File manager -> Devices -> directory not valid
Posted: Mon Oct 18, 2021 4:12 pm
Hello:
On my Devuan Beowulf installation with XFCE4 and a backported kernel ...
... when I open the filemanager (PCManFM 1.3.1) and go to the Devices folder, I can see all my drives.
But when I click on any of them I get this:
The taskbar for this example reads: computer:/Hitachi HTS543216L9SA00: 160 GB Volume
I think there is something wrong here but I can't find what it could be.
Note: when inserting a CD/DVD in the onboard CD/DVD unit, it shows up under 'Devices' and I can read the disk by clicking on it with no issues.
Any ideas as to why this happens or how to troubleshoot it?
Thanks in advance,
A.
