jphilipsHave others notice unknown 'Volume' entry on their desktops? Someone on twitter had mentioned it and when i was trying 18.04 in a VM, i did notice them appear on the desktop as well02:32
jphilipsi went into desktop properties and disabled the 'removable devices' tree entry and they still stayed02:33

jphilipsone of the two 'Volume' entries appeared after i installed gparted from the terminal02:35
jphilipsthere is no means to mount them and not sure how to find what they are02:36
jphilipsbluesabre: looking at the release notes page, another thing you should add to your list which we previously discussed was the alternative window managers for the VNC problem03:34
Unit193I use xfwm4 and vnc, no issues.03:36
jphilipswith tightvncserver03:36
jphilipsthis was in the known issues "Window decorations are not displayed with tightvncserver. Users depending on VNC are advised to wait until 20.04.1 or use an alternative window manager for VNC until this is resolved."03:37
Unit193Ah, I use x11vnc.03:37
jphilipsUnit193: trying to write a sentence to differentiate the regular version from core, so what would you call the regular edition? Xubuntu Desktop, Xubuntu Full, Xubuntu Default04:37
Unit193'Xubuntu' technically would even do, but I'd say that or desktop.04:41
jphilipshow does this sound04:53
jphilipsXubuntu comes in two editions - Xubuntu Desktop and Xubuntu Core. Xubuntu Desktop is the primary edition targeting the regular user and comes fully featured with all the needed software, including apps like a browser, email client, chat client, text editor, office suite, media player, and graphical package manager. While Xubuntu Core is a slimmed down edition with none of these apps and fewer plugins and libraries, making it a smaller download, 04:53
jphilipslighter on resources and a cleaner base to create your own custom OS.04:53
jphilipsi was trying ubuntu core and clicking on 'browse network' in thunar doesnt work, is that intended?04:56
Unit193Are gvfs-fuse and gvfs-backends installed?04:57
jphilipsjust running off the live session04:58
jphilipsi closed the VM already04:58
Unit193I'd have to re-check the manifest.04:58
jphilipsis this something we should consider doing, to better know our users - https://draugeros.org/go/2020/04/20/hardware-and-installation-reporting/06:07
jphilipsUnit193: ^08:53
Unit193Sounds a little outside scope.08:58
Unit193Though sure, conceptually speaking opt-in stats can be interesting.09:09
jphilipseven ubuntu is doing opt-in stats on first run09:13
brainwashjphilips: those mysterious Volumes are the mount points for individual snap packages I think09:41
jphilipsbrainwash: not sure how snap mounts would appear for an installation of gparted09:41
jphilipsor is that part of apt process to mess with snaps09:42
jphilipsi first one i believe appeared when i was installing the opera .deb file through gnome software09:42
jphilipsthe* first one09:43
brainwashthen it's something different09:47
jphilipsany thoughts on how to track what it is down09:48
brainwashin the case which I described they would be labeled "4.1KB Volume"09:48
Unit193What's `mount` say?09:48
jphilipswouldnt allow me to mount it09:48
jphilipsi checked gnome disks and they weren't appearing there09:49
jphilipsthey do disappear after restarting11:13
knomebluesabre, right, yes, that's already in the new theme :P11:14
