"unit", maybe ? The device.

Either Brasero did its evil deed before trying to lock the unità or the
failure to do so did not prevent further access to the drive.

Do i get it right that you ordered Brasero to copy the CD to an
image file, not a second CD/DVD/BD drive ?

Something in Brasero's own activities for drive and medium inspection
must be to blame. I will try the "Copy" task with fvwm tomorrow,
just to be sure that it's not about the desktops.

Indeed it looks like that. With fvwm instead of XFCE the pop-up windows
and the automounting don't happen. My apologies towards udisks.

So curses towards thunar-volman ... and an apology because this is
off-topic now that i have seen the problem with fvwm, too.


Two of my questions in
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=998718#110
are answered:
- Would it happen without desktop ? = Yes.
- Is the XFCE (?) window involved which offers a file manger even for
  blank CDs when they get inserted ? = No

There are no indications that automats outside of Brasero have a stake
in the problem.


Have a nice day :)
