Arch Linux

Same issue here...

What do you have on your ~/.gtkrc-2.0 did you set-up correctly the iconset ? I am seeing the icons of a flash drive right now ... seems to be a bad configuration, could you try to config your .gtkrc-2.0 properly then try again and confirm if persist? (you could use lxappearance to config your icons)

I suppose this is not a problem of iconset. I'm able to make drive icons show in the left panel if mounting the drive manually while pcmanfm is running (the creator of this issue reported the same thing). However icons will not show when drives are mounted when pcmanfm is not running.

It seems to me pcmanfm fails to add drives when starting and works fine on notifications of drive changes.


1. run pcmanfm from a terminal -> no icons
xxxx@xxxx ~$ pcmanfm
** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sr0
** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: device_added: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda

** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: FmJob error: No such file or directory
** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: FmJob error: No such file or directory

2. mount a drive manually and the icon of this drive shows even if the mount command fails. drive icons show in both cases below.

xxxx@xxxx ~$ udisks --mount /dev/sda1
Mounted /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1 at /media/win

** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: on_idle: 1
** (pcmanfm:1833): DEBUG: g_udisks_device_changed

3. Quit and re-run pcmanfm. No icons again.

I remember that icons were on the left side before the update, and i confirm that sometimes, when i mount a removable device, i can see the icon.

But before, i could see icons of all the partition/disks i had on my pc. Now only the mounted one (and not always).

And that's strange, i have no .gtkrc-2.0 file on my home.

Same behavior on my x86_64 Arch.

Ok I will paste to you some of my configurations and my packages .. I am not able to reproduce your bugs, for me is going well (maybe is a missconfiguration or something). In fact everything automount I don't have to type the command (but I've tested typing the command too)

.gtkrc-2.0 (I used lxappearance part of LXDE):

packages:

* pcmanfm 0.9.8-5
* udisks 1.0.3-2
* libfm 0.1.14-5
* tangerine-icon-theme 0.26-5
* consolekit 0.4.4-1

* screenshot (yes is working)

So in resume, wfm ... :/

Sorry for the re-opening. I looked at the screenshot you made and think it doesn't work for you either.

For logs of pcmanfm, there are several drives (sda1/2/5/6/7 and sdb1) on your system, but only the icon for sdb1 is showing. When everything works, icons for all drives should show.

And in your case, does sdb1 show after it is mounted when pcmanfm is running? If pcmanfm is closed and rerun, does the icon still show?

Please check the steps I post.
Thanks.

Forgot to mention: for packages listed, we have the same versions installed.

Ok I now understand what happening to you, and seems a bug (or functionality non coded in fact) from pcmanfm people.

I mean, the real problem is ... pcmanfm doesn't check mountpoints when starts, he just checks usb drives and cds.. but not partitions which are mounted.

The tests worked for me 'cause I'm using an external usb drive to test (those sda{1,2,5,6,7} where mounted on my installation (/boot,/,/var,/home), *but*, on my laptop where I have a partition which isn't on my fstab (and not mounted) the bug reproduces it, so you re right, I have to mount it manually to see it, and then if I restart pcmanfm I can't see it anymore even if it's mounted..

So since this it's upstream, I will close the bug, waiting for a patch or something from PcmanFM developers. and report the bug upstream.

Thanks for the patience here

Digging around I found this:

Upstream Bug: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=3172701&group_id=156956&atid=801864

http://wavesofthefuture.net/computers/quelitu-lubuntu-guide-increase-speed-windows-computer.shtml (Search "PCManFM 0.9.8 Bug: Fails to Mount Volumes/Windows Partitions--Three Solutions") Suggested by someone on the ticket ... Not that I like it at all ... but since this it's upstream we just can wait...

Let'm wait since it is confirmed to be a bug in pacmanfm.

Thank you for taking time to look at this.

I will close this bug for two reasons:

1.- New pcmanfm 0.9.9 is coming soon and have a lot of fixed bugs
2.- pcmanfm as lxde is now part of community so this is not the right section on the bugtracker ..

In any case on pcmanfm 0.9.9 this still happens, then open this bug on community, assign it to myself, and I will put this bug as a bug related.

Let's hope this it will be fixed on 0.9.9
