Places menu available Computer menu item presents wrong place
Last modified: 2015-02-27 19:36:38 UTC
Dear Developers, I using my Ubuntu 14.04.1 system the GNOME Shell classic session with Orca Screen Reader. When I activate top bar and in Places menu click Computer menu item, Nautilus presents the / location (the root filesystem), not computer:/// place content (the all available drives). Testcase: 1. Login with your system the GNOME Shell Classic mode session if your distribution support this session. 2. Activate top bar and goto places menu. 3. Click computer menu item. Expected result: this situation because this menuitem labelled with Computer menu item, Nautilus need presenting computer:/// location to the user have possibility to access all available drives. Actual result: Nautilus simple opening the / location. If the user not have administrator privileges, not have adwantage for example to see the /bin, /etc, /dev folders and this folders content. In very old Ubuntu 14.04 supported GNOME Flashback session (the old GNOME fallback session with not supported GNOME level since I think GNOME 3.8) if I clicking places menu the Computer menu item, I right seeing computer:/// place content. My environment related informations: OS: Ubuntu 14.04.1 GNOME Shell version: 3.10 series Affected upstream releases: all releases, master branch source and gnome-3-14 branch affected too. I will attaching a possible fix short time later. Attila
Created attachment 287639 [details] [review] Fix patch for this bug I tested this fix in my Ubuntu 14.04.1 system the GNOME Shell 3.10 version. When I use this fix and clicking in Places menu the Computer menu item, I right see all available drives, and Nautilus presents right computer:/// URL content. The fix compatible with master branch version, but absolute sure compatible this fix with gnome-3-14 branch too. If the original working method is right, please tell me how can possible customize to the Places menu Computer menu item presents computer:/// content, not the / location. If my fix is right and the original working method is not, please commit this fix both master and gnome-3-14 branches. The fix affecting only one code line with places menu extension related. Attila
(In reply to Hammer Attila from comment #0) > When I activate top bar and in Places menu click Computer menu item, > Nautilus presents the / location (the root filesystem), not computer:/// > place content (the all available drives). True, but consistent with what nautilus does when clicking on the <hostname> item in its sidebar. As far as I know, the computer:/// URL is no longer a thing unless you know about it and enter it manually in the location bar ...
