Okay I can put these in the howto for now. > I tried "karma_helper -l" before unplugging, without being really sure what > its purpose was, first as a regular user, and was promptly informed I didn't > have appropriate permissions.

Or you can just unplug it (though do be sure you unmount the disk first). > Also, the Karma only seems to be detected about 1/3 to 1/2 of the time as a > /dev/sda type device. Yeah, it's the timeout issue. I did submit a fix for this upstream yesterday, and right now I'm working on getting Keith's eject patch together which I'll also submit with his blessing. That will address your other concern if it gets picked up. -- Bob Copeland %% www.bobcopeland.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
