Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-applets
System Specs:
Ubuntu release: 10.04
gnome-applets version: 2.30.0-0ubuntu2
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Add the Disk Mounter applet to a panel
2. Mount a USB drive to your computer
3. Click the drive on the applet, then select Unmount
EXPECTED RESULTS
4. The drive is unmounted from your system
5. Running ls /media in a terminal confirms that the device is removed from
your system
ACTUAL RESULTS
4. The drive is unmounted from your system
5. Running ls /media in a terminal indicates that the device is in fact still
attached to your system
6. Attempts at removing the drive via sudo through either a terminal or
nautilus results in the return of an error stating "Error removing file: Device
or resource busy"
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I've recently started noticing that when I mount my iriver E100 DMP it is
mounted with an increasing number of underscores in the label. After finding
Bug #101845 Automounted Volumes mount points change I opened /media in a sudo
nautilus window to try to delete the E100 drive and all of the newer instances
I was able to remove all of them with the exception of E100______, this
morning's instance. When I try to delete it I get "Error removing file: Device
or resource busy", even with the device itself is no longer connected to my
computer. When I reconnected my E100 to my system it mounted as /media/E100 so
at least manually deleting the mount points allows me to get back to the proper
identity.
When I unmount the drive via nautilus the mount point is completely
removed, so the issue seems to be in the applet itself.
I believe the problem initially appeared after updating awn-applets-
python-core-trunk to version 0.4.1~bzr1311-1.10.04 from the AWN Testing
Team's PPA, although closing AWN does not allow me to manually remove
E100______ either.
