Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Reporting a problem found in Nautilus 2.20.0 in Ubuntu 2007.10
RightClick-Properties on a drive icon in the Computer view, and a popup
pops up offering the drive name in an editable field already selected.
Seemingly, changing the name there should change the name of the drive
or partition. However, whatever name is set, when the popup is closed,
the user is offered another popup with the following message:
"The element could not be renamed. Sorry, it was not possible to rename
<<Absurd preset name>> to <<Sensible descriptive name>>"
And, of course, the drive name remains as it was before.
Similarly, clicking on the icon offers a file chooser to select the
icon. After following the *tortuous* way to finding and choosing an
alternative action, clicking on open also fails, with the chooser
closing with no error message but Nautilus still showing the original
icon.
Using Nautilus as the superuser with "gksudo nautilus" does not improve
the situation.
