I agree that this is an extremely serious bug, which should be fixed as soon as possible. Ubuntu is supposed to be the user-friendly Linux dist, right? Well, one of the most common things the average user does is attach external USB devices (ie. pen drives and hard drives). If a user gets an error every time they try to eject a device, that's a very obvious, aggravating, negative experience.
I'm actually a Linux power user, but when I was considering switching to Ubuntu, one of the first things I tried on the test CD was whether USB drives were auto-detected and handled easily and transparently. It wasn't quite a deal-breaker, but it was an obvious indicator of how polished the UI was. Sure, I can sudo it on the command line; that's not the point. The point is, I really shouldn't _have_ to. -- do not eject all USB/Firewire devices https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/63090 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
