PCManFM

[BoDiddley]

I am at the highest level of PCManFM, however - it displays everything but the user files for the open operating system (Debian). In other word, I can see all mounts - other OS's and USB harddrive, but my current file system is not present. Of course I can access my files in LXTerminal, but how do I display them in PCManFM.

Do I need the gvfs-backends,or gvfs-fuse?

Thanks

Have you looked in /etc/fstab to see if your / partition is entered in there? And that it looks somewhat like my entry.

# Pluggable devices are handled by uDev, they are not in fstab
/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults,noatime 1 1
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0622 0 0
# Dynamic entries below

your /dev/sdX / will be different from mine like /dev/sda1 or /dev/sda2 but the / and type of file system (ext3,2,or 4) should come after. I gave up on pcmanfm but I realize you have it interlaced with LXDE. Also are you using separate kernels like 2.6.32 and updated to 2.6.35 or whatever.

Because 2.6.32 kernels use /dev/hdx while the newer kernels use /dev/sdx in /etc/fstab. I ran into this situation with a liqourix kernel install. So I had to edit fstab and use UUID= to straighten things out.

Thanks, but that is a bit intense for me at this point.... trying not to break anything. For now I simply installed XFE. XFE looks directly at my file system and no others. I will use PCManFm when I want to search other partitions.
