Files with .drive extension.

Where in Linuxmint there are files with the extension .drive?
They are used when displaying information about your computer in cinnamon.

This will find them:

Code: Select all

sudo find / -iname "*.drive"

I'm unpleasantly surprised this command returns no result.

I'm intrigued - what makes you think there should be files with that extension or that the extension is anything to do with Cinnamon?

I'm surprised, too.
Too big size of screenshots does not allow to attach them to the message. I put them on the server.

I see....I've never really seen the use of the 'COMPUTER' view in Nemo. AFAIK this just shows physical drives currently available to the system although you can't do anything with any of them from that screen other than navigate into 'File System' - where any mounted drives will be accessible anyway at their mount point.

What are you trying to do?

E2a - I just remembered this is in the Cinnamon Development Roadmap - not only me who doesn't see any use for that screen ---

nemo: retire computer:/// place (which is completely useless) or revamp it into something better

I'm not. What is the nature of the problem you want help with?

The main problem is that Nemo does not see my NVMe SSD drive, but the nvme utility sees it.
Namo says "Unnamed Drive /dev/nvme0n1"

I don't have any problems with the disc. He's efficient. Just have the discomfort of the fact that information about it for some reason is not displayed.
Also surprised with the fact that when booting the Linux kernel, unlike SATA drives, not logged on it any information.
During kernel booting device has successfully probed, but information about model has not displayed.
I don't want to work with an anonymous device.

Well, that's easy fixed. If your NVMe is your boot device, start a live Mint session and use gparted to label the disk:

If it isn't your boot disk then sudo apt-get install gparted, then label the disk from there.

Your advice didn't help. I have this menu item hidden.

NVME is a fairly new standard I believe. It might just be that nemo has never being updated to support displaying drive info for NVME on that screen, given that that screen is intended to be deprecated at some point or that the NVME kernel driver doesn't support providing a model name. Does it get a name/model in Gnome Disks? gnome-disks to launch from terminal or Disks in the menu.

If the drive appears in /dev/ and mounts OK I wouldn't be worried.

According to the Archwiki - https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/So ... Linux_4.10 - there is a bug in the 4.10 kernel driver affecting Samsung NVME's. Whilst it's not given that Ubuntu maintained 4.10 kernels have the same problem you may want to avoid running a 4.10 kernel. 4.10 is now EOL anyway so you should be using a 4.4 or 4.13 currently in any case on Mint 18.x

I see this for my regular drives in Nemo / Disks...

Nonesense. NVMe has been supported for years.

Kernel 3.3 officially - that's fairly new in my book - 5 or 6 years I believe - and I'm not nearly as old as you are....

Anyway reading between the lines it appears there is an upstream bug affecting both Gnome Disks and Nemo preventing either app displaying a Model name....

You may be right, and my suggestion to label the fs is incorrect.

I have not been able to establish the true cause, but in reality the device is recognized, but its model for some reason is not displayed anywhere.

The link posted by @smurphos explains it. Did you read it?

alex-n3050 · Post by **alex-n3050** » Wed May 30, 2018 5:39 am

Thank you for the information. Very useful, but I have not found a solution yet.
All the software at my disposal even with the latest updates works with this error.
I can't do anything about it.

There won't be a solution until and unless the bug is fixed. The best thing you can do is register your issue at the bug link. More people affected will improve the priority of a fix.

alex-n3050 · Post by **alex-n3050** » Wed May 30, 2018 6:22 am

That's exactly what it is. I will write to the authors of the software so that the error is taken into account in the next releases and I can only wait.
