Hi—
When I insert a USB stick, an icon representing a partition shows up on
the desktop. When I double-click it, it gets mounted under some
directory under /media/$(whoami)/. What command is actually executed?
I tried 'gvfs-mount', but now I'm quite sure it isn't that:
$ gvfs-mount --list
This tool has been deprecated, use 'gio mount' instead.
See 'gio help mount' for more info.
/home/marco/.guix-profile/bin/gvfs-mount: line 13: exec: gio: not found
But this does look like something that wants fixing. Maybe gvfs-mount
is a wrong or an unnecessary dependency of some other package.
It's a couple of weeks ago before I updated GuixSD.

I just checked and glib:bin provides that ‘gio’ command. I guess we
should fix ‘gvfs-mount’ to refer to ‘gio’ by its absolute file name.
In the meantime, you can run:
guix environment --ad-hoc glib:bin -- gio mount
HTH!

Yes, that's useful. No high priority (at least concerning me).

Thank you, this works.
