Bug 131624 – Local mount points appear in Computer and Desktop.

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Pedro Castro 2006-04-28 17:09:57 UTC]

In Gnome 2.14, a local partition mount appears in "Computer" and on the Desktop as if it was a removable device. In my case, it's a fat32 partition with my user's UID and GID.

Are you running a kernel >=2.6.15? I saw this after upgrading to gnome-2.14 and booting gentoo-sources-2.6.14. Booting gentoo-sources-2.6.16 fixed it for me.

(sys-apps/hal-0.5.7 [dependency of gnome-vfs-2.14, which is required by gnome-2.14] requires a kernel >=2.6.15)

I am running a 2.6.16 kernel (r12). And the problem is still there, now that Gnome 2.14 is stable. A strange thing is, on another pc i have with Gnome 2.14 this doesn't happen. The difference is that on that pc i only install stable Gnome, and on the pc with the problem i installed Gnome 2.14 when it was still masked.

So, i'd say there is some package with a version superior than what's expected on stable Gnome.

what does:

gconftool-2 --get /system/storage/display_internal_hard_drives

say?

That returns false.

I can confirm on my laptop. gnome-volume-manager or nautilus sees my /boot partition (which of course is in /etc/fstab) and displays an icon in My Computer, whether the display_internal_hard_drives is set or not. There may be a logic error in there, maybe upstream knows about this?

As a side note, running g-v-m with -n (no deamon) does absolutely nothing either. I didn't find a proper way to debug it easily.

There is a bug report upstream:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343842

[Comment 7 Luis Medinas (RETIRED) 2006-11-12 20:05:41 UTC]

looks like this is still on 2.16 so we'll see what the upstream does about this.

[Comment 8 Pedro Castro 2006-12-01 15:06:07 UTC]

I've just installed gnome 2.16.1 on my testing system and this bug appears to be gone.

Marking fixed as per the reporter's comment.
