Description Pablo Castellano (IRC: pablog) 2008-09-21 14:38:42 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
Original: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eog/+bug/272742



Binary package hint: eog

Intrepid Alpha6 fully updated.
When you have just installed ubuntu, you don't usually have the rights to mount volumes.

Eog does nothing when you want to open a folder, in this case a volume, that is not mounted and which you don't have rights to mount (yet).

The expected behaviour should be running policykit.
It's similar to when you want to access to a volume from computer:///... :
has rights? -> open
hasn't rights? -> ask password

ProblemType: Bug
Architecture: i386
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10
NonfreeKernelModules: wl
Package: eog 2.23.92-0ubuntu1
ProcEnviron:
 SHELL=/bin/bash
 PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
 LANG=es_ES.UTF-8
SourcePackage: eog
Uname: Linux 2.6.27-3-generic i686

Steps to reproduce:
1. File->Open
2. Click on a volume that is not mounted and which you don't have rights to mount.

Actual results:
Nothing, that's the problem.

Expected results:
Ask to mount that volume

Does this happen every time?
Yes

The correct component is GtkFileChooser from gtk+.
Comment 2 Felix Riemann 2008-09-26 10:05:40 UTC 
Re-Assigning to respective GTK+ contact.
Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2008-09-26 19:26:52 UTC 
Unfortunately, it will not work perfectly until bug 552168 is fixed.

        Bug 553133 – GtkFileChooser won't ask to mount a volume

        * gtk/gtkfilechooserdefault.c (shortcuts_activate_volume): Use
        a GtkMountOperation when mounting, so that we get a password
        dialog when required.
Comment 4 Pablo Castellano (IRC: pablog) 2008-09-26 20:07:42 UTC 
As far as I have understood, this bug will be automatically fixed when bug 552168 is fixed. Is it right?

Good job! :)
