Eject button present even when the user does not have the rights to unmount

[Guillaume Pratte]

Binary package hint: nautilus

When using a loop back mount point or when having another user mounting a device, the eject button is shown in Nautilus even if the user does not have the rights to use the button (to eject the device/mount point).

To reproduce :

sudo mkdir /media/cdrom
sudo mount -o loop jaunty.iso /media/cdrom

Try to eject the mounted device in Nautilus. An error message is printed.

I can confirm this bug. It also affects all LTSP deployments where we have the USB keys and CDROM mounted using fuse (ltspfs) over the network. The user doesn't have the right to unmount them directly and so the eject button fails.

thank you for your bug report, what ubuntu version do you use?

[Guillaume Pratte (guillaumepratte)]

Jaunty. We will try to reproduce in Karmic also.

[Stéphane Graber (stgraber)]

My tests were done with Karmic.

Stephane, could you stop setting bugs to triaged if they have not been sent upstream yet? That bug is just confirmed

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug the to the people writting the software (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The bug has been sent on http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586644

A very old patch to solve this issue for LTSP mounts is located at http://people.canonical.com/~ogra/95_suppress_umount_in_ltsp.patch and was provided by Oliver Grawert in the duplicate bug #107523

Maybe it could form the base of a newer patch to solve this issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is fixed in the current version (which asks for an admin password to eject)
