It's what happens on UNmounting/ejecting etc that appears broken - regardless of what device is plugged in, device notifier won't let me unplug it/gives me the warning. Again, I can manually unmount (umount) every time, as a user.
Here that happens too, but I didn't go far to find out what is the problem. Closing Dolphin when looking something on external drive creates problem, but when you open Dolphin again go into external drive, go out and then close Dolphin, all works as expected. To me it appears as a communication problem with KDE applications. System knows that nobody is using the drive so console 'umount' works fine, it is just that Device Notifier can't see that resource is released if Dolphin is close while using the resource.
I'm assuming that if Beagle or any other process is using the drive, either fuser or lsof (or both) should pick that up, but they always show nothing using the device...
I couldn't see anything with lsof. I'm not familiar with that utility, but on the other hand it confirms that system doesn't see the problem, and that problem is desktop internal communication.
What is the device notifier process/package? would it be possible to uninstall/reinstall (without millions of dependancies... :-( ) Hardware works fine in Windows....
Right now it is probably the best to see for newer KDE version 4.3.3 for instance that may have this fixed. -- Regards Rajko, openSUSE Wiki Team: http://en.opensuse.org/Wiki_Team People of openSUSE: http://en.opensuse.org/People_of_openSUSE/About -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
