[Gnome] How to show disks on the sidebar

English Applications
1

Hello,

I’ve been looking but I only found tweaks for Ubuntu and no real answer for Tumbleweed Gnome. So, is there a way to add a disk (or all disks) to the sidebar instead of having to click on “other locations” and then go to the disks?

Thank you very much in advance!

Hi
I normally hide them via a udev rule so they don’t mount? eg;


cat /etc/udev/rules.d/99-hide-disks.rules 
KERNEL=="sdc3", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sdb2", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda4", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda3", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"
KERNEL=="sda2", ENV{UDISKS_IGNORE}="1"

You don’t have a rule lurking that does this? If I remove, the devices mount and are visible in Nautilus?

Thank you for the reply. I don’t have such rules. I think on the contrary, they are automatically mounted on startup (if I recall correctly, this was what I’ve done after installing the distribution).

Even if I dismount the disk, it’s kept on the “other location”. Here is a screenshot just to make thing clearer (I would like that the 106GB and 341GB disks show on the sidebar).

Hi
Hmmm, it’s not what I see here, I removed sda4 from my ignore list, ran udevadm trigger and see the following in Nautilus here (sda_data in the sidebar);

This is a straight GNOME Tumbleweed install aside from being themed…

No tweaks in dconf-editor or gsettings?

Are those network or local drives?

If you create a test user and login as that test user, do you see the same?

Thank you again.
No I don´t have any tweaks, though what is gsettings? And what would I check there?
These are local drives and adding a test user didn´t change anything. I looked a little bit further and I came across (Ubuntu solutions):

But I don´t have the options they are mentioning to test them out.

Hi
Hmm, AFAIK remember I didn’t add as bookmarks, but the feature is there, just has moved location to the top bar and a drop down.

Thanks! When added to favorite, it is now on the sidebar. I think it might be a problem when I did an upgrade or something, but since now it’s there with this trick, it’s all I needed. Thank you again!
