Description Adrian Nguyen 2016-07-19 18:19:39 UTC

Bootloader: GRUB2

GParted Live does not prompt me to eject my disc after I shut down in the following way:

I double-click the red "Exit" icon on the desktop.

I choose the "Shut Down" option.

This bug did not appear when I used the default bootloader that came with Windows 10.

Thanks for this bug report. The upstream live-tools fails. I have reported a patch to the upstream:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=831830

This issue will be fixed in the next GParted live release.

Could you please give testing GParted live 0.26.1-3 a try?

Please let us know the results.
Thanks.

Thank you Adrian for reporting this issue, and thank you Steven for developing a patch to address the issue.

I have successfully tested gparted-live-0.26.1-3-i686.iso on a variety of computers and it correctly prompted to "remove the boot media and press enter".

Thanks,
Curtis

Comment 4 Adrian Nguyen 2016-07-21 22:06:52 UTC

I thank the development team for fixing this bug. I just tested GParted Live 0.26.1-3. I was asked to eject the disc after shutting down.

Comment 5 Steven Shiau 2016-07-21 23:08:01 UTC

Thanks for confirming that. Now GParted live 0.26.1-3 has been promoted to stable release.
