Just to correct some misunderstandings here: These bubbles appear when you are unmounting a device. If that takes a bit, because the write cache still needs to be written back to it, you first get a notification which says "please do not remove...", and once the cache is flushed and unmounting is complete, you get a new notification "device is now safe to remove".
This is one case where a fixed notification time just doesn't work (I also brought that up very early when I complained about not providing any method of overriding the time). What do you mean with "proper alert box"? There shouldn't ever be a dialog box which the user has to act on, since the situation will just resolve itself. If the user has to click away two dialog boxes each time he unmounts a device, he will rightfully go crazy.. -- "Writing data to device" appears as fallback alert https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/332600 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Notify OSD Developers, which is subscribed to Notify OSD. Status in Canonical's Notification Display Agent: Won't Fix Status in “gnome-mount” source package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “indicator-applet” source package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: gnome-mount 0.8-1ubuntu1, Ubuntu Jaunty When a removable storage device is disconnected or removed without first being unmounted, gnome-mount puts up a "Writing data to device" notification that asks you not to do what you've already done. Because it is persistent, Notify OSD renders this notification as a suboptimal fallback alert box. Instead, gnome-mount should use a proper error alert box with less futile text. It may save time to fix bug 325315 at the same time as this bug. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NotifyOSD#gnome-mount> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
