Mint 16 cinnamon - freeze after usb 3.0 external drive mounting

Hi,

I have mint 16 x64 with cinnamon and kernel 3.12.6. When I plug in my external drive Verbatim, nemo opens and mounts the drive, after that the system freezes. So I need to unplug the drive and cinnamon restarts after a "kill by signal 15" I saw in my log file. Same problem witn default kernel 3.11.

In the past I had ubuntu x64 with kde and same kernel 3.12.6 on the same machine and I had no problems with my external drive. So maybe it's a mint or cinnamon related problem.

here is my syslog: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=HXGfJbEN

Any help?

Thanks

I'm running Mint14 based on 12.10. Do you have ntfs support on your machine?

apropos ntfs

It might look like:

tgalati4@Mint14-Extensa ~ $ apropos ntfs filesystems (5) - Linux file-system types: minix, ext, ext2, ext3, ext4, Reiserfs, XFS, JFS, xia, msdos, umsdos, vfat, ntfs, proc, nfs, iso9660, hpfs... fs (5) - Linux file-system types: minix, ext, ext2, ext3, ext4, Reiserfs, XFS, JFS, xia, msdos, umsdos, vfat, ntfs, proc, nfs, iso9660, hpfs... lowntfs-3g (8) - Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver mkfs.ntfs (8) - create an NTFS file system mkntfs (8) - create an NTFS file system mount.lowntfs-3g (8) - Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver mount.ntfs (8) - Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver mount.ntfs-3g (8) - Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver ntfs-3g (8) - Third Generation Read/Write NTFS Driver ntfs-3g.probe (8) - Probe an NTFS volume mountability ntfs-3g.secaudit (8) - NTFS Security Data Auditing ntfs-3g.usermap (8) - NTFS Building a User Mapping File ntfscat (8) - print NTFS files and streams on the standard output ntfsclone (8) - Efficiently clone, image, restore or rescue an NTFS ntfscluster (8) - identify files in a specified region of an NTFS volume. ntfscmp (8) - compare two NTFS filesystems and tell the differences ntfscp (8) - copy file to an NTFS volume. ntfsfix (8) - fix common errors and force Windows to check NTFS ntfsinfo (8) - dump a file's attributes ntfslabel (8) - display/change the label on an ntfs file system ntfsls (8) - list directory contents on an NTFS filesystem ntfsprogs (8) - tools for doing neat things with NTFS ntfsresize (8) - resize an NTFS filesystem without data loss ntfsundelete (8) - recover a deleted file from an NTFS volume. smbcquotas (1) - Set or get QUOTAs of NTFS 5 shares

same output for me from ``` apropos ntfs

I have ntfs support, indeed other usb ntfs drives work fine.
Actually I have another usb 3.0 external drive and I have just plugged it in and it works well my machine, no system freezes.

So now it is strange, I'm pretty sure it can't be a problem concerning the specific Verbatim external drive because it used to work with ubuntu and kde (same kernel 3.12.6) and it also works well in windows 7/8.

So now I'm confused ](*,)

**edit**: I have just discovered that my Verbatim drive that causes the freeze works on my laptop with same software: mint 16, cinnamon and kernel 3.12.6.
So could the issue be related to mint or cinnamon and my hardware configuration?
I have:

 
[LIST]
[*]motherboard ASUS P8P67 PRO 
[*]cpu Intel® Core™ i5-2500 Processor 
[*]my OS is running on a Crucial SSD M4 
[/LIST]
 
I have just read again the syslog and maybe the problem is about the* .Trash-1000* folder content, it seems that the errors occur when trying to read some data from that folder.

what do you thing?
