Comment:
What is really strange is that I just got finished installing Ubuntu on
an older k6 233Mhz system I had lying around here.  Everything in the
unit is SCSI based (HD, both CDs, and ZIP).  I started with the 4.10
release and everything worked fine.  CDs were automounted, displayed on
the desktop, and ejected smoothly.  The same was true of ZIP disks.  I
say was, because after finishing the upgrade to 5.10 this is no longer
the case.  Now, ZIP disks are automatically mounted on insert and a
Nautilus window started.  However, there is no icon on the desktop for
them , nor is there one in the Computer view of Nautilus.  Thus the only
way to eject the disk is to run eject via sudo against the device or
mount point.
