By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Julius Schwartzenberg 2009-10-26 10:14:28 CDT 
When I log out. I get a message that there are still sevaral applications using my root partition and that my root partition was not mounted by HAL, so it cannot be unmounted.

I don't think KDE should try to unmount my root partition. Something strange is happening here. I'm not sure how HAL works, let me know what info I could provide to help solve this problem.

I have the same issue. It also does this if there is a separate /home partition, saying that that partition can't be unmounted.
Comment 2 Michael Conner 2009-11-10 09:47:56 CST 
Note: this happens for me only if the entire kubuntu-desktop-kde3 package is installed. Logging out of KDE3 causes the error, but I also had the error happen when closing Amarok-KDE3 under Gnome. I do not get the error if I have Amarok installed, but do not have the entire kubuntu-desktop-kde3 package installed.
Comment 3 Timothy Pearson 2009-11-10 10:29:03 CST 
Odd.  What happens if you:
1. Install kubuntu-desktop-kde3
2. Remove kubuntu-default-settings-kde3
3. Execute aptitude purge ~c  (this purges left-over configuration files from removed packages)
4. Login to KDE3 and log out.

After this, is the problem still present or is it fixed?

I am having difficulty reproducing this reliably on my systems.  It happened only once to me on a laptop with a new profile installed.

It seems this does not influence the problem. I'm using a notebook with an older KDE 3 profile.
Comment 6 Julius Schwartzenberg 2009-11-24 19:03:30 CST 
I think you fixed this bug :) It's not happening here anymore at least.
Comment 7 Timothy Pearson 2009-11-24 19:27:09 CST 
Good!  One of the recent kdebase updates contained my attempt at a fix; glad it works properly now.
