Bug#252571: CDROM refuses to eject after being mounted by KDE device icon; USB key refuses to unmount
I'm also having this problem. If I mount a CD by double clicking the
device icon and then close the konqueror window and hit eject, I get an
error "eject /dev/hdb failed!". I can unmount using the unmount option
and I verified that /media/cdrom0 was empty after the unmount. Yet, even
after unmounting it refuses to eject. Manually doing eject /dev/hdb or
eject /media/cdrom0 works fine. I get this eror whether I have 1 or 0
instances of Konqueror preloaded.
Once I killed this process I was able to eject from the KDE icon:
18057 ? S 0:00 kdeinit: kio_file file
/tmp/ksocket-jason/klauncherw9Vnob.slave-socket
/tmp/ksocket-jason/konquerorjKPFLa.slave-socket
I'm having a similar problem with my USB key. If I double click my USB
kde device icon and then close the konqueror window, it refuses to
unmount complaining that the device is busy. I must kill this process to
unmount the device. Unlike with the cdrom a umount /mnt/removable also
complains that the device is busy. fuser shows this process running each
time.
16151 ? S 0:01 kdeinit: konqueror -mimetype inode/directory
file:/mnt/removable
This problem can be solved if the performance setting "maximum number of
instances kept preloaded" is set to 0, but this of course slows
konqueror startup time.
