GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 77168
[Solaris] Disk and CD ROM is not present on the disk menu
Last modified: 2009-08-15 18:40:50 UTC
Nautilus version 1.1.11. Procedure: Open Nautilus Select "Preference" from the edit manu Check the "Use Nautilus to draw desktop" checkbox in the Desktop settings Right click on the desktop No Disk & CDROM options are present on the Disk menu as in Linux.
Definitely should be fixed but not showstopper by any means.
Jacob, can you take a look at this? [Yes, welcome to the nautilus round-robin :)
what's in your /etc/fstab? which volumes are you expecting to be there? all of my user mountable partitions are present in my right click -> disks menu.
Jacob: This is a Solaris specific bug (as indicated in the OS field). I guess you have referred to linux, and yes, its working fine in Linux. Retitling summary too to indicate "Solaris".
Anand: you still haven't answered the questions, unless solaris doesn't have an /etc/fstab...
Apologies Louie and Jacob, for not being clear enough. There is an /etc/vfstab file in Solaris, the equivalent of /etc/fstab in Linux. Unlike Linux, this file does not contain any entry pertaining to automount of CD's. Sorry if you are already aware of this. But i thought I'll quickly go through the process in which removeable media are handled in Solaris. This is how i work with CD's and floppies in Solaris (Nautilus should be used to draw desktop): CD: Insert the data CD. It gets automatically mounted. A CD icon is placed on the desktop and a nautilus window opens up, displaying the contents of the CD. Floppy: Insert the media, run the commmand 'volcheck' on the command prompt. A floppy icon is placed on the desktop. Double clicking will then display the floppy contents in a nautilus window. After the media is mounted, i get the following entries for CD and floppy when i run the mount command. ================================================================= /cdrom/011016_1618 on /vol/dev/dsk/c0t2d0/011016_1618 read only/nosuid/maplcase/noglobal/rr/traildot/dev=16c0009 on Mon May 27 14:00:28 2002 /floppy/floppy on /vol/dev/diskette0/floppy read only/setuid/nohidden/nofoldcase/dev=16c0003 on Mon May 27 15:20:44 2002 ================================================================= Now, the problem is, in either case, i.e. media mounted or media unmounted, I am not getting any menu options in the right click on desktop; "Disks" menu. Unlike in linux, i get the "CD-ROM" and "Floppy" menu options in the right click -> "Disks" menu.
luis, i remember wipro people working on this stuff earlier in the project. is this not our responsibility?
Wipro: is this your bug as part of the removable media work?
Hi I am working on the RMM on solaris gnome. This problem is in nautilus/libnautilus-private/filesystem- attributes.xml. This file holds the entries for the file systems that a removable media(volume) can have. Here we need to add entry for "hsfs" file system for cdrom. pcfs/udfs for zip/floppy drive. I will be giving patch for the same soon.
luis, should i get un-cc'd from this? (should it get NOTXIMIAN keyword?)
Fixed in cvs. ChangeLog entry in nautilus: 2002-06-25 Rajeev Karale <rajeev.karale@wipro.com * nautilus/libnautilus-private/nautilus-volume-monitor.c finish_creating_volume(), adding code to handle pcfs related solaris specific issue. * nautilus/libnautilus-private/filesystem-attributes.xml.c Adding three more file system entries. Can someone make this resolved-fixed? I don't have bugzilla permissions :(
Closing then as per Rajeev's request.
Verified. Closing.
