Package: gnome-volume-manager Version: 2.24.1-4 Severity: minor On Debian Lenny, if you'd plug in a USB HDD which is not labeled, then the volume manager would choose an arbritary friendly name for it like "disk" or "disk-1" (if "disk" was used already). On Debian Squeeze, if the drive has no label, it will be mapped with its long UUID. In the shell you'll then change to a path like "/media/14e11a9d-18ca-4079-b6c6-288bdc10ec16/" to access files and directories there. Of course the same will appear in Nautilus' address bar. If (for whatever reason) has one or more unlabeled drives, then accessing them will be confusing because you can't identify them without a friendly name. The long pathes are also hard to follow when you're on the shell.
As a current workaround, labeling the drive helps. The drive's label will then be served as the root of the mapped drive. gilzad -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31.12-rt20 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-volume-manager depends on: ii gconf2 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii hal 0.5.14-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.20-2 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.84-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libgconf2-4 2.28.0-1 GNOME configuration database syste ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.4-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.22.4-1 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnome2-0 2.28.0-1 The GNOME library - runtime files ii libgnomeui-0 2.24.2-1 The GNOME libraries (User Interfac ii libgtk2.0-0 2.18.6-1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libhal1 0.5.14-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libnotify1 [libnotify1-gtk2.1 0.4.5-1 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libx11-6 2:1.3.3-1 X11 client-side library Versions of packages gnome-volume-manager recommends: ii gthumb 3:2.10.11-3+b1 an image viewer and browser Versions of packages gnome-volume-manager suggests: ii cheese 2.28.1-1 A tool to take pictures and videos ii xsane 0.996-3 featureful graphical frontend for -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
