Bug ID: 409592
Summary: Unnecessary remote and devices items in file dialogs
Product: frameworks-kio
Version: 5.54.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Places

Screenshot of Dolphin highlighting the extra entries
SUMMARY
The Places panel should exclude items in `/etc/fstab`, because they can be
accessed using the directory tree in the usual way. However, in all KDE Plasma
versions I’ve encountered I get at least some of the local filesystems in the
Devices section and usually all of my NFS shares in the Remote section of the
Places panel. (At least the latter might actually be the designers’ intention
although I find it unsettling.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create an installation with multiple filesystems and NFS shares.
2. Open up Dolphin or any standard file dialog.
3. Look at the Remote and Devices sections of the Places panel.
OBSERVED RESULT
At least some of the `fstab`-mounted filesystems appear in the Devices section,
and all of the NFS shares in the Remote section.
Also, I couldn’t reproduce it in a virtual machine but sometimes filesystems
mounted by their UUID’s but having disk labels as well appear multiple times in
the panel.
EXPECTED RESULT
Entries from `/etc/fstab` should be excluded. Any device should have at most a
single entry.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (kernel 4.19.0-5-amd64)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54.0
Qt Version: 5.11.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Sample `/etc/fstab` from the virtual machine I produced the attached screenshot
with. The root directory appears as the “36.0 GiB Hard Drive” in the Devices
section, and the NFS shares in the Remote section.
