Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 187228
kio_media_mounthelper fails with "sh: /bin/fuser: No such file or directory"
Last modified: 2007-11-30 17:11:28 EST
Description of problem: kio_media_mounthelper -u <url> on mounted device while the mountpoint is busy results in the above error. This is because it's looking for fuser in the wrong place. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kdebase-3.5.1-5. How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: Connect USB drive, allow to mount with kio_media_mounthelper cd to mountpoint kio_media_mounthelper -u <url> Actual results: Fails due to missing /bin/fuser (fuser is in /sbin) Expected results: fuser should allow mounthelper to generate an error dialog detailing processes holding mountpoint busy. Additional info: Suggest we either alter kio_media_mounthelper to be a little more flexible about the location of fuser. At a pinch, creating a symlink from /sbin/fuser to /bin/fuser will get rid of the problem.
I get the same issue. I reported it at the KDE bugzilla, and it was closed as invalid, because they say they don't use fuser, and said it must be a Fedora specific patch. http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=126197 (This is a re-post after the Bugzilla data-loss crash of June 2006).
it's now fixed in our CVS. The fix will be included in next kdebase rebuild for FC5 update. You should please add the symlink fuser to /bin/ temporary as the quick workaround. Thanks for your report.
