Description of problem: when pressing the "eject" button on nautilus, some info is written to the usb stick even if the device was used only for reading. this takes several seconds for a device used for reading, and much more for a device used for writing. when the device can be safely removed, there's no message indicating this. it is not clear of the dissapearance of the "eject" sign in nautilus is the expected "notfiation" but, if it is, then is not enough. a real notification should pop up, and if the user is not reading it immediately, it should be available to be read later. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): $ rpm -q gnome-session gnome-session-3.10.1-1.fc20.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Actual results: Expected results: Additional info:
There's supposed to be a notification, i think, but I belive it's invoked by gvfs and provided by gnome-shell. Reassigning to GVFS
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
In fedora 22 there is a notification warning that the device shall not be removed until writing has finished. But still there's no notification that the device can be safely removed.
You should see following notification if unmount takes more then 1.5 sec: _("Unmounting %s\nPlease wait") _("Writing data to %s\nDon't unplug until finished") Consequently there is shown one from the following messages when device is already unmounted (if you didn't abort the notification about unmounting): _("%s has been unmounted\n") _("You can now unplug %s\n") But you are right, that there isn't any notification if it doesn't take more then 1.5 sec (or you aborted the notification). Probably the second message might be shown everytime to be sure that device is unmounted...
I've already attached patch upstream to show the notification everytime...
