Description Gauvain Pocentek 2007-01-18 16:09:04 CET
When I plug a device for the first time in an Xfce session, browse it, then umount/eject the media, the notification popup appears. The next times I do this (in the same session), the popup doesn't show up, even if it's an other media which is used.
Where should I look to have informations about what happens?
Comment 1 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2007-01-18 16:10:01 CET
The unmount notification?
Comment 2 Gauvain Pocentek 2007-01-18 16:15:40 CET
Yes.
Comment 3 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2007-01-18 16:40:44 CET
Hm, exo-eject/exo-unmount use the exo-mount-notify-0.3 utility for this. But I don't see why it should fail to spawn that a second time.
Comment 4 Gauvain Pocentek 2007-01-18 16:57:26 CET
I've just tested on an other installation (up to date ubuntu feisty), and the behavior is slightly different but still not the one expected. The notification worked each time I ejected a cd, but unmounting a digital camera didn't show the notification.

Comment 5 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2007-01-19 09:20:30 CET
You replace the exo-mount-notify-0.3 with a shell script that logs the parameters to see what happens (i.e. rename exo-mount-notify-0.3 to exo-mount-notify-0.3.real, create a shell script that prints $* to ~/notify.log and execs the real binary).
Comment 6 Gauvain Pocentek 2007-01-21 09:55:54 CET
The notification window seem to not show up when no action has been made on the device. For instance:
 - plug an USB stick for the first time, open it in thunar, then umount it -> the nofification appear,
 - re-mount and then unmount it, no notification,
 - mount it again, `touch` a file, unmount it, the notification works.

HTH
Comment 7 Benedikt Meurer editbugs 2007-01-21 13:20:52 CET
Was exo-mount-notify-0.3 executed in the second case?
Comment 8 Gauvain Pocentek 2007-01-21 13:40:33 CET
No.

Hm, I still cannot reproduce this one, sorry. I really don't know what could be wrong here.
Comment 11 Manuel C. 2007-08-27 07:48:23 CEST
I can confirm this bug.
Comment 12 Nick Schermer editbugs 2010-11-17 08:50:03 CET
Jannis, is this one still relevant? I think we can close it.
Comment 13 Jannis Pohlmann editbugs 2010-11-17 10:10:35 CET
I think we can close it. A lot has changed here, so I'm confident that this bug has been fixed. Please re-open if it still occurs in Thunar >= 1.1.1.
