Comment 2 for bug 823324

The apport-collect 823324 did not work!

However here is an extract from syslog which shows:

(1) plugging in a memory stick and then removing it safely.
(2) plugging in my WD usb hard drive worked but
(3) The WD usb hard drive did not unmount when I tried to remove it safely (using the icon on the desktop).
