Bug#942449: xfdesktop4: Icons for hidden disk partitions are shown as removable on the desktop
Package: xfdesktop4
Version: 4.12.4-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Upgrading from Stretch to Buster made hidden drive icons of HD-partititions
appear on the desktop. It is impossible to hide them as before. This is
independant whether they are mountd or unmonted (when set to "noauto").
Those partititions are listed in fstab for manual mount by root only.
fstab entries are like this:
#/dev/sda1
UUID=ea5ad8...de2 /media/sda1 ext4 noatime,errors=remount-ro,noauto 0 0
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I have set up UDEV rules to hide those "drives" from users like this:
KERNEL=="sda1",ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
According to freedesktop-org documentation the "HintIgnore" property
property should:
If TRUE, the device should be hidden from users.
Thunar beheaves correctly and does not show those drives.
* What was the outcome of this action?
All worked fine as it should in previous Debian releases including
Stretch, but since Buster I cannot hide the drives anymore.
Clicking on them just tells me:
"could not be mounted, operation permitted for root only."
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Respecting the UDEV-rules and not show "dead" icons on the desktop,
where normal users do not have access to.
