No or wrong icons for filesystems

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Binary package hint: nautilus

I have a few disks in my machine, when I boot to ubuntu on one disk I can see icons for the partitions on the other disks, but the icons are 'wrong'. I can mount them and the icons on the desktop are also wrong. I would expect a disk icon (like the one in the screenshot for the drobo)..

In the screenshot note the 15G and 183G filesystems have wrong icons, but the drobo one is right.

In another screenshot (which I only noticed as I attempted to upload the first to this bug report) showing the file/open dialog, you can see _no_ icon next to the 15G and 183G filesystems.

Thank you for your bug report. As this seems to occur in Nautilus, GTK file chooser and gnome-panel, I'm re-assigning it to GLib for now. Do you remember when this stopped working? Does the same happen for other icon themes?

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Alan,

Would you also mind please posting the output of "gvfs-mount -l -i"

Thanks

I have the following kernels installed, and will try all of them:-

Thanks - that's interesting, as there doesn't seem to be any GDrive's for the filesystems that are displayed with no icons. Would you mind also posting the output of "devkit-disks --dump"?

Thanks

Just so you know, that was taken with the filesystems _not_ mounted. I just mounted the filesystems and this is the result:-

Attached is the result of devkit-disks --dump

Thanks. I wonder if this is something unique to your RAID setup? I will try and set one up tomorrow and recreate this to understand where the issue is. Re-assigning to gvfs for now.

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄 (popey)]

Ok, I replicated this on a completely separate system by crafting a RAID1 array on an SD card :)

Screenshot attached.

More interesting.. If I mount the filesystem (by clicking on it) as a normal user, it mounts fine. If I have a root nautilus window open (gksudo nautilus) then the filesystem shows up as mounted (correctly) and actually has an icon. The name is duff, but the icon is there... See screenshot.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

The clue is here:

"themed icons: [gdu-raid-array] [gdu-raid] [gdu]"

devicekit-disks uses new icon names for RAID members, and that might be causing your issue. Does the problem go away if you create an icon called "gdu-raid-array", eg by doing something like "ln -s /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/devices/gnome-dev-harddisk.svg /usr/share/icons/Human/scalable/devices/gdu-raid-member.svg"? (You might need to create the icon in some other sizes for it to show properly in the panel).

If that works, then this is probably an issue with the Human theme (it needs some new icons)

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Re-assigning this one to human-icon-theme - it needs a new icon for this (gdu-raid-array or gdu-raid)

I have a similar problem. No desktop icons for mounted partitions, but they show up in places and computer.
