I'd like to reopen this but for Hardy. There actually is a "Rename..." entry in the right-click menu for changing volume names but:
1- It is greyed-out in the right-click menu of a volume's icon in the desktop. 2- It's active in the right-click menu in Places->Computer (1 & 2 are actually quite contradictory.) 3- Trying to rename a volume via #2 causes an error dialog to show up (see attached picture) which means nothing to me. 4- It doesn't matter if you use Nautilus as the user or with "gksu nautilus" to gain privileges, the error is the same. 5- It doesn't matter if the volume is mounted or not; the error is still the same. 6- Changing the volume label with e2label (on an ext3 partition) does work only after a reboot. This is just a workaround and shouldn't be the way to go for a non-experienced user. ** Attachment added: "renaming_volume.png" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/13952078/renaming_volume.png -- rename a volume does not work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/107306 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
