Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources Compiler: gcc 3.2.2 OS: Linux when i open konqueror file manager on mounted cdrom after that the device can't be unmounted error about device is busy , only if i logout kde i can unmount device . i try it on version 3.1.1a and got the same result.
Closing the Konqueror session that had the device open didn't solve? How did you open that Konqueror? I have been doing this for quite a while now and just by clicking on another outside directory, Konqueror releases the mounted directory.
i open the konqueror by click on the cdrom device clicking on another didn't help .
Ok, I managed to reproduce this: it happened apparently due to the thumbnail creator or viewer, which kept the file open after changing directories. This means it only happens in Icon View mode. None of the List modes show thumbnails, therefore this problem does not occur. Is this your case?
i checked by that cases and that seems to be the problem . only happens in icon view in all other modes i had no problem umount cdrom.
i thought i may add some info here is lsof output : lsof /mnt/cdrom2 COMMAND PID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME kdeinit 1661 maor 128r DIR 11,1 6144 59392 /mnt/cdrom2 this after using cdrom so i can't unmount device till send kill signal to that pid or logout kde.

There is no this problem if KDE is compiled without fam!
Hallo KDE Developers, thank you for your work at a really great Desktop. One thing with the konqueror is an old Problem and is still not fixed. If you mount a samba share or an NFS share Then you start the Konqueror an go to the mountet directories After you have done, click HOMEDIR or any other DIR try to umount the mountet directory, ....you get "device busy" you can: a) kill the process initiatet by kdeinit, finding it with "lsof | grep [mounted dir]" after killing , you can unmount. b) setting minimum Instanzes in Background to 0 in the Konqeror performane-settings ( "1" is default !!! ) Then: only when you close the Konqueror-window, which has been previously on the mounted Share or CDROM then you can unmount it. It's not a good solution Why does Konqueror leafe open files in visited directories ?? The Problem with the "left open files" was alread known in 2002 The Problem is still in KDE 3.2.1 with SUSE 9.1 bugs.kde.org showed the "lsof problem" as "RESOLVED" So I did an Update to 3.2.2 ...sorry, but the problem is the same !!! and obviously not solved. I have no big problem with that. But some beginners surely have a problem with that, and say: Windows is .... best regards Franz Lebschi franz.lebschi@gmx.de
Obviously this bug is not even SOLVED in kde 3.3.2!!!!!!!!! It is still the same old story!!!!! Do something, please!!!! I have to close konqueror several times browse to other dirs, ... until the device is free for umount!!!! konqueror even blocks kde umount via icon context menu. elias
