How do I request a backport for the gvfs patch? I can't assign the upstream bug to the gvfs associated package in this bug and I can't delete the association with the 'nautilus' package, although it is not relevant.
The rationale for backporting the gvfs patch is: 1. Upstream applied four patches to improve detection of drives in nautilus (four patches to add the g_drive_is_removable() function). 2. Three of the patches have been backported but the gvfs patch was missed. 3. The gvfs patch fixes the issue where USB drives are not shown in nautilus' sidebar if they are attached at reboot. 4. As far I can tell it doesn't introduce any new issues. (The purpose of the patch is essentially for gvfs to treat USB drives as external (removable) drives by using the information provided by udisks2.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1618370 Title: nautilus does not show external drives in sidebar if plugged in on reboot To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1618370/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
