Ubuntu (!) desktop shows only mounted disk icon
by jan128 from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5E413)
I may get chastised for posting Ubuntu stuff here, but I got a reason.
Too bad I cannot post a screenshot , it does not work...
Anyway
aver since I started using Ubuntu I was frustrated with all the mounted devices icons on left side of the desktop. Too cluttered for my taste.
Today I used "Disks" and mounted FIRST /dev partition - happen to be "EFI System Partition".
After reboot I got SINGLE disk looking icon where I used to have ALL the folders icons.
I can still access all the stuff on the disk...
Now I did same for another HDD - mounted "EFI System Partition" ( not a first partition on this disk) and it does not behave same as the first disk.
I get the icon, but no access to disk at all.
What gives ?
I realize this is NOT Linux topic - it is specific to Ubuntu , so I won't get uptight if only Ubuntu gurus reply, presuming they have a clue what I am writing about.
Cheers
