Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-mount
Ubuntu 9.04 release candidate
1. On a computer where the CD drive has a hardware eject button, start an
Ubuntu session from the live CD.
2. Press the hardware eject button.
3. Wait 24 seconds.
What happens:
2. An error alert appears with an utterly unhelpful message:
Cannot eject volume
There was an error ejecting the volume or drive.
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure:
Cannot open /media/.hal-mtab
3. Another unhelpful error alert appears on top of the first one:
Unable to eject CD-RW/DVD±RW Drive
DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply.
Possible causes include: the remote aplication did not send a reply, the
message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or
the network connection was broken.
What should happen:
2. An alert should appear that explains the problem in plain language, and
explains how you can eject the CD. For example: "This CD cannot be ejected
because Ubuntu is running from it. To eject the CD, restart the computer."
3. No other error alert should appear.
<http://library.gnome.org/devel/hig-book/stable/language-
errors.html.en>: "A good warning or error message contains two elements:
1. A brief description of the problem. 2. A list of ways the user can
remedy the problem. Both of these elements should be presented in non-
technical, jargon-free language, unless your target audience is
particularly technically-minded."
** Affects: gnome-mount (Ubuntu)
