Public bug reported: Binary package hint: vlc
i have a harddisk, that is only used for backups and is unmounted and spun off most of the time. sometime when i launch vlc (normally through opening a file in nautilus) the drive spins up. the drive is attached via sata (ahci mode) as /dev/sdb, has no partition table (whole drive is a LUKS-device) and is unmounted when the problem arises. nothing useful in the logs and i was not able to produce any useful traces etc. due to the infrequence of the problem, ideas are welcome. the same(?) problem was reported a while ago for macos in the official forums: http://forum.videolan.org/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=62462 i'm using ubuntu 10.04 64b. ** Affects: vlc (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- vlc sometimes wakes sleeping harddisks https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/681933 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
