Actually, I think this should be put to the Ubuntu team, instead of the Kubuntu team.
I believe the issue is that in Windows, the USB port is powered down. While in Kubuntu, the disk is only unmounted. The device is not powered down. This means that there is electricity going to the other device. So the problem is not that the lights on USB devices stay on, but that there are no scripts in Linux to power down the USB ports. For hot-pluggable devices, especially USB flash drives, this is not a concern. The devices were designed to be unplugged while powered. As long as they are cleanly unmounted, they will be fine. -- USB memory stick light stays on after "safely remove" (KDE) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/90097 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
