Nautilus freezes if gnome-mount is not installed

[Florian Hars]

Binary package hint: nautilus

(This is nautilus 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu4 on 8.04 RC)

If gnome-mount is not installed, nautilus freezes if you click on an unmounted partition. Likewise, the panel freezes if you click on the partition in the Places menu.
nautilus should either depend on gnome-mount, or handle this more gracefully.

This is the last thing nautilus does according to strace:

[pid 5465] execve("/usr/local/sbin/gnome-mount", ["gnome-mount", "-b", "-d", "/dev/sdb2"], [/* 29 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 5465] execve("/usr/local/bin/gnome-mount", ["gnome-mount", "-b", "-d", "/dev/sdb2"], [/* 29 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 5465] execve("/usr/sbin/gnome-mount", ["gnome-mount", "-b", "-d", "/dev/sdb2"], [/* 29 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)
[pid 5465] execve("/usr/bin/gnome-mount", ["gnome-mount", "-b", "-d", "/dev/sdb2"], [/* 29 vars */]) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory)

Thank you for your bug report, nautilus should likely depends on gnome-mount

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

could you get a stacktrace when nautilus hangs? the current intrepid version doesn't have the issue apparently
