I'm having a problem detaching a USB camera from a desktop. I found a Ubuntu bug for the problem which states that it is a bug in udisks-1 which won't be fixed upstream and the solution is to upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 which uses udisks-2. Can anyone recommend a good course of action for me here?
Here is the problem: # udisks --detach /dev/sdb Detach failed: Error detaching: helper exited with exit code 1: Detaching device /dev/sdb USB device: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:02.0/usb2/2-6) SYNCHRONIZE CACHE: FAILED: No such file or directory (Continuing despite SYNCHRONIZE CACHE failure.)
