Here are my thoughts on this... First an foremost, particularly on the desktop, Unity 8 should have some native way of viewing files on USB devices. There is not a very usable native file manager available on Unity 8 desktop, so that is problem number 1. Hopefully when full Gtk support is added and the ability to easily discover Gtk apps in U8 is implemented, something like Nautilus will just work.
The second problem, since there is not a very usable file manager, is using a Libertine container with some X file manager. This problem is probably more difficult to solve because we use unprivileged LXC's for Libertine on U8 desktop and due to how unprivileged LXC's work, access to USB (and SD card) file systems via bind mounts, is currently very difficult to achieve. We've spent time trying to make that work and had to de-prioritize it due the non-trivial nature of getting something to work. We are not LXC developers, so trying to get that to work is a very tall mountain to climb:) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1646655 Title: unity8 provides no way or means to access information on USB stick To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1646655/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
