Bug Description
Hi,
I'm using Kubuntu 8.04. Whenever I insert a pen drive, a new entry appears in Dolphin -> Storage Media as expected. If I right click on it, Actions -> Safely Remove, I get an error dialog box saying:
"The device was successfully unmounted, but could not be ejected"
In a console, this is some of the output of my tries - (/dev/sdb is the usb pen drive):
rohan@ubuntu:~$ eject /dev/sdb
eject: unable to open `/dev/sdb'
rohan@ubuntu:~$ eject /dev/sdb1
eject: unable to open `/dev/sdb1'
rohan@ubuntu:~$ sudo eject /dev/sdb1
rohan@ubuntu:~$
After which the icon disappears from Dolphin -> Storage Media as expected.
Is this is a problem with my setup, or a bug with Kubuntu?
Thanks.

I don't think the correct package is dolphin - this problem happens even if I try to Safely Remove the pen drive by right clicking the icon on the desktop.
