It looks like installing udisks-2 to SLOT 2 would mean installing into a new slot. I don't think that will fix the behavior I described below. I think I need to upgrade one of the currently installed udisks slots to udisks-2. Is that correct, or am I misunderstanding and I should just follow your instructions? - Grant >>> I'm having a problem detaching a USB camera from a desktop.
