ech0s7 · 2008-03-26 21:52:43

1) There aren't link to another partition on Desktop, and the parition doens't mount into /mnt with gnome-mount, it goes in error, while it mount fine into /media directory

2) If i try to compress a folder/file from nautilus with right click on it and make archive, (tar, tar.gz ecc..) file-roller goes in error, something as this:
tar: This not seems an tar archive
tar: Exit for error

3) If i try to sign/crypt a file with right click on it -->> Sign/crypt, it doens't work, No passhprase is requested!

Can you know how i can resolve this bug ?

I'm still running Gnome 2.20 but pretty much the same error happens with File Roller 2.20.3:

An error occurred while adding files to the archive.
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

Despite the error, which turns up every time, I've never had a problem opening or reading from the archive file that is created.

I get the same error when compressing files in gnome 2.20, but it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the archieves.

This is an issue in gnu tar. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-t … 00001.html

If you want partitions show on the desktop, I guess you want them handled via HAL automounting, and as such, they will always mount on /media

/mnt is for static mouting partitions via fstab on boot
/media is for dynamic mounting any volume (hdds, cd/dvd, usb drives...) at anytime

Other than that, you set your prefered options on gconf under /apps/nautilus/desktop so to show or not volumes icons on the desktop

Another problem I have with 2.22 is with the trash folder. For some 'small' (less then 200MB) file, I need to hit empty button twice to get the file deleted. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

If no solution arise, I think I'm going to switch to either Openbox + Thunar or KDE

I have a problem with the trash folder, but it differs a bit from yours. When I try to delete a file Nautilus warns me that it won't be moved in the trash then it will be deleted immediately.

As I readed somewhere, trash folder has moved from ~/ to ~/.local/share/ (in order to follow freedesktop guidelines), so I've checked out the permissions with

[root@theanswer ~]# ls -l .local/share/
[..]
drwxr-xr-x 2 giorgio users 4096  8 dic 14:53 icons
drwx------ 4 root    root  4096  2 gen 19:11 Trash

and discovered that owner is root unlike the other ones. I've tried to do some modification with chmod 777 and chown but the problem still remains.

Those Trash problems might be related to the migration from GnomeVFS to GVFS. I was using Gnome 2.22 from [testing] and experiencing those problems too, and bad FTP performance, random freezes on Nautilus, and so on...

Looks like they pushed GVFS but isn't top stable yet. Hopefuly, those bugs can be adressed on next update. So it's better if you go to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/index.cgi and report the bugs instead of posting it here - this is just Arch Linux forum, and those bugs appear to be upstream.

With Gnome 2.20 icons of partitions mounted via fstab in /mnt appeared on desktop. I think that there aren't benefits in this gnome 2.22 change, I want to mount my partition wherever I want and I want gnome to manage them and show the related icons! Why not?

Well, FWIW (and if I understand), I HAVE NOT installed Gnome 2.22 and my NTFS partitions from my Windows side of the house (ugh, but as a contract software dev I sometimes have to go there!) are displayed on the desktop and are not in FSTAB. This was a change from the "previous" way of doing things because ntfs-3g got updated a week or so ago and causes this. These partitions WERE in fstab, but since the ntfs-3G update, leaving them there caused them NOT to be put on my desktop. What I'm saying is that I don't *think* this is a Gnome 2.22 issue, as I have Gnome 2.20 and it works this way.

Bottom line, your statement of "with Gnome 2.20..." is not correct anymore since a week or so ago. I don't know how long you've ran 2.22, but this will happen if you go back to 2.20 as well I think.

I assure you that this morning I had 4 partitions monutend via fstab with a desktop icon putted by gnome 2.20, after upgrading to 2.22 icons disappeared... I still have 2.20 on my laptop, with a vfat partition mounted via fstb, icon is there on my desktop brought by gnome.

Me too. I have one partition mounted in /mnt via fstab and since the upgrade to 2.22 I no longer get an icon on the desktop, though the partition does show up in the Disk Mounter panel applet. What I've done in the meantime is created a launcher that opens the partition in Nautilus and also added the partition to Nautilus' bookmarks.

I lost my little trash applet and I can't get it back.

my Icons are toast ;-(

Mine disappeared too but came back after a restart. The only really irritating little problem I have left is the failure of "remember_numlock_state" to do its job - I don't really want to use numlockx because it doesn't change the LED indicator and so the LED ends up out of sync with the actual state of the numlock key.

icrave · 2008-04-06 20:35:53

My solution to the lost mount-icons was delete the conf lines of fstab.

If you do so you'll find all your data in /media instead of /mnt and all programs searching for dta stored there will crash...

Yes, I know... fortunately, there isn't a problem for me.

I was (until reading this post) having the same issue with the trash applet. Thanks

Also, I'm having the NumLock issue as well. I have to hit the NumLock 3 times to actually turn NumLock on. 1x to sync states, 1x to turn off, and 1x to turn back on. At least that is my guess as to what is happening.

On issue I'm having is with the volume control. While adjusting volume up and down, the channel is sporadically muted. Somewhat annoying, but by no means a deal-breaker.

Other then that, I'm very pleased.

Something similar has been happening here since the upgrade to alsa 1.0.16. It only affects the PCM sliders, which will become unlocked when being moved up and down. Fortunately, I gained a Master volume slider (just the one - not left and right channels) after the upgrade and use that for volume control now.

Volumes handled via fstab (/mnt) are NOT handled via HAL (/media), and vice-versa. People think it's a Gnome issue or anything, but its really that they just never spoted the difference from mounting via the old way (fstab) and HAL.

I guess it's needed to put this "fstab x HAL" info somewhere on the Wiki, a lot of people seem confused about it.

I was not talking abount mounting partitions via HAL. My initial post was to tell thet gnome 2.22 doesn't create an icon for partition mounted via fstab. Gnome 2.20 did it.

Raw-thumbnailer seems to be broken. In nautilus only blank borders are shown instead of raw-thumbnails.
