Hi
Mount point /media/usb0 or /media/usb1 create durring installation make

For solve this issue i commented on /etc/fstab line which describe how to mount

Subject: this is not only about kde

severity 757413 serious

I can confirm this bug. A line for /dev/usb0 in /etc/fstab breaks
mounting under KDE because any USB stick gets mounted at /media/usb0 as
root and read-only for user before KDE can mount it at /meda/user/LABEL.
Worse, the same problem occurs in a Gnome sessions.

I have recently installed three Jessie systems and it turns out that
such a line was left in /etc/fstab on the one machine where I had
inserted an USB stick with firmware when I was prompted to do so during
installation:
/dev/sdd1       /media/usb0     auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

This line is absent on the other two machines where I didn't need any
firmware.

This bug is serious since it breaks other packages, notably it
completely breaks USB stick mounting for ordinary users in the default
desktop environment.

I suppose the line in /etc/fstab ought to be removed after the
debian-installer is finished with the firmware.

Cheers
   -rbk.

Agreed totally. We've already fixed this in partman-target a few days
ago, it just needs to migrate into testing for it to be used in our
Jessie installer images. Should be soon, I hope.

Because you might have had some good reasons, so I thought I'd wait for
some feedback before removing the tags.

ah!

feel free to directly adjust bugs I tag (or otherwise triage, really), 
especially as long as I'll see them that I can always correct / reply. And 
usually you are more knowledgable about d-i anyway.


cheers,

ends up)

No argumentation, so removing tags again.

Meh,

the bug shows up on 
http://udd.debian.org/bugs.cgi?release=wheezy&rc=1&sortby=id&sorto=desc&ctags=1 
- and as thus gets on the radar of people caring about fixing RC bugs in 
stable and AFAICS this bug is not RC for wheezy. So I would like it to not 
show up on that URL...

So, shall we tag it wheezy-ignore instead? (so cc:ing -release@ for input.)


cheers,
	Holger

I'm not sure what your “AFAICS” covers. I've already explained this code
has been here for 10 years. People have already complained about this
against wheezy. Looking at bug reports whose title contains fstab lets
you find some occurrences.

Can we please try not to sweep it under the rug, and instead try to
reproduce + fix it?!

the impact is less severe on wheezy, again AFAIK.

Making it not ring unneeded alarms is not sweeping it under the rug. That 
said, I'll leave the bug alone now.

Who said they are unneeded? That's what I asked in my first reply. You
didn't mention anything. And now you're tagging that bug report again,
without any further explanations.

Letting that bug report in a proper state means we have a chance that
someone who cares actually investigates the wheezy situation instead of
wild guessing. That means possibly landing a fix in wheezy. That's been
my plan from the start, I'd appreciate not having to fight to keep the
bug report in a suitable state…
