Thanks for that - I had not heard of devkit-disks before so did not even know it was on my system. The gnome-disk-utility (palimpsest) works fine on Kubuntu as well (and can be found searching on palimpsest using synaptic even if it can't in the default, useless package manager - another gripe well and truly covered by others elsewhere!) Nice to find there is a working alternative to sdparm though, for those who quake at the idea of installing gnome things under kde.
Considering that devkit-disks is, as you say, tightly integrated and installed by default I wonder why it is not apparently called when trying to remove a removable hard drive? Maybe this bug should be changed to something like 'eject removable hard drive does not use devkit-disks' Thanks for the enlightenment! -- WD external drives need to be spun down, "sdparm --command=stop" doesn't work any more https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117713 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
