No, the Konqueror window is closed. > Yeah - it would be nice if the desktop watched the mount status (I'm not > sure how to do that, or even if that is possible) and updated the icon > accordingly. In the KDE Control Center under KDE Components -> Service Manager you find the KDED Mount Watcher. It is even running. The bad part is that in contrast to the other distribution I want to migrate from it doesnt seem to work. > > If I try to eject the media via the desktop icon all I get is an error > > message popping up saying "eject /dev/xxx failed". > > Is this while the media is still mounted? Both. But I checked with lsof and found this interesting line: kdeinit 3800 ronny 12r BLK 22,0 161185 /dev/hdc So, kdeinit is the culprit here. It does not release the device after unmounting. > I don't see this problem on my KDE desktop with Debian, so it is also > possible it is a problem local to your configuration. I use a fresh install of Debian testing and I didnt touch any config file. Because it works with all other distributions I tested it must be a Debian bug. Greetings Ronny
