Description Dave Gilbert 2008-08-02 17:22:42 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Hi,
    I created an entry in fstab but forgot to add the 'user' entry to it; when trying to use the disk mounter app I get two error dialogues instead of one, each partially filled in:

For reference my fstab entry is:

/dev/mapper/sda3 /discs/crypt ext3 noauto 0 0

it's actually a device created using dm-crypt but that has already kicked in and the device exists.

Dave

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a mount which you don't have permission to mount as a normal user; in my case:
  /dev/mapper/sda3 /discs/crypt ext3 noauto 0 0
  the device exists.
2. Attempt to mount it from the disk mounter icon



Actual results:
2 dialogues appear;    1) correctly says 'Cannot mount volume' 'you are not priveliged to mount this volume.' This dialogue has no title bar title.
   2) A second dialogue with no text except a title bar title of 'Mount Error' (only partially visible but I get that from xwininfo), an OK button and the red error 'no entry' sign - but no other text.


Expected results:
That 2nd dialogue shouldn't exist and the 1st one should probably gain it's title.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
