I am able to reproduce this using Xubuntu 8.04.01 and Thunar 0.9.0-4ubuntu2 on
a new installation with no added programs
Steps to produce the problem:
1. insert floppy disk in drive;
2. click on Places -> Floppy Drive (Floppy Drive is greyed out at this time)
3. Thunar opens at /media/floppy0 and shows view of floppy disk files and
directories
a. right-click on Floppy Drive shortcut shows "Mount Volume" and "Eject
Volume"
b. files and directories open as expected if clicked at this point
4. right-click on Floppy Drive, left-click "Mount Volume"
a. greys out as expected
b. no errors
c. /media/.hal-mtab is empty
d. /etc/mtab shows entry:
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 vfat ro,nosuid,nodev,utf8,user=charlie 0 0
5. right-click on Floppy Drive shortcut, left-click on "Eject Volume"
a. gui error box opens:
Failed to eject "Floppy Drive".
eject unable to eject. last error: Invalid argument
b. left click Floppy Drive shortcut, "Mount Volume" is greyed out, "Eject
Volume" is still active
c. Floppy Drive appears to have unmounted; /etc/mtab no longer has the
floppy drive listed
d. To be able to mount/unmount the floppy drive again using Thunar, I
have to log out of the desktop and log in again
e. I am able to mount/unmount the floppy disk using terminal
I can reproduce this any time with the same results.
Expected results: Thunar should allow mount/unmount of the floppy disk;
if "Eject Volume" is used to unmount, perhaps the wording should be
changed to "Unmount Volume". Eject means the floppy disk should eject
from the drive.
** Changed in: thunar-volman (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
