CD stays mounted when ejected and another CD inserted

[David Balažic]

Binary package hint: nautilus

This happens on two PCs I tried: a HP nw8440 laptop and a Toshiba L500-13T laptop

I booted the live environment from an USB stick using the ubuntu-10.10-desktop-i386.iso

I inserted a CD into the built in optical unit.
It is mounted and an icon appears on the desktop.

 - I open it by double-click : the contents are displayed in a window
 - in terminal I check with "df" that is is mounted
 - I press the eject button on the unit: the CD is ejected

Problems:
OS does not notice the CD is ejected. The content windows is still there, also the icon on desktop. "df" also shows it as still mounted. ("mount" also).

 - I insert a different CD
 - In the CD content window (still showing content of the first CD) I open a folder:
the folder content from the first CD is displayed (probably cached)

 - I open a text file in that folder: the text editor opens and complains it can't read the file due to I/O error

syslog has a few lines of : ISOFS: unable to read i-node block

ls also show the old file contents.

If I right click the CD icon on desktop, it is refreshed:
 - the label changes to the label of the second CD
 - it is remounted (the content of the second CD is now readable), but under /media/label_of_first_CD , not its own label

Thank you for your bug report. 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)

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Oneiric Ocelot. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.

[Expired for nautilus (Ubuntu) because there has been no activity for 60 days.]

I have similar problem, Ubuntu 11.10, trying to recover data from CDs: on a Toshiba Satellite. When done copying from one CD, and insert another, the contents of the first is what still shows in the pane, can't seem to get to the second CD, though it's in the disk drive. Even after closing and reopening the "Places". (Odd, huh?) May be I can do one CD each time I reboot Ubuntu.

It is the same with Ubuntu 13.10 amd64.

But what is the point of writing here?

The only thing that happens is an automated message once a year, asking if the bug somehow magically disappeared, all by itself.

Is anyone (beside users) reading this?
