I started the nautilus file manager from the terminal emulator and I got the following warnings:   invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name     org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor:: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:     The name org.gtk.vfs.UDisks2VolumeMonitor was not provided by any .service files (g-dbus-error-quark, 2)   invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name     org.gtk.vfs.MTPVolumeMonitor:: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:     The name org.gtk.vfs.MTPVolumeMonitor was not provided by any .service files (g-dbus-error-quark, 2)   invoking IsSupported() failed for remote volume monitor with dbus name     org.gtk.vfs.GPhoto2VolumeMonitor:: GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown:     The name org.gtk.vfs.GPhoto2VolumeMonitor was not provided by any .service files (g-dbus-error-quark, 2) The gvfs package provides the above mentioned dbus services. To test this I installed it to my user profile by running: guix package -i gvfs I had to check the presence of the above mentioned dbus service files by running: ls -l $GUIX_PROFILE/share/dbus-1/services/ And since I have fish as my default shell I had to run: exec sh -c "source $GUIX_PROFILE/etc/profile; exec fish" to properly set new environment variables. (You can change the above command by replacing 'fish' with your shell command.) At this point I started nautilus from the terminal emulator and the problem was solved. Test this solution and of course you can add this package in your system profile. This reply is a bit late but it may be useful to others who have similar problems. -Stefan On 11/20/2017 03:50 PM, brendan.tildesley@openmailbox.org wrote: > In i3-wm my pcmanfm and nautilus, and probably other file systems display all these devices like: > > pts > shm > store > systemd > user > cgroup > blkio > ... > > which browse to /dev/pts, /dev/sdm, /gnu/store, ... when clicked on. > > These things shouldn't appear at all, additionally, my usb drives and extra hard drive are not automounted or recognised in pcmanfm/nautilus.
