Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase
Using "safely remove" on a usb memory stick causes the desktop icon to disappear immediately, without waiting for any cached writes to complete. I have observed this behaviour in both edgy and dapper with kde-355, with two different memory sticks. kde-353 used to show a progress bar while flushing the cached writes. This was still less than ideal because the progress bar stuck at 0% then jumped to 100% once writing was complete, but at least you knew when it was safe to remove the device. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- "safely remove" isnt safe https://launchpad.net/bugs/70417 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
