I have a few USB sticks that I use regularly, they all show up as device icons on my desktop. When I right-click on a device icon and choose "Unmount Volume" the icon will disappear immediately. However, there might still be disk activity going on (a sync). This means that there is no visual queue on when it's safe to pull out the USB stick, and I've pulled out the stick too early quite a few times :-( Is there some way of making sure that the icon stays until it's safe to remove the stick. Or to get a notification of some sort? This is on a Debian Sid system.In Ubuntu Dapper I see a window with a pulsing progress bar It hides itself when it's safe to remove the device.
Hmm, where do you see it? Maybe I'm missing a recommended package somewhere, would you mind sending me a list of installed packages? /M -- Magnus Therning (OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4) magnus therning org Jabber: magnus therning gmail com http://therning.org/magnus Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
