In org.gnome.nautilus.desktop computer-icon-name and computer-icon-visible setting is missing
Last modified: 2012-11-07 05:24:11 UTC
Dear Developers, In Ubuntu 13.04 development release I experienced following problem when I listed org.gnome.nautilus.desktop schema the awailable keys with gsettings list-keys org.gnome.nautilus.desktop command: The computer-icon-name and computer-icon-visible settings is missing the awailable keys. I don't no this is only a downstream Ubuntu 13.04 specific issue or not, because Ubuntu 13.04 factory level packaged with following Nautilus version: 1:3.6.2-0ubuntu2 Possible this version a modifyed Nautilus version, similar with Quantal. The gsettings list-keys org.gnome.nautilus.desktop command show following keys: background-fade font home-icon-name home-icon-visible network-icon-name network-icon-visible text-ellipsis-limit trash-icon-name trash-icon-visible volumes-visible I using Ubuntu 13.04 development release with GNOME3 fallback session, this session Nautilus handles the desktop. The Ubuntu level packaged Nautilus versions happened following changes since Ubuntu 13.04 development opened: "nautilus (1:3.6.2-0ubuntu2) raring; urgency=low * debian/patches/15_use-ubuntu-help.patch: - Updated to not point to Ubuntu help when running GNOME (LP: #852911) -- Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@ubuntu.com> Fri, 02 Nov 2012 22:27:11 -0400 nautilus (1:3.6.2-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low * New upstream release. * debian/mount-archive.desktop: Fix minor Lintian warning * debian/patches/12_unity_launcher_support.patch: Refreshed * debian/patches/git_add_missing_tooltips.patch: - Backport patch from 3.7 to add tooltips to the new menubuttons -- Jeremy Bicha <jbicha@ubuntu.com> Wed, 31 Oct 2012 03:02:22 -0400 nautilus (1:3.6.1-0ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low [ Jeremy Bicha ] * New upstream release (LP: #1057780). * Dropped git patches * debian/control.in: - Bump minimum GTK & GLib * debian/nautilus.install, nautilus-data.install: - Install GNOME Shell search provider - Drop obsolete hicolor icons * debian/patches/05_desktop_menu_export.patch: - commented, it needs to be mostly rewriten for the new design or implemented in a different place or way * Refreshed patches: - 03_translations_list_update.patch - 12_unity_launcher_support.patch - 14_bring_del_instead_ctrl_del.patch - 15_use-ubuntu-help.patch [ Dmitry Shachnev ] * Drop 21_correct_timestamp_use_fix_focus_issue.patch, it's not needed with the new version and is causing segmentation faults." If I doed an unneed upstream report this bug related, very sorry and of course I will be report this issue under launchpad.net. Attila
The Computer backend has been intentionally removed from Nautilus 3.6 - you can access your devices or the hard drive root from the sidebar. Closing as NOTABUG.
Hy Cosimo, Thank you your answer. I little sad when I read your answer, because I think if sidebar are enabled Nautilus little slowest with Orca. So because now the computer icon possibility in the desktop removed, if the user not want enabling the sidebar always need going the places menu in GNOME3 fallback session and need selecting computer menu item if want browsing drives. Why keeped other icon types and why removed only the computer icon possibility the developers? Or future the other now existing desktop icon possibilities is removing too (present home folder icon, network servers icon, trash icon and mounted volumes icons)? Default the prewious existing computer-icon-visible setting value is false, so if the user not want presenting this icon the desktop, this icon default not present the desktop. Not have chance to this possibility are restore a new Nautilus 3.8 version? Attila
