Public bug reported: Description: Ubuntu 8.04.2 Release: 8.04
When I connect my usb-stick, a new icon and a new nautilus windows appeares on the desktop . If I try to disconnect it by context menu, a dialog shows the following error message: "Cannot unmount volume The volume was probably mounted manually on the command line. Details: Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL" Further, I cannot write or delete files on this medium. I tried 3 different usb sticks and an external hard drive. As root, I can write, delete and unmount it (on the command line) When the usb stick gets connected, dmesg says: [1997092.114812] usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 10 [1997092.175835] usb 1-3: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice [1997092.175918] scsi14 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices [1997092.176022] usb-storage: device found at 10 [1997092.176024] usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning [1997094.171372] usb-storage: device scan complete [1997094.171618] scsi 14:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 PMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS [1997094.536599] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] 7936000 512-byte hardware sectors (4063 MB) [1997094.536844] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Write Protect is off [1997094.536848] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [1997094.536849] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through [1997094.537891] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] 7936000 512-byte hardware sectors (4063 MB) [1997094.538141] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Write Protect is off [1997094.538144] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [1997094.538148] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Assuming drive cache: write through [1997094.538152] sde: sde1 [1997094.556716] sd 14:0:0:0: [sde] Attached SCSI removable disk [1997094.556765] sd 14:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg4 type 0 ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Hardy: Error "Device to unmount is not in /media/.hal-mtab so it is not mounted by HAL" when try to unmount an usb-device as normal user https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/350855 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
