I had a problem, not exactly the same but very close. check this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-list/2004-November/msg05754.html Basically, I configure the partitions in /etc/fstab and they show up in the Computer window but when mounting them they doesn't show up on the desktop. /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible is set to true. May be this is related to another issue I had. I mounted a photo camera in the USB port, it asked me if I wanted import the pictures, I hitted Cancel but there was no icon on the desktop to browse the files with nautilus.
Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the version to match. Thank you!
Closing per lack of response to previous request for information. This bug was originally filed against a much earlier version of Fedora Core, and significant changes have taken place since the last version for which this bug is confirmed. Note that FC3 and FC4 are supported by Fedora Legacy for security fixes only. Please install a still supported version and retest. If it still occurs on FC5 or FC6, please reopen and assign to the correct version. Otherwise, if this a security issue, please change the product to Fedora Legacy. Thanks, and we are sorry that we did not get to this bug earlier.
