As working on the laptop misc release of AGNOSTEP Desktop, I confirm
the following notes:
I finally found this got round:
1- Removing all lines in the 'mount points for removable media' of
'SystemPreferences/Volumes' tab.
2- Using the dockapp wmudmount.
Now, when a removable disk is mounted with wmudmount, its expected
icon is
shown on the desktop of GWorkspace. So we can say GWorkspace
auto-detects the
mounted disk, without the need of the '#E' command.
Of course, because, the 'mount points for removable media' has been
emptied,
the ghosted icons issue does not happen if we use '#E' now.
I know this is not an explanation of the issue, just a work around to
avoid
it. And maybe it could not work on another system than Pi.
So I noted the same behaviour on my Intel MacBook:
The well working settings:
- Declaring removable medias in /etc/fstab, not in 'SystemPreferences
> Volumes': so COMMAND+E is useless, but also it does not produce the
issue anymore.
- Using wmudmount (itself using udisks2 daemon) to mount (or the mount
command within Terminal) to mount a plugged media.
- Now GWorkspace shows mounted icons on the desktop as expected.
- You can ever dismount the media with DND on the Recycler or using
wmudmount or the 'umount' command.
No hurry as I got and confirmed this workaround.
Cheers,
Patrick
