Package: thunar Version: 1.6.12-1 Severity: wishlist Hello Thunar maintainers,
please consider recommending gvfs-backends in from Thunar. AFAICT, in a default xfce4 installation, Thunar displays the "Browse Network" (network://) area in its sidebar, but lacks the backends to actually open it (message 'Failed to open "/ on ".' / 'The specified location is not supported'). If you deem gvfs-backends too heavyweight for an XFCE4 desktop (I counted 9 new packages on a almost fresh install: libcdio-..., libgdata..., libgoa..., libnfs8, liboauth0, psmisc), please let me know and I'd rephrase this as a bug against gvfs-backends, "please provide a gvfs-backends-light" or similar (at least SSHFS and WebDAV are IMO reasonably to be expected from a network-enabled distribution). Other alternatives I'd see is giving a more descriptive error message with installation instructions (of whose difficulties to get it right upstream and cross-distribution I'm aware, thus my initial suggestion), or hiding the network area completely when not supported. Thanks for maintaining Thunar chrysn -- System Information: Debian Release: buster/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.12.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB:en (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages thunar depends on: ii desktop-file-utils 0.23-2 ii exo-utils 0.10.7-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.26.0-2 ii libc6 2.24-17 ii libcairo2 1.15.8-0.1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.11.16+really1.10.22-1 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.108-2 ii libexo-1-0 0.10.7-1 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.36.5-4 ii libglib2.0-0 2.54.0-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.31-2 ii libgudev-1.0-0 232-1 ii libice6 2:1.0.9-2 ii libnotify4 0.7.7-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii libsm6 2:1.2.2-1+b3 ii libthunarx-2-0 1.6.12-1 ii libxfce4ui-1-0 4.12.1-2 ii libxfce4util7 4.12.1-3 ii libxfconf-0-2 4.12.1-1 ii shared-mime-info 1.8-1 ii thunar-data 1.6.12-1 Versions of packages thunar recommends: ii dbus-user-session [default-dbus-session-bus] 1.11.16+really1.10.22-1 ii dbus-x11 [dbus-session-bus] 1.11.16+really1.10.22-1 ii gvfs 1.30.4-1+b1 ii libfontconfig1 2.12.3-0.2 ii libfreetype6 2.8-0.2 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii libpangoft2-1.0-0 1.40.12-1 ii thunar-volman 0.8.1-2 ii tumbler 0.1.32-1 ii xdg-user-dirs 0.15-3 ii xfce4-panel 4.12.1-2 Versions of packages thunar suggests: ii thunar-archive-plugin 0.3.1-4 ii thunar-media-tags-plugin 0.2.1-1+b2 -- no debconf information -- To use raw power is to make yourself infinitely vulnerable to greater powers. -- Bene Gesserit axiom
