I don't see that bug as a duplicate.

It never said anything about the hardware eject button.

Comment 3 Lukáš Tinkl 2012-05-31 12:21:04 UTC

Does this still happen with KDE 4.8?

Comment 4 dE 2012-06-02 15:18:34 UTC

No

Comment 5 dE 2012-07-16 03:38:18 UTC

This's reproducable with 4.8.3 again, and this time the behaviour is yet more strange.

If I press the hardware eject button once, even the software eject button will stop working... it does nothing at all. And then if I eject it using cdrecord/wodim, KIO (?) will refuse to realize that the drive has been ejected; the disk will be avilable (in the places panel and device notifier) even after I've removed the disk. And cause all of the data has been cached, I can even copy it without the actual; disk being avilable.

Placing a new disk makes no difference; KIO is forzen for that disk.

KDE 4.9 -- hardware eject button has no action, after I press it, KIO does not hang for the device and I can still eject it.

Also notice that if I do not open the mounted disk in Dolphin, the hardware eject button works fine but false notification of the disk's presence remains in the device notification applet.

Comment 7 dE 2012-10-07 06:46:44 UTC

KDE 4.9.1 -- ejection mechanism behaves yet more weirdly, once the tray starts to eject, it gets inside again. I've to play games with it to remove a disk.

Comment 8 Lukáš Tinkl 2012-10-08 10:21:01 UTC

This is fixed in 4.9.2, reopen if the problem persists

Comment 9 dE 2012-11-15 07:12:26 UTC

No, hardware eject button doesn't work yet.

Comment 10 dE 2012-12-19 05:15:20 UTC

Update 4.9.4 -- software eject button has stopped working completely. It complains device is busy, and if I press the hardware eject button, it does eject but there's a zombie entry in the device notifier which says the disk is still mounted. I've to restart the external drive to fix the issue.

umouting manually and then pressing the hardware eject button doesn't cause zombie entries to appear.
