Description john stultz 2006-02-06 12:03:03 UTC
Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.15
Distribution: Ubuntu Breezy
Hardware Environment: Apple Mac Mini
Problem Description:

Since 2.6.16-rc1, gnome-volume-manager has seemingly stopped working. It no
longer seems to detect when devices (usb flash drive, usb ipod, firewire backup
disk) are plugged in or ejected and does not create/remove desktop icons.

From the kernel dmesg, it appears everything is fine. Devices are found and can
be mounted, unmounted, ejected. However gnome-volume-manager no longer appears
to see the state changes.

It probably is a gnome-volume-manager issue, but since it sorta smells like
user-land breakage, I figured I'd file a kernel bug.  Another concern is that
this might be related to the ppc -> powerpc conversion. 

Steps to reproduce: 
1) Build & boot 2.6.16-rc1 or greater on a ppc32 Mac Mini.
2) After the desktop has come up, plug in a usb storage device
3) Note the device desktop icon is not created.

Bug is still reproducible on 2.6.16-rc3 + git tree from tonight.
Comment 2 Pekka Enberg 2006-02-19 04:08:54 UTC
This is definitely a kernel bug. I have the exact same problem with Gentoo Linux
on x86.
Comment 3 Kay Sievers 2006-02-19 19:18:47 UTC
I just tested -rc4 and it works fine for me with udev, HAL, gnome-volume-manager.
Comment 4 Adrian Bunk 2006-02-22 12:57:42 UTC
The problematic commit was reverted in Linus' tree.

Thanks for your report!
