Computer shows unnecessary mount points
Last modified: 2012-08-14 22:17:57 UTC
Please describe the problem: The place computer:// shows some unnecessary mount points. When I open Computer (or look at the sidebar in nautilus) I see the following icons: CD-RW/DVD-R Drive / /boot Filesystem Network The icons / and /boot are rather unnecessary since only root may mount /boot, and the / filesystem is already mounted (accessible via "Filesystem"). Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Computer 2. 3. Actual results: The icons / and /boot are shown. Expected results: The icons / and /boot should not be displayed. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: My fstab is as follows: proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 / ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noatime,noauto 0 2 /dev/hda8 /home ext3 noatime 0 1 /dev/hda7 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0

With the update to Nautilus 2.14 the behaviour shows on my Debian Etch machine, too. The Computer Place or the Places side-panel in Nautilus shows not only unecessary mountpoints but also partitions that are not even included in the fstab. It also shows duplicates if a partition is labeled. So i have a "5 gb datenträger" (= media) AND a "Mandrake" entry for the same partition. In case of the Computer Place this is annoying. In case of the Places sidepanel it totally ruins usability and confuses the heck out of my less computer savvy wife. If your require some special data, say so. I'm happy to provide any and all additional information you may require. Regards
I am using debian kernel 2.6.30 testing. This includes nautilus 2.28.1-1. Since a couple of weeks, after some updates, I have this behavior: 1) I mount (as usual) an encrypted volume file using truecrypt 2) On the desktop appears (as usual) the icon of the new drive, with the name "docs" given by the mount point "/media/docs" 3) Places reports two icons: one (correct) named "docs", which when clicked opens the right folder, and one (incorrect) named "2.1 GB Filesystem" which when clicked does nothing. 4) I mount a second encrypted volume file using truecrypt 5) On the desktop appears the second icon, but named "2.1 GB Filesystem" 6) Places reports three icons: one (correct) named "docs", and two named "2.1 GB Filesystem" Hope this helps
Computer is no longer shown by default.
