Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: Should this bug be really considered fixed? I mean there have been many duplicates of this bug recently and I think the new reporters experience this bug in the new 'fixed' package version. I would say that we should revert that mentioned last-moment change or implement possibility to use .hidden file for non-file objects on Desktop. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: Thanks Martin for showing how to do the HAL policy. Don't you mean we set those to 'true' for the ones we don't want to be displayed. My NTFS partition (/windows) is displayed and the policy file is set to false for NTFS. I'm goint to try just taking the rules for the VFAT and NTFS fs types out, with the assumption that it will result in VFAT and NTFS partitions mounted only in /media or /mnt being be displayed. I really think having a single mount point (/media) for all the automatically listed volumes is the way to go. I intentionally mounted my windows drive as /windows to avoid it displaying on the desktop. I agree with Jan that it would be ok for it to show on the Places/Computer. Perhaps a future feature would be a context menu of Hide from desktop for volumes gnome-vfs puts there. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: well, commenting out the rules for vfat/ntfs prevented mt NTFS partition from showing on the desktop, even when mounted under /media. I just commented out these two !--match key=volume.fstype string=vfat merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match-- !--match key=volume.fstype string=ntfs merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match-- Should setting them to true allow them to show on the desktop if mounted under /media? -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: @hva: you can customize it with your own hal policies, but I agree that the previous behavior with gconf keys was much easier; however, upstream removed it in the last minute; I was not really happy about that, but that's apparently where upstream wants to go :( @Jan: I specifically left VFAT and NTFS drives visible, since most users do want to see them for data exchange and such. We can change the defaults easily, no problem, we just need to agree to something that's sensible for the common case. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: Hi hva, I'm going to change the default to not show VFAT/NTFS drives, so that the only visible hard disk partitions will be those in /media, which you probably want. :) Anyway, this particular policy is in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi: !-- Here follow volumes we specifically want to ignore - it is the -- !-- responsibility of software higher in the stack (e.g. gnome-vfs) -- !-- amd mount programs (e.g. Mount() on HAL) to respect volume.ignore -- merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge match key=@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable bool=false match key=@block.storage_device:storage.removable bool=false merge key=volume.ignore type=booltrue/merge match key=volume.is_mounted bool=true !-- Show windows drives -- match key=volume.fstype string=vfat merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match match key=volume.fstype string=ntfs merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match !-- Show /media/ and /mnt drives -- match key=volume.mount_point compare_gt=/media match key=volume.mount_point compare_lt=/media0 merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match /match match key=volume.mount_point compare_gt=/mnt match key=volume.mount_point compare_lt=/mnt0 merge key=volume.ignore type=boolfalse/merge /match /match /match [...] The volume.ignore property is the key bit here; it defaults to false for hard disks, and needs to be set to true for the subset of partitions which should be shown -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Public bug report changed: https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/34886 Comment: The patch has been approved by the maintainer, it has been submitted by the guy who wrote a part of the gnomevfs hal code with that comment: Attached patch does two things 1. It uses new hal API to figure out details about crypto between crypted and clear volumes - this way we won't need to rely on a magic hal property; this also saves a single roundtrip to the hal daemon for every volume added - that's always good! 2. Removes the /system/storage settings - only the hal backend used these and there was never any UI to modify these. In retrospect these settings are kind of useless OK to commit? There are no string additions or changes; only removals. I've also tested this patch with a few different pieces of storage devices and it looks good to me. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
