Thunar doesn't show fstab entries, only thunar root

#1

I’ve been using manjaro kde for about a year. Now i have new laptop with not so great hardware.
KDE is running nice, but i wanted to try xfce.

Now the first thing i’m doing after manjaro installation in kde was, add my nfs shares in fstab.
I have a text file with my fstab entries and i just copied and paste it to fstab. In kde that work great, and my drives appears immideatly on dolphin.

I’ve tried the same thing in thunar on xfce. I’ve use thunar root for this.
It works but my drive only appears in thunar root, not in thunar.

How to solve this?

…ugh ‘root thunar’ still exists ?
Really shouldnt use GUI things in ‘root’ or ‘sudo’ mode at all.

As to the fstab things…
Well, whats everything look like?
cat /etc/fstab
sudo blkid

Thanks. Adding “x-gvfs-show” on my lines in fstab solved the problem

You should also remove the discard option from the / load line in fstab. Once you have disabled discard, you should enable the fstrim.timer. Discard is no longer recommended for SSD’s.
