It turns out that my fstab contained /media/cdrom as a mountpoint, even though it is a soft-link... and it tried to umount according to it, so it failed. I got another message as well:
There was an error ejecting the volume or drive. org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: eject: tried to use `/media/cdrom0' as device name but it is no block device eject: tried to use `/media/cdrom0' as device name but it is no block device eject: unable to find or open device for: `/media/cdrom' adding a 0 to the mountpoint in fstab did the trick, but gnome-mount should be able to handle these soft-links, just like command line mount does. Can you change the priority to wishist? -- "DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending" on CD eject attempt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/366076 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
