Qubes OS version:
R4.0
Affected component(s):
dom0's taskbar widget Devices, cdroms, dvds, users of mainly Windows VMs, users who do not use the command line.
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
In dom0's taskbar widget Devices (Yellow Icon), hover over your DVD drive, select to attach to (example: personal).
Open file application (example: Gnome Files).
Select "Other Locations" from side bar.
DVD drive is not displayed.
Expected behavior:
Able to mount DVDs with GUI.
/dev/xvdior/dev/xvdk?)/media/device1234because it displays in "Other Locations".I have three ideas:
In dom0's taskbar widget Devices (Yellow Icon), hover over your DVD drive, hover over target VM, new menu appears with
Attach Unmounted,Attach Read-only Files, &Attach Read/Write Files, select Read-only, notification displays with<device as named in devices widget>,<vm-name>,Device: /dev/xvdi, &Files: /media/device1234.In dom0's taskbar widget Devices (Yellow Icon), your DVD drive is listed more than once as
(Unmounted),(Read-only Files), &(Read/Write Files), hover over Read-only, select target VM, notification displays with<device as named in devices widget>,<vm-name>,Device: /dev/xvdi, &Files: /media/device1234.In dom0's taskbar widget Devices (Yellow Icon), hover over your DVD drive, select target VM, the following popup window displays, select Read-only.
Note: If this feature was used for, say USBs, then if the USB device
had multiple partitions, there would need to be a dropdown to select
which partition, with a dropdown option to auto-mount all of them.
All three ideas do the following under the hood:
/dev/xvdi)./media/device<4 digits>folder name that is not in use (example:/media/device1234).sudo qvm-run --autostart --no-gui <vm-name> "sudo mkdir /media/device1234/"sudo qvm-run --autostart --no-gui <vm-name> "sudo mount /dev/xvdi /media/device1234/"Actual behavior:
In dom0's taskbar widget Devices (Yellow Icon), hover over your DVD drive, select to attach to (example: personal).
Manually find correct mountable
/dev/xvdi,/dev/xvdk, etc.Google where (Gnome Files) needs the drive mount at to be detected (/media/).
Manually make directory
sudo mkdir /media/device1234Manually mount
sudo mount /dev/xvdi /media/device1234General notes:
