Gnome: No "Mounted" Volumes in Computer:/// [SOLVED]

Hello,

I'm fairly new to Arch and pretty used to having Debian set most of this stuff up for me. I have several mounted volumes in /etc/fstab that are not showing up in computer:/// in Gnome. In fact... none of my mounted volumes show up in there. The only volumes in there are the "unmounted" volumes, which I believe is due to the magic of gnome-vfs. Anyone know how to get my "mounted" volumes to show?

Thanks!

Swill

And you ate the whole... wheel of cheese? How'd you do that? Heck, I'm not even mad; that's amazing.

Is gnome-volume-manager installed?


Even a chicken can install Debian, when you put enough grain on the enter key.

Nautilus only shows partitions managed by hal. Partitions listed in /etc/fstab aren't managed by hal, so nautilus won't show them.

You don't need gnome-volume-manager anymore these days, all functionality for mounting and unmounting has been integrated in nautilus now.

Ahh, it turns out my issue was a combination of gnome-vfs and group perms. I commented out my volumes from /etc/fstab and added myself to the storage, disk, and optical groups. After a reboot (probably could have just restarted X and hal) everything now shows up in Places and computer:///.

You should remove yourself from the disk group, it's a security risk to be member of that group. Hal doesn't do anything with the disk group.
