Safely Remove
does not work. That is, using that option will unmount the
device but does not remove the icon from the desktop.
Likely a udev/eject problem; it works here but your previous
comments indicate that your udev subsystem may not be working as well
for some reason.
* Eject does not work with CDs/DVDs.
See above comment.; not likely to be a TDE problem.
I tested this under Xfce 4.10 and KDE 4.8.5 in Slackware 14. With both desktops eject
works for optical disks and the icons disappear with the equivalent of Safely Remove. I
don't think the problem is udev/eject problem. Also nobody is reporting eject problems
with Slackware 14.
In my xsession log I see the following when I select Eject from the popup menu:
[tdeinit] Got EXT_EXEC 'eject' from launcher.
[tdeinit] eject is executable and not a library. Launching with exec.
ioctl: Input/output error
After selecting the Eject option from the popup menu, even root can't run the eject
command from a terminal. Oddly, after I use the drive button to force the eject, the eject
command starts working again for root and non root users. Seems as though there is a soft
lock of some sort.
As you are not seeing either problem, at this point I suspect a build issue, similar to
what we saw yesterday with the lone WITH_HAL qualifier.
