Bugzilla – Bug 121868
media:/ in konqueror does not work with vfat partition on SUSE 10.0 Live DVD
Last modified: 2006-01-30 12:44:40 UTC
After booting the live DVD with an external USB disk connected, konqueror cannot display the content of the vfat partition on this disk. Loading of the corresponding window never stops and it stays therefore empty. Konqueror can, however, without problems display the content of the reiserfs partition on the same USB disk. Listing the content of the vfat partition from command prompt works without problems, however. I consider this a critical bug on a trial system, where new customers should be convinced how easy it is to access their former data.
Konqueror works with the USB disk vfat partition, when the disk gets physically connected AFTER booting from Live DVD.
hmm, no Live CD Component
please provide fdisk -l lshal /var/log/boot.msg /var/log/messages after booting with live dvd and connected drive.
Created attachment 54054 [details] the requested info
status change after providing the information
Please don't set bugs which are assigned to us (BNC-Screening-Team) from NEED to ASSI yourself. Because we are not the assignes here... thanks.
fine, so how do I change the status from NEEDINFO to something else after having provided this info?
You don't change it at all ;)
Tricky, how do you people then find out when creating Bugzilla reports, where the needed info has been delivered?
You say in initial comment that you can access the vfat partition from command line, but cannot in konqueror. Right? Can you please show us the output of 'mount' in the critical situation? BTW: you attached boot.log (which is empty) instead of the requested boot.msg. But does not matter. I don't need that now.
Here is the desired output: linux@linux:~> mount /dev/root on / type iso9660 (rw) /dev/root on / type iso9660 (rw) proc on /proc type proc (rw) sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw) tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,mode=0620,gid=5) /dev/sda5 on /media/usbdisk type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=ext3) /dev/sda1 on /media/EXTFAT type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid,utf8=true) /dev/fd0 on /media/floppy type subfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,sync,fs=floppyfss,procuid) linux@linux:~> ll /media/EXTFAT/ insgesamt 134656 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 245802 2005-10-10 16:45 CD_Crescendo_78.pdf drwxr-xr-x 23 root root 16384 2005-08-06 13:41 Documents -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 886 2005-10-07 06:20 md5sums -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 137385216 2005-10-08 17:04 Plattenprisma-2005-10-08.mpa -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1485 2005-10-08 17:04 Plattenprisma-2005-10-08_X.log drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 16384 2004-12-31 09:41 Recycled -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 98227 2005-10-10 15:09 RSOtour.rtf drwxr-xr-x 35 root root 16384 2005-11-19 20:03 sw drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 16384 2005-06-11 08:33 System Volume Information -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 5737 2005-10-10 15:54 Torino.sxw -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2043 2005-10-10 16:02 Zugang.html linux@linux:~>
From my point of view it looks correct so far. Coolo, please have a look what might go wrong with konqueror. lshal is in attachment 54054 [details]
As subfs is dropped, looking at it doesn't make sense anymore - we will have to review the situation when the 10.1 live DVD should be mastered.
