[Bug 1530873] [NEW] the unity-fallback-mount-helper keeps attempting to connect to and android phone, producing more and error informations windows and gradually eat more and more ram

 

Public bug reported:

The process unity-settings-deamon/unity-fallback-mount-helper  does not
always fail instantly, but sometimes first after that the phone(android
Oneplus One) is plugged to the computer(lenovo z710 ubuntu 15.10 64 bit,
unity  7.3.2+15.10.20151016-0ubuntu1).

However when it fails it seams to be trapped in a never ending loop:
trying to mount the phone → failing → producing a new error information
windows →  repeat. New errors is reported at a frequency between  ~0.5 s
to 10 s.   The unity-fallback-mount-helper slowly eats more and more
memory as the window count rises. But the main issue is the random and
visual disturbances caused by the never ending appearance of new info
windows.
