"Done adding device ...."

[skeptic]

Every so often I get the familiar pop-up box in the upper left corner of the screen telling me it's finished adding my external USB device.  Same message every time, even when I'm watching a video stored on the device.  I don't have any problems with the videos stored there, no pauses during playback or anything.  It's not consistent, sometimes I can watch an entire video without noticing it, other times it's every 10 minutes.  I keep movies on that external drive, and MythTV recordings are done to my internal drive so I wouldn't think it's related to recording TV shows.  It's very distracting.

Anyone else have this issue?  Any ideas as to the cause?

Here is a small part of DCERouter.log.  I'm including everything within a minute of the device add.  I don't have anything configured for Asterisk, but in looking through the logs it appears there is an Asterisk message just like the one below right before adding the USB drive every time.  The external USB drive shows up as 7500AAK_External.

This is normal.

Wait, huh?  It's normal for LMCE to notify me every 10 minutes with a big pop-up that it added my external USB drive?  I don't care if it puts an entry in the log every 10 minutes, but the big blue on-screen pop-up every 10 minutes is annoying.

[tschak909]

it's a weird interaction with the pnp plugin. There is a thread here for changing the log level so that you won't see the messages.

Anyone else have this issue?  Any ideas as to the cause?

Thom has explained the cause... my answer in this thread explains a setting you can use for each MD's Orbiter to surpress these messages being displayed; http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=6705.msg41335#msg41335

All the best and Happy New Year!

Egg on my face for not searching better.  Following the suggestion in your other thread I set it to important.  Other than all, none, and important, what other options are there?

Hmmm... good question! A look at the sources will tell what they are... I'll have a look and post something here later.
