I'm changing this to "Confirmed" because I can reproduce it easily.
1. Get a disk with SMART reporting imminent failure 2. Start Ubuntu and login 3. You get a huge number of alert boxes complaining about this. Expected Behaviour: We get one alert box warning us of this on each boot similar to the battery warning (when you are told that your battery is known to fail and needs to be replaced). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-disk-utility in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/777452 Title: Huge number of 'Disk Utility' notification windows Status in “gnome-disk-utility” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Binary package hint: notify-osd I have a disk that is about to fail (Disk Utility says so) in the computer and there are two warning windows opened every 20-30 min or so. So if I leave computer unattended there is a HUGE number of the windows opened... This used to work fine before Natty because instead of many new windows there was only one icon in the notification area. The icon is gone now but the warning windows keep popping up. I also tried to find a way to stop the Disk Utility warnings (no luck yet) but one way or another there shouldn't be unlimited number of warning windows open for repeated warnings. The reason I am reporting this a notify-osd bug is because the warning windows belong to /usr/lib/notify-osd/notify-osd (as indicated by xprop _NET_WM_PID): steffl@hangplace:~$ xprop _NET_WM_PID _NET_WM_PID(CARDINAL) = 1998 steffl@hangplace:~$ ps ax|grep 1998 1998 ?
