Eject and blank disks

[Tomasz Chrzczonowicz]

Binary package hint: nautilus

1. No "eject" context-menu option for blank disks

When I right-click a non-blank disk, I get "unmount" and "eject" options.
When I right-click a blank disk, I only get "unmount".

2. (from bug 500618) Clicking eject icon in nautilus doesn't work for blank disks.

How to reproduce:

1. Insert a blank disk and it's recognized as such.
2. Open Nautilus in browser mode (Ubuntu default)
3. Click the "eject" icon next to the disk on the sidebar

What happens:

The working directory in Nautilus changes to /home/$USER

What should happen:

Disk should be ejected

Both issues are reproducible on Lucid. Package versions:

I do not remember how it behaved on previous versions, but this sounds like a probable regression.

Needs upstream bug.

Both problems do not occur in Jaunty/natulius, behaviour is as expected

1. I get "eject" for blank disks (no unmount)
2. Ejecting a blank disk ejects the disk and takes me to homedir

Marking as Triaged.

[Tomasz Chrzczonowicz (tch)]

Seems to be fixed in Lucid.

upstream closed the bug and comment suggests it works now, closing that one
