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) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Trying to eject live CD produces two awful error alerts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/365203 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
