Looks to me like UTF-8 in a volume name trips things up. iPods get named things like "Steve's iPod" by default, where the apostrophe is somewhere up in Unicode space. I got a three-number \nnn\nnn\nnn sequence in .hal-mtab in place of the apostrophe, and saw this problem. When I wiped .hal-mtab, rebooted (maybe unnecessary, I'm new to Ubuntu and didn't know how to restart gnome-volume-manager) and renamed the iPod (using a Mac) to an all-ASCII name this problem went away for me.
Check the encoding and decoding of the mountpoint pathname in .hal-mtab. -- (feisty) unmounting a device icon on desktop gives an error dialog https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/95368 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
