I also get this in Maverick on a machine with a nvidia chipset, but not on two others with an Intel and an AMD/ATI chipset. The affected machine's lspci includes:
00:02.0 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] OHCI USB 1.1 Controller (rev a1) 00:02.1 USB Controller: nVidia Corporation MCP78S [GeForce 8200] EHCI USB 2.0 Controller (rev a1) The unaffected machines have Intel 82801I (ICH9 Family) and ATI SB700/SB800 respectively. On the affected nvidia-chipset machine I also see this behaviour with external hard drives, not just flash drives. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/624755 Title: to remove a pen drive have to use "safely remove drive " twice -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
