Files in administrator mode not showing other drive partitions #2134

Open sajidsadeem opened 1 year ago

sajidsadeem commented 1 year ago

What Happened?

Files in Administrator Mode (with root privileges to regular user and as Root user both) is not showing other drive partitions, it does show Home partition and Root partition, but no other partition. Opening Files in normal user mode shows those partitions without any issue.

I am on Elementary OS 7 Horus, Files version 6.2.2 last updated on Feb 03, 2023

Steps to Reproduce

Opened Files New Windows as Administrator by right clicking on the icon in the dock (with root privileges to regular user and as Root user both) It opens fine, asking for password It shows only Home and Root partitions, no other partitions on the disk Opening Files as regular user can see these additional partitions fine

Expected Behavior

Files in Administrator Mode (with root privileges to regular user and as Root user both) should show other partitions as well, not just Home and Root It used to show these partitions in the Elementary OS 6.2

OS Version

7.x (Horus)

Software Version

Latest release (I have run all updates)

Files deliberately does not show network and trash bookmarks when running as root as they do not work as root. There does not seem to be any different code for the device list however. So presumably the GLib.VolumeMonitor is only returning the root partition when running as root in your case. When I run as root, I get another partition which is defined in etc/fstab and this operates normally. Similar partitions on the same disk which are not defined in etc/fstab do not appear when running as root unless they have already been mounted as a normal user. Nautilus (Gnome Files) works in the same way.

This appears to be to do with the way the underlying libraries work rather than Files itself.
