Created attachment 393945 [details] screen shot of error messages User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; en-US; rv:1.9.2.10) Gecko/20100914 SUSE/3.6.10-0.3.1 Firefox/3.6.10 Every time i plug in USB stick or insert CD/DVD these media are attempted to be mounted three times. Example: i insert USB stick and normally (under GNOME) you would expect Nautilus open with mounted media and USB icon showing up on the desktop. Instead i get four (4) nautilus instances and three (3) warnings: DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.Failed: An operation is already pending When i "click away" waring messages 4 nautilus windows stay open. Everything mounts no problems there, but it is very irritating especially when i insert USB stick with 2 partitions on it - then 0 get double of everything i mentioned above. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. insert usb stick 2. 3. Actual Results: 4 nautilus instances and 3 warning windows Expected Results: one nautilus window with mounted media
I too have this issue with my openSUSE 11.3 installation. My case differs from Niko's in that it does not occur every time i plug in a usb device or use my dvd drive. If i leave my computer on it seems to increase the chances that i come across this message. I have been able to reduce the occurrence of these messages by adding myself to the cdrom, floppy, and disk groups in the user groups.
I did some trial and error and I seem to have isolated the situation on my end to having Nautilus open while mounting external media. When i meet this condition the problem occurs most every time i try to mount media afterward. I ran dmesg and found the entry for the specific mount: [ 197.151021] usb 1-5: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 8 [ 197.267319] usb 1-5: New USB device found, idVendor=0930, idProduct=6545 [ 197.267324] usb 1-5: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3 [ 197.267328] usb 1-5: Product: DataTraveler 2.0 [ 197.267331] usb 1-5: Manufacturer: Kingston [ 197.267334] usb 1-5: SerialNumber: 001D0F0CCF585B8A0E050379 [ 197.269595] scsi6 : usb-storage 1-5:1.0 [ 198.270343] scsi 6:0:0:0: Direct-Access Kingston DataTraveler 2.0 PMAP PQ: 0 ANSI: 0 CCS [ 198.273320] sd 6:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 [ 198.843694] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] 3966976 512-byte logical blocks: (2.03 GB/1.89 GiB) [ 198.844275] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 198.844280] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 23 00 00 00 [ 198.844284] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 198.846684] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 198.846694] sdc: sdc1 [ 198.895937] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 198.895943] sd 6:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 204.667374] usb 1-5: USB disconnect, address 8
Sorry, this bug did not get the attention it deserved. Not likely, you have already upgraded to newer versions of openSUSE, which had a lot more bug fixes. As openSUSE 11.3 is no longer maintained (for a long time already) and I can't seem to reproduce anything similar in openSUSE 12.1 / 12.2 RC, I close the bug as 'FIXED'. Should you be able to reproduce this issue on a newer openSUSE version, please feel to report it again.
