Description Martin van Es 2009-01-02 21:24:38 UTC

Version:           4.1.85 (beta 2) (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I added a disk icon for a smbfs entry in fstab that points to a samba share on my network (noauto). All is configured correctly for the user to mount the share (ownership of the mountpoint and users set in fstab).
If I mount the share in konsole (as user) everything works fine. When I doubleclick the desktop icon (when the share is unmounted) I receive an error telling me that 'only root can do that'.

I would expect the doubleclicking of the icon to mount the unmounted share and open it, just like the command "mount /mnt/share" does in terminal.

This 'bug' is still valid in 4.3.0 and I'd like to add that it's a regression. This used to work in KDE3.

@Dario: could this bug be related to solid? Thanks.

I'm running Fedora 12 which has KDE 4.3.3-4 installed and this bug is still present and very annoying since my network drives are all flagged as "user,noauto" in fstab and I have icons to them on my desktop so I could easily mount them on demand like I did with KDE 3.5.

Comment 4 Rex Dieter 2009-12-07 20:16:09 UTC

confirmed... I think this is better off assigned to something solid'ish too.

Comment 5 Martin van Es 2010-08-14 16:21:50 UTC

Still no luck in 4.5.0

Comment 6 Kevin Ottens 2010-10-02 14:31:21 UTC

This thing is not handled through solid AFAIK. That's the old way of handling that using desktop files which is somewhere in KIO IIRC.

Comment 7 Nate Graham 2018-04-25 21:35:05 UTC

Works for me in KDE Frameworks 5.45.
