Tree Views Do Not Show Mounted Volumes [SOLVED]

[Harlaequin]

Ok, so this may be an easy one.

I have 2 mounted volumes set up in fstab.
As each user, I can browse to the mountpoint (/mnt/Data and /mnt/Win7-Main). Both are different physical drives with correct permissions for all users, etc.)
They mount for all users without issue at login. Shorcuts work, apps work, etc.
The only issue that I can't seem to find a good answer for is the"Tree View" for browsing/file searches.

When I run apps (Nemo, gedit, LibreOffice, etc.) with eleveated rights (sudo <app>)and browse for files, I see this in the tree view:
>Home
>File System
>Data
>Win7-Main

But, as any other user I do not see the last 2 in the tree views. Since this is to help my (admittedly less technical) family mebers transion from Windows, this is a key feature to help them when browsing for files, etc.

So, how do I make those two "Drives" visible in the tree views for all apps, for all users?

EDIT -SOLVED: although the gedit/nemo combo change would probably have worked, I just did a quick fstab change to mount to "media" instead if "mnt" and on reboot all users were perfect. Thanks to all for the help!

if you can see the file system, then simply opening the filesystem then to mnt and then Data/Win7-Main will take you to the right place.

Open gedit in root mode
gksudo gedit
Click Open (to open a new file)
Navigate to File System > /mnt > /Data
Click the + sign at the bottom left to add a bookmark
Repeat to create a bookmark for /mnt/Win7-Main

Now you have to do the same thing in Nemo opened as root.

jahid: yes, those two are what I was referring to.

austin: that would work, but it seems that I would have to do that with EVERY program. I was hoping to avoid that process. I would have to do it with LibreOffice, audacity, gimp, blender, etc... etc...

I have attached a screen shot showing the difference in Nemo. I just want the two circled "folders" (ie. mounted volumes) to show like this for all users, in all programs by default.

Also, the blkid's that are relevant:
/dev/sda2: LABEL="main" UUID="7A6A62D16A628A29" TYPE="ntfs" ==> "/mnt/Win7-Main"
/dev/sdc1: LABEL="Data" UUID="A68AB79B8AB76709" TYPE="ntfs" ==> "Data"

also... thanks for the quick respoonses!

Open gedit in root mode

do it really needs root permission? i'm not sure about that, because i have done it without any root permission (by simply running gedit), and it seems work fine.

Now you have to do the same thing in Nemo opened as root.

but it seems that this step is not necessary. it's like, bookmarking in gedit is enought for nemo too.

sorry about my first comment. i didn't understand your problem fully.

and you are wrong about austin.texa's method. you only need to do it with gedit not every program. every other program uses nemo settings (in general), so once you have done it with nemo you are done with every program. and it seems nemo is automatically detecting it form gedit. so you just need to do it with gedit.

[Harlaequin]

Ok, sweet! It just sounded like it needed to be every program, my mistake, sorry!

... thanks for the help!

I am not at all familiar with the "tree view" mode of nautilus / nemo and I can't reproduce what you are seeing when you run gksu nemo but I can get the mount points to show up in the side panel for an ordinary user.

Change your mount points from the /mnt directory to the /media directory:

/media/Data
/media/Win7-Main.

[jahid]

altair4's method will solve your problem for sure but you will need to edit fstab again for that. so austin.texas's method is the easiest one, and if i am right you won't even need root permission to do that. making two bookmarks in gedit, that's all it takes. it's your choice, which is easy to you...

austin: that would work, but it seems that I would have to do that with EVERY program. I was hoping to avoid that process. I would have to do it with LibreOffice, audacity, gimp, blender, etc... etc...

I think you need to check to see if your assumption about having to repeat the process is correct - which it, in fact, is not.
You have to do gedit and Nemo, that's all.
jahid_0903014 may be correct about just doing it in Nemo - I didn't test that.
