Description Canek Peláez Valdés 2005-04-10 19:22:42 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 ?
