Description lars.fricke 2016-05-24 08:41:17 UTC 
The mounted devices are not displayed in the drive line and not in the drive box. Access is only via '\media\USER\DEVICE\​​' possible.

Happens since Ubuntu 15.04 with Gnome Desktop and also on 15.10.
gnome-commander 1.4.7

could be connected to 348533
and to

Comment 1 lars.fricke 2016-05-24 08:52:24 UTC 
how to reproduce:
plug in USB drive and start gnome commander (or keep it running, both the same)

happens every time

expected:
drive will show in the panel and in the drive dropdown

actually happening:
no external drive is shown even it is mounted

additional information:
it could be gnome commander is looking for mounted drives in the wrong place.

Comment 2 Uwe Scholz 2016-05-24 09:51:50 UTC 
This bug is related to the switch from gnome-vfs to gio, see bug #589069. Still needs some time to be implemented. A current workaround is to dive into '/media/USER/DEVICE​​' as you mentioned.

Comment 3 lars.fricke 2016-05-24 10:01:49 UTC 
It does not seem a real duplicate of bug 348533. There it says: 
"When I restart Gnome Commander they, however, are noticed."

While in my case, I can not see the drives even the commander is restarted.
So it is either a different bug or 348533 is not giving the correct description?
I do agree it will be related to bug #589069.
Comment 4 Uwe Scholz 2016-05-24 12:03:09 UTC 
I have to admit that both descriptions are different. But the behavior of not recognizing the mounted device when gcmd has already been started is still the same. As it is is currently not even possible to get the device icon after restarting, the bug here is certainly more severe than bug #348533. Thank you for reporting, I remove the mark of duplication.
