GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 740221
Share name clashes
Last modified: 2021-06-09 16:07:43 UTC
Hi, I have the same user account on several systems. This makes it quite confusing when it comes to media servers, they are all named "Sven Arvidsson's media" with no indication of what system the files are on. In contrast, the personal file sharing function uses the name "sa's public files on gwynn" which is a little bit better, but often gets shortened to "sa's public files..." in the Nautilus sidebar. I'm not sure if this bug belongs here, or with gnome-settings, please reassign if necessary. Thanks in advance,
The name is configurable in the config. I'm not sure if that's editable in gnome-settings.
Great! That solves the problem for me. But I think it might still be a good idea for it to be somewhat more unique, or editable.
0.26 will have $user's media on $hostname as a default. Moving to gnome-settings for further discussion.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new bug report at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-control-center/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
