Bug#617352: kdebase-workspace: NFS shares are not mounted as a user
Package: kdebase-workspace
Version: 4:4.4.5-8
Severity: normal
When applied to the KDE desktop can be a NFS share as a user directory from the NFS server can not be mounted. It appears on the screen an error message.
Drive can not embed. The error message reads:
mount: only root can do that
A manual mount the NFS shares works on the command line, however, correct. After an intensive search on the internet for a solution I have found following workaround.
If the link file of the NFS shares on the desktop line with the keyword "MountPoint" is deleted, the NFS share mounted as a normal user via desktop icon.
Example:
How not to mount.
[Desktop Entry]
Dev=redfox:/mnt/misc
Icon=folder-remote
Mountpoint=/mnt/share/misc
Read only=false
Type=FSDevice
UnmountIcon=nfs_unmount
How it works correctly.
[Desktop Entry]
Dev=redfox:/mnt/misc
Icon=folder-remote
Read only=false
Type=FSDevice
UnmountIcon=nfs_unmount
