Tested the above patch in an up-to-date (as of today) Hardy install. I
no longer get an error message when right-click-Safely-Removing, and the
device unmounts, but it does not eject. This is with an ipod. Also,
kdeeject device does nothing from the command line or from amarok -
not even
After removing the line mentioned by Tom from file
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules, this is fixed. It is surprising
why this small fix is still not applied, given that it happens everytime
a removable disk is removed.

Whilst Tom's work-around may work, it goes against the Hardy hardware
detection scheme specified in
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/Specs/HardyHardwareDetection, one
of the aims of which is to drop the plugdev and scanner groups. IMHO
the Proper solution is the second one proposed by

I went back and removed the files /etc/udev/rules.d/51-local.rules, and
commented the line in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules, so when the
package is updates (hopefully fixing this) it will be overwritten.
It also worked, but using both methods the error keeps appearing when umounting
Just tested the udev fix from the gentoo forums. Worked perfectly on
Kubuntu 8.04.

Maybe it's not a bug, but a feature after all. Like someone's idea of
making the system more secure or cleaning up device permissions.

This is a bug. There are several ways to workaround it:
The first is set plugdev group to removable disks instead of disk:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-4195064.html?sid=813dffeae093c39fde2ad38c21d4af12#4195064
The second is to patch /usr/bin/kdeeject to be able to eject items via
HAL
Looking at a Gutsy system I found what has changed. On gutsy udev would
assign group rights of plugdev to USB portable storage, and Hardy is
assigning disk.
It looks like the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules is
the culprit:
ATTRS{type}==0, GROUP=disk
To make explicit a caveat for mfabry's workaround (adding your user to
group disk): I believe this will give you write access to all _non_
removable disks, i.e. your hard drive. On a single-user machine you
may be willing to accept this, but it is pretty undesirable.

This is still an issue for the official release of hardy. Adding the
users to the disk group does stop the error, but this feels like a work
around.
The safely remove option worked fine in Feisty and Gutsy without
having users in the disk group. Also If I remember correctly it worked
fine on
Possible solution!! Add your users to the disk group. It looks like udev
bug (change of permissions on some devices).

Bugs,
I've got exactly the same problem on Hardy. It has probably something to
do with permission rights. I can manually eject my usb stick with sudo
(from console), but I cannot do the same without it. To unmount the
device however I don't need sudo. My guess is one of the recent upgrades
was messed
I can confirm this behaviour in Hardy Heron Beta with current updates
(2008-04-20) on two different machines (HP NX7300 laptop + custom built
desktop).

Is it possible that this problem could be that the wrong command is
being sent to the kio_media_mounthelper? If I enter the command
'kio_media_mounthelper -u media:/sdd1', the device is unmounted without
any errors. If I use the command 'kio_media_mounthelper -s media:/sdd1'
the device is
