Yes it does. The be exact it does it in the first session after booting. If you log out and in again, nautilus is being restarted but it doesn't try to mount the floppy anymore. (as already mentioned in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/586873) I have added some logging to prove my claim. See the attached patch file. Here is what it writes to syslog in the first startup after booting: May 31 15:13:23 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: entering automount_all_volumes May 31 15:13:23 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: volume name: 'floppy0' May 31 15:13:23 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: calling g_volume_mount May 31 15:13:23 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: exiting automount_all_volumes After logging out and in again it works correctly: May 31 15:10:39 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: entering automount_all_volumes May 31 15:10:39 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: exiting automount_all_volumes May 31 15:11:53 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: entering volume_added_callback May 31 15:11:53 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: volume name: 'floppy0' May 31 15:11:53 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: calling nautilus_file_operations_mount_volume May 31 15:11:53 geuder-t40-u nautilus: *** UGe: exiting volume_added_callback ** Patch added: "a patch file with some logging (does not contain any solution)" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/49434240/UGe-logging.patch -- Attempts to mount floppy despite no media present - disable automount https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/539515 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
