images don't get thumbnailed on live CD

[Colin Watson]

Images don't seem to get thumbnailed on a current live CD; I haven't tried a fresh install. Perhaps this is a problem with inotify on the squashfs/unionfs filesystem?

[Henrik Nilsen Omma (henrik)]

I've encountered this as well (Flight 5). When I did an install of Flight 5 the thumbnails _did_ appear.

On the Live CD I changed the nautilus settings to allow making thumbnails on remote file systems, and then they appeared.

So for some reason nautilus on the Live CD seems to think that /usr/share/... is remote, at least when accessed through the symlink. I didn't try browsing there directly in the filesystem.

Confirmed on 20060404 daily. The problem is that the root filesystem is not in mtab, so gnomevfs can't determine its type.

checkroot.sh handles this when the root filesystem is listed in fstab, which casper used to do. Tollef, did you remove that code?

casper (1.42) dapper; urgency=low

  [ Luke Yelavich ]
  * casper-bottom/30accessibility:
    - Removed some settings from accessibility profiles as these are now
      in the relevant packages.

  [ Tollef Fog Heen ]
  * Make sure to call gconftool as the right user. Malone #38408
  * Write an entry for / in fstab. Hopefully fixes Malone #34330
  * Change gdm-cdd.conf if it exists, not gdm.conf. Malone #37467
  * Really disable update-notifier, this time by removing the correct
    file.
