Description Andrew C. Dingman 2006-04-03 15:16:53 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
The right-click menu for automatically-mounted LUKS partitions on USB keys
offers an unmount option, but it does not work.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert a USB key with a LUKS-enabled encrypted partition.
2. Enter the appropriate password to mount the drive, when prompted.
3. Right-click on the newly mounted partition, either on the desktop or in a
file browser window, and choose "Unmount Volume"


Actual results:
A dialog box entitled "Unmount Error" appears, with the message "Unable to
unmount the selected volume". Under "Show more details", the message displayed
is "unmount: /media/<whatever> is not in the fstab (and you are not root)"

Expected results:
The volume is unmounted, and icons disappear from desktop and file browser windows.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
These same volumes can be correctly unmounted by the same user at the command
line, by calling 'pumount' on the mount point. (EG, "pumount /media/usbdisk"
works if the usb key is mounted on /media/usbdisk.)

I've exactly the same problem.
My USB key is mounted with g-v-m which call pmount-hal.
When I right-click to unmount the key, I have "Cannot unmount volume".
It seems gnome-vfs use umount command instead of pumount...
Comment 2 Vincent Fretin 2006-06-05 08:12:51 UTC 
I resolved my problem.
I had gnome-mount and pmount both installed.
gnome-volume-manager is configured to use pmount at mount.
gnome-vfs try to use gnome-mount if it is there.
I removed gnome-mount, gnome-vfs uses pumount now.
Problem fixed for me.
Comment 3 Chris Jones 2006-08-30 22:35:06 UTC 
I am running Ubuntu dapper and I see this problem and there is no gnome-mount command installed that I can find.
Comment 4 Martin Pitt 2006-09-20 07:09:18 UTC 
not a Gnome upstream bug, but Ubuntu specific. Closing.
