Bug ID: 427477
Summary: /mnt directory not visible in Linux file system /
Collection cannot be added from removable media
Product: digikam
Version: 7.1.0
Platform: Debian stable
OS: ChromeOS
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Setup-Collections
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I have installed digiKam 7.1.0 from Flatpak as a Linux App on my Lenovo Flex 5
Chromebook. The installation appears to have been successful.
I wish to add a Collection from an sd card and note that "removable media are
supported". The sd card has been "Shared with Linux" and is visible in the /mnt
directory via the Terminal. I can see /mnt and link to the sd card in other
Linux apps, e.g. Handbrake. However, the mnt directory does not appear in the
Linux file system in digiKam when selecting a Collection.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Share sd card with Linux in Chrome OS.
2. Open digiKam and go to Collections Settings.
3. Click on Add Collection and navigate to the top level directories.
OBSERVED RESULT
The top level directories are visible but not /mnt.
EXPECTED RESULT
/mnt should be visible allowing the sd card to be shared.
Note: The expected result is obtained with other Linux apps such as Handbrake
which are installed on the Chromebook and there is no problem reading from or
writing to the sd card.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Chrome OS: version 85
Linux: Debian GNU/Linux 10 (Buster)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The Chrome OS platform with Android apps plus Linux is becoming increasingly
popular. In the future I see great opportunity for widespread use of digiKam on
Chromebooks. It would therefore be good to provide a fix for this issue.
