Description oob 2006-03-21 07:40:44 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Nautilus
2. Browse to "Computer"
3. Right click on "CD-RW/DVD-+R Drive)
4. Select "eject."

Nautilus will crash and restart, leaving an error dialogue which reads "Unable
to mount media. There is probably no media in the drive."


Stack trace:


Other information:
This is FC5, kernel 2.6.15, Gnome 2.14, Pioneer DVD-RW model DVR-117D (from a
Mac G5)

This was working until I upgraded. Looks to me like the Gnome hegemony usability
Nazis have decided that "no-one will want to open an EMPTY CD/DVD drive. Let's
remove that functionality! Hooray!" and managed to introduce Nautilus crash bug
in doing so.

Opening an empty CD/DVD drive from Nautilus is a legitimate requirement. Did you
hear that? I said; OPENING UP AN EMPTY CD/DVD DRIVE IS A LEGITIMATE FUCKING
REQUIREMENT. 

Put the functionality you removed back in you singleminded, ignorant fuckwits.

Heh, this is one of the most insulting yet amusing bug reports I've ever read.
Unless you provide us with a stack trace, we will not be able to help you, though. http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so.
Comment 2 oob 2006-03-21 14:47:51 UTC 
Why bother? There is simply no point. This isn't a bug, it's a mandated feature from the Gnome Hegemony Front, forced down our throats as usual. The inevitable response will be to the effect of;

"The usability Politburo of the Gnome project has determined that opening an empty CD/DVD drive can confuse users. With due deference to the HIG (praise be to HIG!) we have determined that crashing Nautilus when an attempt is made to open an empty CD/DVD drive is the behaviour new users expect."

Oh well, sounds like you don't want to provide a stacktrace, eh? If all you want is complain, we can speed up this issue...

NEEDINFO. See comment 1.
