Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1283246
External USB disk is not visible in Nautilus (not even in Other Locations), if it is connected after login
Last modified: 2015-11-23 15:56:43 EST
Description of problem: I have an external USB disk. In Fedora 22 there was no problem accessing it from Nautilus. With my current Fedora 23, I don't see it in Nautilus at all (even in Other Locations tab), even though it is mounted correctly (accessible e.g. from gnome-disks). I see nothing wrong in the log to discover why this was not made visible in Nautilus: Nov 18 14:41:10 dryad kernel: scsi 4:0:0:0: Direct-Access WD My Passport 0748 1010 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Nov 18 14:41:10 dryad kernel: scsi 4:0:0:1: Enclosure WD SES Device 1010 PQ: 0 ANSI: 6 Nov 18 14:41:10 dryad kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 Nov 18 14:41:10 dryad kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdb] Spinning up disk...

But it's never visible. However, I found out that if I connect the disk in GDM, before logging in, I can then see it in Nautilus just fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-shell-3.18.2-1.fc23.x86_64 nautilus-3.18.2-1.fc23.x86_64 gvfs-1.26.2-1.fc23.x86_64 kernel-4.2.6-300.fc23.x86_64 How reproducible: seems always
I have found out that this issue is caused by nautilus-3.18.2-1.fc23.x86_64. After downgrading it to nautilus-3.18.1-1.fc23.x86_64, everything works perfectly.
Please note this does not affect flash drives, only external HDDs. I assume they present themselves differently to the system. This could help (this is my external HDD): $ udevadm info -p $(udevadm info -q path -n /dev/sdb) P: /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/host8/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0/block/sdb N: sdb S: disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Passport_0748_575832314333323439393231-0:0 S: disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 E: DEVLINKS=/dev/disk/by-id/usb-WD_My_Passport_0748_575832314333323439393231-0:0 /dev/disk/by-path/pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 E: DEVNAME=/dev/sdb E: DEVPATH=/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:14.0/usb2/2-1/2-1:1.0/host8/target8:0:0/8:0:0:0/block/sdb E: DEVTYPE=disk E: ID_BUS=usb E: ID_INSTANCE=0:0 E: ID_MODEL=My_Passport_0748 E: ID_MODEL_ENC=My\x20Passport\x200748 E: ID_MODEL_ID=0748 E: ID_PART_TABLE_TYPE=gpt E: ID_PART_TABLE_UUID=a7761004-7216-48a1-8d41-b34a1d80cb45 E: ID_PATH=pci-0000:00:14.0-usb-0:1:1.0-scsi-0:0:0:0 E: ID_PATH_TAG=pci-0000_00_14_0-usb-0_1_1_0-scsi-0_0_0_0 E: ID_REVISION=1010 E: ID_SERIAL=WD_My_Passport_0748_575832314333323439393231-0:0 E: ID_SERIAL_SHORT=575832314333323439393231 E: ID_TYPE=disk E: ID_USB_DRIVER=usb-storage E: ID_USB_INTERFACES=:080650: E: ID_USB_INTERFACE_NUM=00 E: ID_VENDOR=WD E: ID_VENDOR_ENC=WD\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20\x20 E: ID_VENDOR_ID=1058 E: MAJOR=8 E: MINOR=16 E: SUBSYSTEM=block E: TAGS=:systemd: E: USEC_INITIALIZED=3321421257
Nautilus use a copy pasted widget from gtk+ (the Other Locations), the fix for this is in the sidebar, which is gtk+ 3.18.5. For a complete fix you need both gtk+ 3.18.5 and nautilus 3.18.2 and those releases need to go together.
OK, with gtk3 3.18.5 this is fixed, thanks. It's part of this update, but added later, so it's still not yet synced to updates-testing repo (that's the reason I did not have it): https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2015-2e33c48936
Thanks. I've now also built nautilus-3.18.2-2.fc23 that adds a hard dep on gtk3 3.18.5, to make sure these two get updated in lockstep.
