hello again people,

i don't know if these two problems are connected, but they happened at the exact same moment.

anyway, first of all, i have a usb memory key thing (no name brand). i plug it in and mount it without any problems (/dev/sda1). once i try to umount it, it keeps on saying device is busy. this happens even if i don't copy any files to it!

second... after getting frustrated with the above situation, i reboot just to umount the usbkey. i notice that my gnome setup no longer fades when i have the logout screen showing. anyway to fix this as well? it's eye candy, but it makes some people (who haven't seen winxp) go "oooh, what's that".

thanks

Hi, Dex. Try doing "lsof f /dev/sda1" in a terminal window to see what is grabbing the device. My bet is on fam.
