USB pen drive), the file manager (Thunar) window is opened 2 times. This behaviour doesn't happen for every device: I can reproduce it with a 2 GB USB pen drive, but I *can't* reproduce this issue with a 300 GB Firewire drive (the file browser is opened just 1 time). Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable the "Browse removable media when inserted" option. 2. Insert a device. Actual Results: Sometimes the file manager (Thunar) window is opened 2 times. Expected Results: It should open the file manager window only 1 time.
How many file systems do you have on your 2 GB pen drive (including hidden ones)?
Only one. Only one partition with max size.

I have seen roughly the same bug. I tried both usb-disk and CD, they will be automounted and the icon will be shown on desktop. But two browser windows will be opened. And if i eject the CD by pressing the release button, two error message dialog will be popped up.
Oh sorry, i'm using thunar-volman 0.2.0, hal 0.5.10, archlinux
I am experiencing the same for some time - but now it is worse - the browser window opens three times ;) I am on Xubuntu 8.04: thunar 0.9.0-4ubuntu2; thunar-volman 0.2.0-2ubuntu2 I am using a usb-pendrive with 4 gb capacity and only one big fat32 partition on it. The same happens with my ipod. Any additional information i may provide to troubleshoot this?
How many Thunar instances are running on your system (pgrep Thunar)?
Good call - I had 3 running. After killing two of them only one window opened when I connected the pendrive. My problem is solved for now, but I have no clue how I ended up with those 3 instances. After a reboot there is still only one Thunar running, so it's nothing in my startup scripts. Maybe some glitch with session management?
I get this problem, with only 1 thunar process running. This occurs with 2 different memory sticks: 1) An old 512Mb Lexar Jumpdrive 2) A 4 Gb San Disk Cruzer (the U3 partition does not appear). and also with an unbranded 3.5 inch external USB HD enclosure with a 40GB drive with a single partition (which may have been formatted on a PowerPC mac but running Linux). I've not had a chance to check what happens on a firewire drive as all my 6-6 FW cables seem to be at work. This is on a 32-Bit machine running Thunar 0.9.0 from the Ubuntu (Intrepid Ibex) repositories.
(In reply to comment #9) > I get this problem, with only 1 thunar process running. Are you sure you had only 1 thunar process running? You may have more than one thunar processes running even if you have only one thunar window open. At least my computer had two thunar processes running and thus I got two new windows per hotplug.
Re Jarno Suni's question: Yes, provided that "pgrep thunar" can't overlook a process.
Mass reassign. Nick, please check these pending reports. Thx.
I encountered same problem on RHEL5 with thunar-volman-0.2.0-1.el5.centos. Each time a new media was inserted multiple file manager windows opened. If any file manger was previously opened -> only one windows was opend. If n file manager are opened -> n+1 windows were opened. When I killed all Thunar process and start it manually : Thunar --daemon Isaw this error "Thunar: Failed to connect to the D-BUS session bus: Failed to execute dbus-launch to autolaunch D-Bus session". I installed dbus-x11 to provide exe dbus-launch. Then the problem of multiple file manager is solved. Only one window is opened even if several instances of file manager are running or several media are connected. Hope it helps.
Closing because of age. HAL is long gone. Reopen if necessary.
