Hi all, I have just spent many hours trawling the many, many ubuntu bugs about usb disks. Looks like this has been a serious regression in hardy. This bug best describes my problems, so I am putting info here in the hope that it will actually be looked at and resolved. This is a bug for a LTS release, so I'm hoping it will not simply be ignored once intrepid comes out.
Hardy x86_64. Was a fresh install a few months ago. Home directory was carried over from previous versions, so various gnome dot files were not generated anew. (This is because my home directory lives on a network.) Symptoms: - after fresh login, insert usb disk. Icon appears in "Computer" window, under "places" menu. Disk does *not* automount. No errors in dmesg. - Double-click on icon, disk mounts, new window opens with disk contents. All good. - Unmount disk in computer window (right click-> unmount). Disk icon remains in window. - remove disk, wait, insert disk again. Try mounting again in "Computer" window. get message: "Can't mount file". - this will continue to happen until I logout or reboot. - despite this, doing "gnome-mount -v -n -d /dev/sdc1" on command-line makes new icon in "Computer" window and mounts the disk as /media/disk - can unmount /media/disk using mouse from "Computer" window. New icon disappears. Old icon remains. - can do the mount/unmount from command-line as many times as I like. fsck check on usb disk looks good. following: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingRemovableDevices Files attached. They are for pretty much the sequence above. ** Attachment added: "gvm.log" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/17884630/gvm.log -- USB automount lost on hardy upgrade https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/267151 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
