So, after the very detailed and informativ comments of John Dong, there seems not to be a solution until Feisty+X. (Give X any number)
"As a result, it's gonna take some time to find the optimal solution and implement it. Confirming the bug and/or lecturing on the seriousness of this bug any more will just generate more launchpad mail and not add any productiveness." Well, I really do understand that position. I guess that it is anoying to re-re-read all those allready confirmed bugreports. But I don't understand, what you have written here: "There is not enough information being reported back via this new route to determine when an unmount operation is completely done... just whether or not it was successfully initiated." So there are not enough informations, right? Question: Is Kubuntu the only KDE-based-distribution, that has this USB-"data loss" problem? How do other KDE-distros handle that problem. Or is this a Kubuntu special*feature* ;-). I hope, this posting will not be misunsterstood as a *flame-posting*,or so. If I'd be able to hack this bug, I'd have done it long time ago (but I ehmm am to stupid for that:-D). -- [Edgy Data Loss] umount progress dialog missing https://launchpad.net/bugs/61946 -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
