[Bug 1103593] Re: Unity always shows all devices in launcher when CD is inserted

 

I recently moved form 12.04 to 14.04 (through a clean upgrade, keeping home partition) and so dar this is the only serious bug I have encountered. 
It affects me both opn removing an audio-cd as noted above (have not tested with other optical media) and, more annoyingly, on removing my android (google nexus 4) phone.

Detailed description of setup and behavior:
- I have a number of NFS shares on a home server that are mounted through fstab. 

-After installing Trusty these all appeared in the launcher. Right
clicking one of them and selcting 'unlock form launcher' removed them
all.

- On inserting a CD or plugging my phone in nothing happens in the
launcher (ideaally these devices would show up, but no big deal)

- On ejecting the disc or plugging out the phone all the other mounted
drives, including nfs shares reappear in the launcher and need to again
be 'unlocked from launcher')

- Pendrives do behave correctly: they show up seperately in the launcher
on being inserted, and dissapear upon 'eject' either via filemanager or
ddirectly through the launcher.

- I also have to USB-3 hard drives that show a mixture of these behaviors. They appear seperately in the launcher upon turning them on (good). If I select unmount in the filemanager they remain visible in the launcher and dissapear upon turning them off. However, if I select 'safely remove dirve, either through the launcher or filemanager, they briefly dissappear and reappear along with all the NFS shares in the launcher. 
NB: this last behavior seems related to Nemo being deafault file manager. With Nautilus there is no 'safely remove' option either in launcher or in file manager, instead I can 'unmount' through  launcher and then turn the drive off. 
All other behavior appears identical regardless of default file manager.

Title:
  Unity always shows all devices in launcher when CD is inserted

  Confirmed

Bug description:
  In Ubuntu 12.10 the default behavior when inserting a CD (or a USB
  memory stick, etc.) is to add a list of mounted devices to the
  launcher.  This takes up a lot of extra space for me as I usually have
  several Samba mounts.  Furthermore, I don't need or want to see my CD
  in the launcher.

  I can click right on the mounted devices and select "Unlock from
  launcher", but the next time I insert a CD they're back.  Disabling
  this "feature" should be an option in 12.10.  I believe it was an
  option in 12.04 via CCSM.   Thanks.
