Two ideas: (1) Is there any way to implement a "reconnect device" option, as suggested in comment #7 some months ago?
While less than ideal, this would be one way to help people who make this mistake to recover from it themselves. (2) Alternatively, a language change to the context menu, so the item concerned does not say "Safely remove drive", but instead says something closer to "Power down external device" might help, since it then (a) sounds a bit scarier and (b) does not look so similar to the Windows message people are apparently confusing it with. "Won't fix" seems inappropriate to me. If I can't be "fixed" at a deeply technical kernel level, fine, let's come up with a way to minimize the issue at a UI level instead. Not just ignore the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/504440 Title: sd card "safely remove drive" kills reader device -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
