Devices icons disappear from desktop and Places menu

[Omer]

Usually, the devices appear on the desktop and in Places menu in gnome-panel,
after a nautilus crash, the devices disappear from both places, and their label
in computer:/// changes to a unique lable (i.e.: 80G Media).

have you upgrade libgnomevfs2-0 between the 2 nautilus instances ?

[Omer (omeraloni)]

Don't quite remember, but it wasn't just a one time incident.
At the moment, my system runs latest hoary (just finished dist-upgrade), and
still their's no devices on the desktop and in Places, devices lable appear as
shown in 'nautilus-after' screenshot.

running versions:
nautilus 2.9.92-0ubuntu1
libgnomevfs2-0 2.9.92-0ubuntu2
hal 0.4.7-1ubuntu9
dbus 0.23-1ubuntu6

are these devices listed in /etc/fstab ? what kernel are you using ? are they
mounted ?

[Omer (omeraloni)]

devices are listed in /etc/fstab (they appear in computer:///) and mounted.
kernel is 2.6.10-4-686.
volumes_visible is also enalbed in gconf/apps/nautilus/desktop.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

I don't really understand this bug. The first screenshot seems to come from a
gnomevfs working without hal, the second one get the label from hal which is the
correct behaviour.
The menu/desktop issue should be fixed with the current kernel, have you
rebooted with the new version ? Is gamin running ?

[Omer (omeraloni)]

gamin is running, so as hald and gnome-vfs-daemon.
update: nautilus-before non relevant, devices appear only as shown in
nautilus-after, and do not appear on the desktop/Places at all.
i've also rebooted the machine.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

what do you have in your /etc/fstab ?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

no need of /etc/fstab in fact, the places menu and the desktop only displays
removables medias, this is the correct behaviour.

[Omer (omeraloni)]

Just got a fresh hoary install, and it doesn't seem to happen.
Guess all of those dist-upgrade's broke something.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

In fact that's a duplicate of #7616
