Description of problem: Everyrtime i want to open a file or save a file, before the file dialog appears, the dvd unit spin ups "brrrrruuuUUUUUMMM" It takes betwen 3 or 5 seconds, and my dvd rw is very noisy. The problem is that when i want to save a document i dont want to: * either hear the noise (it is not fedora's fault of course. that is a model specific asus "dis-feature") * nor have to wait 3 o 5 seconds for the dialog to show-up (remember win9x...) There is no way to save to a cd/dvd, since it is a read-only medium. (i do use k3b to write to cd/dvd rw) It is a minor issue, but it makes me remove the dvd from the drive as son as it happens the first time. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): udisks.x86_64 1.0.1-8.fc15 How reproducible: allways Steps to Reproduce: 1. put a cdrom (read only) in the drive (any media will do, this is the best example) 2. select save as... in some kde program 3. wow! the cdrom spin ups!!! * i am 100% sure i will not save a txt from kwrite to a read-only media!!! Actual results: to much unwanted noise and waiting time Expected results: silent computing, unless explicity using the dvd/cd unit. maybe it must be spin up uppon the user clicking the cd/dvd entry in dolphin instead, Maybe Additional info:
Any news on this? The problem is much worse on any laptop (since the spin-up time is longer). It is really annoying to have to wait for saving a file in /home for de dvd/cd unit to spin-up....for no good reason. In previous fedora versions (like 13) this problem did not exist.
It does still happen on both F16 and F17. It is really annoying when using a laptop.
I don't know what is causing this but it's not udisks. If it's any help, this is not happening in GNOME either so I guess KDE or something is to blame. Good luck. Closing
