git ask for a dvd in dvd player.

[Chairn]

I installed git for windows 2.5.0.windows.1 and it is possible that i opened and remove a DVD while installing git.
And now, everytime i use git in windows command shell, i got this message for every command:
http://i18.servimg.com/u/f18/11/55/83/62/git__d10.png
It just says : "There's no disk in player. Insert a disk in player D:".

Please note that you can drag & drop images directly, no need to host them elsewhere:

Now, the most likely explanation might be that your PATH environment variable contains a reference to D:\... What does

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'

say? (Please paste as text, not as screenshot)

[dscho]

Oh, and it could also be the mtab or fstab files. Could you paste the contents of /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab, too, please?

[Chairn]

I think you meant %PATH% ^^:
E:>echo %PATH% | tr ':' '\n'

There's no D: in it.
I dont understand the /etc/mtab &/fstab, im on windows, not Linux.

edit: i disinstalled and reinstalled, still the same(and dvd player was empty this time).

[dscho]

Call Git Bash and you will see /etc/mtab and /etc/fstab.

[Chairn]

$ /etc/mtab
bash: /etc/mtab: Bad file descriptor
$ cd /etc/mtab
bash: cd: /etc/mtab: Not a directory

I really dont know what you mean...

[atrol]

/etc/mtab is a file, not a directory or executable.

cat /etc/mtab
cat /etc/fstab

is what dscho asked for.

Furthermore you will notice that the original command that has been requested by dscho will work now in Git Bash.

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'

[Chairn]

$ cat /etc/mtab
C:/Program Files/Git / ntfs binary,noacl,auto 1 1
C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin /bin ntfs binary,noacl,auto 1 1
C:/Users/Valentin/AppData/Local/Temp /tmp ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0 1 1
C: /c ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1
E: /e ntfs binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto 1 1

$ cat /etc/fstab

For a description of the file format, see the Users Guide

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

DO NOT REMOVE NEXT LINE. It remove cygdrive prefix from path

none / cygdrive binary,posix=0,noacl,user 0 0
none /tmp usertemp binary,posix=0,noacl 0 0

Well, git bash works perfectly fine, but not git in windows command.

[atrol]

Add also the output of

echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n'

to be complete sure that D: is not in PATH of Git Bash.

Its not in.

[dscho]

Does the message box also appear when you call git status in the Git Bash? Does it really appear with every command, or does echo 123 work without problems (or for that matter, git var -l)? What does ps -W in Git Bash show while the message box is shown?

[Chairn]

No, the message box was only appearing in windows command shell, not git bash(which works perfectly fine, but no scrolling :().
It didnt appear with every command. Okay, i think i can reproduce it now.
I started my computer, and git was working fine. I inserted dvd, and then removed it, now the message shows up again.
Here is what ps -W gives:
http://pastebin.com/eHGhcpg8

git status pops up the message only if its a git repository.
Other commands that pops up the message:
git
git commit
git push(pops up twice, once after i press enter, second after i entered my pw).
git checkout

commands that does not pop the message:
git stash
git branch

unsure ones:(remote didnt change so fetch does nothing for now).
git fetch
git merge

[dscho]

git status pops up the message only if its a git repository.
Other commands that pops up the message:
git
git commit
git push(pops up twice, once after i press enter, second after i entered my pw).
git checkout

Please set your environment variable GIT_TRACE=1 and then trigger the message box. The console should print the most recently launched Git command (which I suspect to lead us to the root cause).

I have the same problem. When I'm at work, everything works fine. At home, I get this popup each time I refresh Git Gui or gitk (which is often). Git Bash does not have this problem. This started after upgrading to Git for Windows 2.5.0. Git for Windows 2.5.1 is also affected.

I've figured out that D: is one the memory card slots in my monitor at home, which explains why the problem depends on where I am.

When I re-assign that drive to something else, say H:, then the problem disappears. So for some reason, git tries to access drive D:, but not drives E:/F:/G:/H:. I cannot figure out why git tries to access drive D:.

Using process explorer, I figured out that the git-process that gets launched by Git Gui is launched the following PATH (newlines inserted for legibility).

C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/libexec/git-core
C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin\

Using this PATH, I was able to reproduce the problem in a fresh cmd.exe shell.

With some trial and error, I came up with this minimal setup that reproduces the problem. (This directory is not a git repo.)

I'm stuck at this point. Any ideas?

[dscho]

The best idea would be to rebuild Git via the SDK after removing the -O2 flag from the Makefile's CFLAGS and then run git.exe in gdb.

However, this will take some time to set up and it will also download quite a bit of data. @odegroot do you have a chance to do that? If so, I'll try my best to walk you through the process.
