Ubiquity proposed mount point /windows doesn't show up in Nautilus computer:///

[Jurgis Pralgauskis]

Binary package hint: nautilus

the ubiquity proposed mount point /windows doesn't show up in computer:/// , on Desktop and in Places menu

but it does show up in gnome-commander mounted partitions list

so I guess it's the problem of Nautilus
in case "mount" returns
/dev/sda1 on /windows type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096)
(it is ntfs partition)

thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug though but a design decision, only the user and media mounts are listed in GNOME

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

when do you get this mountpoint suggested?

[Jurgis Pralgauskis (jurgis-pralgauskis)]

in ubiquity, when choosing manual partition,
I had ntfs with windows install (may be it was labeled 'windows', not sure),
first I have to select the partition type, and after I select ntfs *
ubiquity proposed me drop down for mount point -- and it was '/windows'

* strange that I have to select it, as most likely ntfs partitions
will remain ntfs (or other way I'd most probably delete them before)

Don't worry, be happy and make things better ;)

issue remains in intrepid
would be much better if ubiquity would propose mount-points
/media/windows
/media/dos

instead of just
/windows (for NTFS)
/dos (for fat32)

Yea, I think this issue can be fixed with simple, 1 line (+translations)
patch against partman-basicfilesystems source package.

in debian/partman-basicfilesystems.templates file there are lines:

Template: partman-basicfilesystems/fat_mountpoint
Type: select
# :sl2:
__Choices: /dos, /windows, Enter manually, Do not mount it

This line should be changed to:

__Choices: /media/dos, /media/windows, Enter manually, Do not mount it

Also all translation files in /debian/po/ folder should be patched to
include /media before /dos and /windows

Jurgis, could you produce a patch against partman-basicfilesystems package
from Ubuntu 8.04 LT and Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid)?

Ubuntu developers, what about fixing this bug in 8.04.2 LTS version ?

I will fix this in Lithuanian Ubuntu 8.04 LT (Hardy) translation ASAP

I'm attaching a patch for Baltix 9.04 for distribution, which fixes default NTFS/FAT mount-point and ubiquity partitioning step width (see bug #364617). Patch should be applied against /var/cache/debconf/templates.dat and /var/lib/dpkg/info/ubiquity.templates
