[hardy] on volume mounting, two nautilus windows are opened

[Hervé Cauwelier]

Binary package hint: gnome-volume-manager

For instance, when I insert a CD, I have two "cdrom0" windows for browsing the CD.

It also happens with USB keys but not NFS mounts.

Notice that CD and USB mounts are dynamic, while my NFS mount is written down in the fstab file.

This is gnome-volume-manager 2.22.0-1ubuntu2 and gnome-mount 0.7-1ubuntu1.

Thank you for your bug report. I can confirm this.

I can as well add that killing gnome-volume-manager results in only one window opening, as it should be. But surely in this case no automatic playback of DVDs, for example, will be available.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Indeed there is now a fight between nautilus/gvfs and gnome-volume-manager, which both mount and open new volumes. One should be silenced.

Sebastien, what should we use for automounting now? g-v-m or gvfs?

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

I personally think we should leave automounting to gnome-volume-manager, since it also applies the user's configured mount options and is able to mount encrypted drives.

[Hervé Cauwelier (hcauwelier-deactivatedaccount)]

Mounting encrypted drives is a must because I'll soon require it.

But I recently noticed nautilus gained its own mount options. Go to System > Preferences > File Manager > Media (last tab).

The gnome-volume-manager preferences dialog is far better. The nautilus (gvfs?) one should be deactivated and hidden in case gnome-volume-manager takes over.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Looks like g-v-m functionality is gradually absorbed into nautilus. I'll disable automounting and autobrowsing by default for the time being.

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-volume-manager - 2.22.1-1ubuntu1

---------------
gnome-volume-manager (2.22.1-1ubuntu1) hardy; urgency=low

  * Merge with Debian unstable. Remaining Ubuntu changes:
    - debian/patches/01_set_defaults.patch: Ubuntu preferences for programs:
      + Audio CD burning: brasero -a
      + Photo import: f-spot-import
    - debian/patches/07_low_disk_space_no_media.patch: Do not issue 'low disk
      space' notifications for volumes mounted to /media/.
    - debian/patches/95_ubuntu_auto_unmount_notifications.patch: Display
      'unsafe device removal' notification if a device is removed without
      being unmounted. (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutoUnmountNotifications)
    - debian/gnome-volume-manager.links: Add gnome-volume-manager-gthumb.sh
      symlink to /usr/share/gnome-volume-manager/, where it had been shipped
      in old Ubuntu releases. Since this cannot be changed on system upgrades,
      this needs to be kept indefinitely.
  * debian/patches/01_set_defaults.patch: Disable automounting and
    autobrowsing of drives and media, since this functionality gets gradually
    absorbed into nautilus. This breaks automounting of encrypted devices for
    the time being, though (this needs to be fixed in nautilus). (LP: #188004)
  * Drop Recommends/Suggests of gthumb and serpentine, we don't install/use them
    by default any more. (LP: #183278)

gnome-volume-manager (2.22.1-1) unstable; urgency=low

  * New upstream release:
    + debian/rules:
      - Remove moving of the autostart file as the location is fixed
        upstream now.
  * debian/control:
    + Move serpentine and rhythmbox to suggests. People who want the
      corresponding features should install them (Closes: #455467).
  * debian/patches/01_set_defaults.patch,
    debian/control:
    + Set autoprinter command to nothing as gnome-cups-add doesn't understand
      hal:// URIs. Thanks to Martin Pitt for noticing.
      Also don't suggest gnome-cups-manager for this reason anymore.

I confirm, the new version of g-v-m package fixes the bug completely.
