[quantal] [regression] Incorrect icons for USB devices

[Nick Hall]

In 12.04, when I plug in a USB stick it is shown as a USB icon in the laucher. A media player is displayed as a media player icon.

In 12.10, some USB sticks are displayed as a combined USB/floppy icon. My media player is displayed as a USB icon.

The drives which show incorrect icons are all SanDisk:

Cruzer Micro (0781:5406)
Cruzer Micro (0781:5151)

and the media player is:

Sansa E260 (0781:7421)

The usual dialog asking what to do when a media player is inserted is not displayed in 12.10 as it was in 12.04.

Making this bug just about the icons. The issue with Safely Remove Drive is bug 1067876.

Thanks. I have added a comment to the other bug report.

Same problem in raring.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Andrea Azzarone (azzar1)]

Can you still preduce this issue? We had some changes on this code area, maybe the bug just went away.

[Nick Hall (n-hall)]

Yes. I still get incorrect icons for SanDisk devices using 14.04 LTS.

The problem with the Lexar drive re-mointing has disappeared, so I have removed it from the description.

I have tried a number of other makes including Lexar, Sony, Memorex and Verbatim. They all show the correct icon.
