Dolphin and cli are in conflict and NFS mounts have failed

I am in some sort of trouble with my system since I thought I had recovered from Plasma 6 upgrade. If I list the directories in my home directory I have:-

alastair@HP-Z640-1:~> ls -l

This is pretty much what I expected to see but the NFS system mounts are no longer working. Here is a screen shot of my Dolphin home screen:-

Where are my directories for the NFS mounts and why do they not show in Dolphin?

2

Hmmm. Interesting. At first, I was going to guess there’s a setting in Dolphin to show,
“only show files for the current user” or
“hide files owned by root”,
but I seriously doubt those exist.

3

I can’t see anything that would set that as a preference and places suppression doesn’t impact root owned mounted dirs (nfs/samba) for me. Still, possibly worth killing Dolphin and moving?:

~/.config/session/dolphin_dolphin_dolphin
~/.config/dolphinrc
~/.local/share/dolphin/view_properties/global/.directory
~/.local/share/dolphin/dolphinstaterc

4

Forgive me but how should I kill Dolphin?
Regarding the moving; there is no ~/.config/dolphinrc.
I can move the rest but how much will be re-built if I reboot?
Grateful for some details if poss.

BTW none of the NFS mounts are working. The mount points are shown in the cli list but nothing is mounted. Not sure where the problem lies but want to get the NFS working so will have to look into this too. Thought I should fix Dolphin first as there may be another issue behind all this. The NFS server is up and looks OK.

I do not use NFS and therefore are not familiar with it but probably your problem is related to this bug report.

6

If none of the NFS mounts are working, Dolphin seems not like the root problem.

7

That’s true !

8

OK, I shall check my nfs client setup again and raise a new thread on that.
Thanks for the replies. Meanwhile when do you think be bug will be fixed? I may need to revert to earlier snapshot if more than a week or so!

9

I assume you are asking about KDE Bug 482899. The report does not give a fixed date.

However as @hui already mentioned: If you cannot access your NFS-shares via the CLI then it is very unlikely that dolphin is the root of your problem.

Hi and many thanks. It seems the problem has been fixed. My reading on this took me to investigating my NFS mounts which are systemd mounts and it seems the problem might be related. I am too ignorant to interpret the log file but the good news is that both problems have disappeared and I now have my Dolphin working correctly and the systemd mounts up and working as before. Just relieved this has been sorted. Thanks for the reply once more.
