Description Tom Horsley 2011-11-25 15:49:47 UTC
Description of problem:

Gnome 3 randomly pops up a dire warning about some disk having a problem.
When you say "Examine", you get the palimpsest utility popped up with
a list of all the disk devices on the system, and nothing to tell you
what the dire warning was all about.

Currently you have to go through all the disk devices individually and
expand the items till you find one with a warning message down in the
detailed info.

It should either auto expand any items for disks that have warnings,
or there should be some sort of visual indicator on disks that have
warnings so you can tell which ones to look at.

It might help if the original dire warning popup mentioned which disk
as well :-).

The current behavior is kind of like saying "You misspelled a word
somewhere" and then offering to popup a dictionary app.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-disk-utility-3.0.2-3.fc16.x86_64


How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1.see above

Actual results:
You have to hunt for the disk with the errors.

Expected results:
Easier to find disks that have problem reports.

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2013-01-16 13:01:37 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 16. 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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 
'version' of '16'.

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 prior to Fedora 16's end of life.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 2 Fedora Admin XMLRPC Client 2013-02-04 13:22:15 UTC
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database.  Reassigning to the new owner of this component.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2013-02-13 22:39:23 UTC
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is 
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of 
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
