The upstream bug is marked a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765924, "Improve external drives detection" (which specifically mentions the issue of drives not being recognised if they are plugged in at login), and the fix according to this bug appears to be in commit https://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk%2B/commit/?id=55751fc.
So I got the ubuntu source for gtk+3.0-3.29.9, and it looks like it already has that commit in it. Firstly, it includes these files: ./debian/patches/0001-Improve-external-drives-detection.patch ./.pc/0001-Improve-external-drives-detection.patch and secondly, the changes in that commit is in the source for the files: configure.ac gtk/gtkplacessidebar.c gtk/gtkplacesview.c Does that mean the patch that is supposed to fix this bug is already applied in Ubuntu's version of gtk+? If so, it doesn't work. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #765924 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=765924 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618370 Title: nautilus does not show external drives in sidebar if plugged in on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1618370/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
