[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1670683] Re: Nautilus ignores "Documents" if it is a symlink to a NFS share
I created a test setup on a fresh Ubuntu 18.04 sudo mkdir /m /mnt/m /m/doc sudo touch /m/doc/test.txt sudo apt install nfs-kernel-server sudo echo "/m 0.0.0.0/24 (rw)" >> /etc/exports sudo systemctl restart nfs-kernel-server There should be no error. sudo mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/m /mnt/m Here neither. A `ls /mnt/doc` should contain the "test.txt" file. Now create a new user "tester" and log in via Gnome, so that the standard directories are created. back as admin user, delete the "/home/tester/Documents" folder, and do a ln -s /mnt/m/doc /home/tester/Documents Now I tested nautilus - and it worked. So IMHO this bug can be closed, at least for 18.04 it is working correctly now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670683 Title: Nautilus ignores "Documents" if it is a symlink to a NFS share Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Nautilus I have a NFS share where many Ubuntu desktops share the same remote folder as Documents (German "Dokumente") and Pictures (German "Bilder") folders.

Is that still an issue in newer versions? Is the folder showing if you quit/restart nautilus? ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: nautilus (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670683 Title: Nautilus ignores "Documents" if it is a symlink to a NFS share Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Nautilus I have a NFS share where many Ubuntu desktops share the same remote folder as Documents (German "Dokumente") and Pictures (German "Bilder") folders.

Additional info: the NFS share is mounted using /etc/fstab - so it should be mounted and available long way before GNOME/Unity/Nautilus starts -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1670683 Title: Nautilus ignores "Documents" if it is a symlink to a NFS share Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Nautilus I have a NFS share where many Ubuntu desktops share the same remote folder as Documents (German "Dokumente") and Pictures (German "Bilder") folders.
