[Bug 246462] Re: nautilus can't see/set file permissions via ftp

2010-09-01 Thread Lawrence Rust
I've written a patch (attached) to gvfs that enables permissions to be read - which I've been using for a week or so. I have also written code for the set operation but it needs a little bit more work to tidy up, which I'm prepared to do if it's going to be adopted by Ubuntu. I have submitted the

The patch in comment 8 is incomplete. There are 2 further errors in vfat.c that need to be fixed relating to the size of the ms_dummy2 and vs_dummy2 fields. The attached patch is correct for the latest version 2.16.1. ** Attachment added: "Patch for 2.16.1" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/33031

Apologies for the delay in replying but I've been away for the last week. I fully take on board your comments and have reviewed the code in util- linux-ng-2.15, noting that libblkid now uses a completely rewritten method of probing for file systems. It's clear that this problem stems from the new

I don't agree, this is a bug either in the base version of e2fsprogs used or in the Ubuntu patches. To prove this I built the latest e2fsprogs-1.41.9.tar.gz from SourceForge and ran sudo /home/lvr/e2fs/sbin/blkid -c /dev/null /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: LABEL="boot" UUID="41584c58-0cef-4d78-acd1-9a01ebd

blkid -p /dev/sdb1 /dev/sdb1: ambivalent result (probably more filesystems on the device) Looks like a bug in libblkid. I mounted an 8.04 system partition and ran /mnt/sblin/blkid and that also failed to identify sdb1 (it works correctly when running 8.04). Unfortunately/predictably LD_LIBRARY_P

I can confirm this bug on a b/w G3 which was upgraded from Gustsy 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22). Interestingly, the 2.6.24 kernel can be booted by specifying "Linux root=/dev/hda3" at the yaboot prompt. The system functions OK but without a CDROM. This lead me to consider that it was the secondary IDE c
