Please describe the problem: The bug has been opened on https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gvfs/+bug/203722 The FIRST time I try to mount floppy double clicking its icon I get an error message: See attachment In English sounds like: "Unable to mount location" "Unable to mount file" but this doesn't prevent mounting itself because floppy is mounted correctly (just wait some seconds) although it doesn't open any folder. If I unmount and mount it again during the same gnome session no problem at all. (Apart from other bugs filed separately) The error message come up every FIRST mounting time of every session. Steps to reproduce: Actual results: Expected results: Does this happen every time? Other information:
Created attachment 109774 [details] Error message
I don't have a floppy, so i can't test this. But it might be fixed by: 2009-03-05 Alexander Larsson <alexl@redhat.com> * monitor/hal/ghaldrive.c: * monitor/hal/ghalmount.c: * monitor/hal/ghalvolume.c: * monitor/hal/ghalvolumemonitor.c: Remove all locking (not needed since we're now a single threaded process). Don't emit signals in idle, thus risking callback reordering. We don't need this anymore as it was part of the locking structure. This should fix the "No mount object for mounted volume" error when mounting. in gvfs 1.1.8. Could someone test that?
I just tried gvfs 1.1.8 and the bug is not fixed unfortunately.
Hal volume is obsolete currently. If you see this issue also with udisks2 volume monitor, please file a bug for udisks2 volume monitor...
