Public bug reported:

hi

this is something new to me, something in the updates released since the
Ubuntu 8.10 beta, as I was running the 8.10 alpha 6 before that without
this appearing...

I am running Ubuntu 8.10 beta with all updates as of 09:00 South African
time on Saturday 4 oct.

I have 2 ntfs partitions, one 30 gig with Winxp and one 100 giig with
WinXP backups and then Ubuntu is installed in the free space in the 3
section, using a default installation and telling it to install in free
space.

I want to access the backup partition, but have quite a long password
(and yes I was eating a bacon/cheese toasted at the time, so only had
one hand available...) so it took more than a couple seconds to type the
password to mount the drive.

I got a message that reads thus:

<quote>
Unable to mount 100.0 GB Media

DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. 
Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the 
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or 
the network connection was broken.

There was an OK button in the error box which I clicked - I then
continued to type the password and accessed the partition.

I am not sure if this is specifically a timeout issue, but that is how
it appears at first glance - and yes it is repeatable - I just did it
again - this time minus bacon/cheese breakfast :) - but still typing
slowly

cheers
