[Karmic] All mounted media have a media-player icon

[Botond Szász]

After today's update of the devicekit-disks package all mounted media have a media-player icon. Before this all mounted storage had their icons according to what type the device is. Optical disks had a CD or DVD icon, USB flash drives also had their icons.

Confirming the issue here - it's because of a typo in 95-devkit-disks.rules causing the devices to get a ID_MEDIA_PLAYER property

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

This is fixed now

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

In which upload was it fixed?

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Sorry, this one:

devicekit-disks (007-2ubuntu2) karmic; urgency=low

  * 07-media-player-icon.patch: Fix stupid typo which caused _all_ devices to
    get marked as a media player.

@Chris Coulson
do you know when the fix will be uploaded to the repos?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

ego-sum-deus, there is usually some hours between a package is uploaded and it is built and the binaries are published on the download servers and the mirrors.

Maybe I'm missing something, but my ipod is still just has the usb drive icon. I am using 007-2ubuntu2 version. Is this still outstanding? The gvfs fix is working just not the mounted icon.

[Boondoklife (boondoklife)]

Just wanted to note that the fix seems to work for my ipod nano but not my ipod shuffle, is there anything that I can post to be of assistance on this?

[Tormod Volden (tormodvolden)]

Boondoklife, please file a new bug about this.

Just to note, as of 11-7-09, I'm still seeing this problem. Mounting my Sony 2gig microvault thumb drive ALWAYS mounts as a music device + icons and has the rythmbox "open with" dialog associated with it.

The device works fine, but this, to me, is a regression, as the device was detected and mounted properly as a usb drive prior to this release.

ubuntu 64bit - clean install.

Forgot to add in my last post that all updates as of the date I listed have been applied.

Since I have the same problem here ONLY with flash drives I reported a new Bug #477976.
May be it is a duplicate.

This bug is about "all mounted media" and it has been fixed. Please file new bugs for other issues.
