trash-1000 file with 777 and root:root. I have gvfs and FUSE both loading.
Any suggestions are helpful. I've been googling all day and have not yet found a solution. So obviously my googling skills are poor. :-)
Cheers
