Description Jef Spaleta 2006-03-26 00:18:56 UTC
Description of problem:
User1: jspaleta is the console owner
cat /var/run/console/console.lock
jspaleta
User2: testuser is a second user logged in vig gdmflexiserver

There are 2 devices which are mountable by the console owner on the system
the floppy drive and the cd-rw. These devices are visible in both the jspaleta
AND the testuser's Computer window in the Gnome desktop.

Attempting to interact with the cd-rw device to eject it in testuser's desktop
via the right click menu in the Computer window results in a nautilus crash..
which can not be recovered from. The gnome-session process for testuser must be
killed and the gdmflexiserver restarted. Crash dialog appears in testuser's
desktop but can not be interacted with to cancel or restart.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nautilus-2.14.0-1

How reproducible:
Everytime I have user2 login via a gdmflexiserver session while user1 is already
logged in.

1)login to gnome on the console as user1
2)from a terminal in user1's desktop start gdmflexiserver-n
3)login to gnome desktop as user2 in the gdmflexiserver window
4)in user2's desktop open computer window find the cd-rw device and attempt to
eject it
5)watch as the crash dialog for nautilus appears for user2 and user2's login
session locks up requiring killing of the gnome-session manually.

also happens with non-nested gdmflexiserv session for user2

Expected results:
nautilus should fail gracefully to eject, similar to how it fails gracefully
when attempting to mount the devices which user2 doesn't have permissions to
interact with. Nautilus should most definitely not crash.

Fedora Core 5 and Fedora Core 6 are no longer maintained. Is this bug still
present in Fedora 7 or Fedora 8?
