Public bug reported:
Since I upgraded Xubuntu from 17.10 to 18.04, I have consistently
experienced USB drive eject failures after requesting an eject. Here is
the sequence:
1. Plug in my WD Elements USB drive.
2. I see the automount pop-up message and, yes, the contents are available for
all access.
3. I use `grsync` version 1.2.6-1 to backup whatever needs to be backed up.
4. When completed, and I should not need to do this, in a terminal window, I
execute `sync; sync; sync`.
5. With thunar, I click on the little triangle for the device which requests an
eject.
6. I immediately see the "Writing data to device" pop-up message.
7. I wait 5 minutes. It is still there. I should see it replaced with "It's
safe to remove ..." pop-up message.
8. My drive, while still plugged in, tells me that it is idle and in good state
(periodic slow blinking white light).
9. Roughly, 30 minutes later, I see a new pop-up message: "Failed to eject ...
Timeout was reached". The "Writing data to device" pop-up message is still
there as well.
10. The "Failed to ..." pop-up message repeats again after a few more minutes.
11. Finally, I see another pop-up message: "Sorry, Ubuntu 18.04 has experienced
an internal error" showing /usr/bin/thunar as the executable path, "crashed
with SIGSEGV".
My drive, while still plugged in, continues to tell me that it is still
idle and in good state.
