Mythbuntu doesn't include necessary pmount package

[Will Dormann]

MythArchive uses the "pumount" command, which is part of the pmount package. Mythbuntu 12.04 doesn't include pmount.

Help others who might be searching for this issue by adding a little detail to the bug description:

When create DVD (Optical Disks / Archive Files / Create DVD), see in the log near the end of the burn process messages

/dev/dvd: flushing cache
/dev/dvd: updating RMA
/dev/dvd: closing disc
/dev/dvd: reloading tray
sh: 1: pumount: not found
Waiting for drive

Failed to eject the disc!
Finished burning ISO image
Removing all archive items from the archiveitems DB table
Finished processing jobs!!!

The "pumount: not found" is because package 'pmount' is not included in the Mythbuntu 12.04 distribution. The workaround is

sudo apt-get install pmount

Note that (at least in my case) even with pmount installed the disc does eject - likely because the call should be to 'eject'. See http://code.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/10535

We really do appreciate you opening this ticket to help improve Mythbuntu, but it needs to be closed for a number of reasons. The biggest one is that upstream has moved on to a new version and believes this to be fixed. Could you please verify if this issue still exists in the latest version?

Please do not let the closing of this ticket dissuade you from opening a new ticket if this (or any other) problem occurs with the newer versions.

Re-opening:

$ grep pumount mythburn.py
            runCommand("pumount " + quoteCmdArg(dvddrivepath))

$ pumount
The program 'pumount' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install pmount
