Description

I found recently that setting /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible property to "false" makes that spurious icons to vanish. That is not a solution, though, as this also kills icons which were showing up for removable media. Apparently an underlying issue is that somewhere fixed and removable media got mixed up. That has much more serious consequences, like a huge security breach (see bug 401811), then an annoying visual clutter. No idea what is really responsible for that. It turns out that Fedora 7 has file /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/99-redhat-storage-policy-fixed-drives.fdi That policy file vanished from Fedora 8 and is also absent in rawhide. It looks that after it is restored and hald restarted then those "extra" icons as described do not show up anymore (and some other nasties with fixed disks also disappear). This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
