GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 300119
Pluggin USB key doesn't put an icon in computer:///
Last modified: 2005-04-10 19:57:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: If I plug an USB key, HAL adds the corresponding entry in /etc/fstab, and mounts the key. However, there is no icon in computer:///. If I configure Desktop->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media Preferences to "Browse Removable Media When Inserted", the /media/usbdisk directory shows up; but computer:/// doesn't show any icon to represent the USB key. However, if I mount *any* other drive in computer:/// (a floppy, CD or my Windows partition), then the icon "262 MB Removable Media" shows up in computer:///. But I need to mount other drive for this to happen. I'm not 100% sure if this is a Nautilus problem, or one of Gnome-Volume-Manager. Steps to reproduce: 1. Plug an USB key 2. Open Places->Computer 3. Actual results: No icon representing the key appears in computer:///, although the key is mounted and /etc/fstab modified accordingly. The icon appears if I mount another drive in computer:/// Expected results: The icon "262 MB Removable Media" should appear in computer:/// without any user intervention Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: Gentoo 2005.0, kernel 2.6.11.5 (Gentoo version), with inotify Gamin 0.0.26 instead of FAM Nautilus 2.10.0 Gnome Volume Manager 1.2.0 HAL 0.4.7 (happens too with 0.4.5) D-Bus 0.23.4 (happens too with 0.23) All of them using ebuilds from Gentoo
This seems to be a duplicate of #173115. That's probably an inotify issue with gamin, could you open a bug on the gentoo bugzilla ? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 173115 ***
