RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

I'm unable to "mount" more likely add local directory e.g. /var/tmp over Places-> Connect to server -> Custom Location -> uri /var/tmp

This was working on rhel 5.5. Directory appeared on the desktop with description /var/tmp over null.

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on gnome-panel -> Places
2. click on Connect to server
3. service type: Custom location
4. Location (URI): /var/tmp
  
Actual results:

Please enter a name and try again.

This is upstream bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=601848, posted a patch there. Waiting few days to get some feedback from upstream.
Comment 5 Tomas Pelka 2010-06-21 08:23:27 UTC 
No more mentioned error. Lubos please could you confirm?

nautilus.x86_64 0:2.28.4-11.el6

Thanks
Comment 6 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-21 08:45:29 UTC 
Hi,

the error message was changed to:

"Cannot display location "/home/". volume doesn't implement mount"

1) Which seems reasonable to me, if RedHat is not going to support this feature any more. In this case it's ok.

2) But if it should work, then I have to say that it's not working:

$ rpm -qa gvfs* nautilus
gvfs-fuse-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-obexftp-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-smb-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-gphoto2-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
gvfs-archive-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
nautilus-2.28.4-11.el6.x86_64
gvfs-afc-1.4.3-9.el6.x86_64
Comment 7 Lubos Kocman 2010-06-21 11:19:12 UTC 
As this seems to be expected behaviour I believe that we can move this as verified.
Comment 8 Tomáš Bžatek 2010-06-24 15:02:27 UTC 
OK, let's shed some light on how this works. Since transition from gnome-vfs2 to GIO the behaviour has changed a little bit. First, you shouldn't use plain "/home/" string as a URI, this should be file:///home/. This however still works in the Run dialog (Alt+F2 by default).

Second, there won't be any icon on the desktop as the local fs is always mounted, no matter what directory (we always fall back to root, except for some protocols). The philosophy has changed, you should use bookmark for this now, if you want to save the connection somehow.

So yes, this is expected behaviour. My change was to make the Custom URI entry work again.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
