[Bug 50860] Re: partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless
This bug is looking difficult to reproduce as the reporter has made changes to fstab, without it being clear what the defaults were or to what extent Nautilus should be able to cope with such a changed configuration. Please re-open if you can reproduce this issue on a default install (preferably Edgy). If you make changes to fstab, please document the changes and resulting effect clearly. Thank you. ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: Needs Info => Rejected -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

You forgot to add option 'auto' in the fstab line. I don't exactly remember its place, perhaps you should put it instead of 'defaults'. -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 50860] Re: partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless
Having fixed my fstab so the mounts are correct and uncommented, eg /dev/sda7 /media/sda7 vfatdefaults0 0 I now get this message: mount: only root can mount /dev/sda7 on /media/sda7 If I mount sda7 myself with the terminal, double-clicking the corresponding icon in Computer produces nothing at all. -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I'm using Dapper. I've made changes to my fstab. The problem appears to be that despite this, the Computer folder still shows all existing partitions, even if fstab mounts them elsewhere or does not currently mount them. -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your bug. What version of Ubuntu do you use? Is that entry listed to /etc/fstab? What sort of drive or partition is that? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) => Ubuntu Desktop Bugs Status: Unconfirmed => Needs Info -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Please check if you have deleted/commented partition entries from /etc/fstab accidentally. When I commented the entries in my fstab file then I got same errors. -- partitions are shown in Computer folder, but are useless https://launchpad.net/bugs/50860 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
