Public bug reported: 1) The release of Ubuntu you are using, via 'lsb_release -rd' or System -> About Ubuntu
ubuntu 14.04 LTS 2) The version of the package you are using, via 'apt-cache policy pkgname' or by checking in Software Center gnome-disk-utility:i386 3.10.0-1ubuntu3 3) What you expected to happen When I had "safely removed" the disk, the disk would not appear in the utility again until I had connected it again. 4) What happened instead Yesterday I looked at the external disk in gnome-disk-utility 3.10.0. When I finished, I clicked the "power off" icon. That caused: 1. The partitions of that disk to disappear; 2. The disk to appear a second time in the list within gnome-disk-utility, with all its original partitions; and 3. The "Ubuntu has experienced an error" application to start. I right-clicked on the disk in the Launcher, selected "Save removal", and it worked. I plugged the disk's USB cable in again, and it mounted as normal. I then repeated exactly the steps above, except I might not have got the "Ubuntu has experienced an error" message. I did it all a third time. I then left the computer for about 10 hours. I just started using the computer again 30 minutes ago. The external USB disk does not appear in the Launcher. I started gnome-disk-utility to look at an internal disk, and the external USB disk still appears in gnome-disk-utility despite the fact that it is not connected. It is the dodgy version of the disk that appears (per step 2 above), with no partitions and only the text "No Media" where the partition descriptions would be - see screenshot http://imgur.com/XsZ3Oic ** Affects: gnome-disk-utility (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot from 2014-12-13 07:22:27 This disk is not connected.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402071/+attachment/4279915/+files/Screenshot%20from%202014-12-13%2007%3A22%3A27%20This%20disk%20is%20not%20connected.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1402071 Title: External USB disk appears but it is no longer connected To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+bug/1402071/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
