The gnome-vfs ftp code has support for kerberos via GSSAPI. If compiled
in, nautilus should be able to use this.

Re: On format of media in Nautilus

Hi Emmanuele,

So seems HAL can't totally support us to implement format for 
all-purpose format.

I take a quick look at Gparted, I find there is a format menu, so seems 
this tool support format, also I find in Suse 10, there is a tool named 
partitionar, which also have functionality to format, seems we can use 
them to format...(I have not look into them at them moment).

Thanks,
Henry

Gparted uses libparted underneath. Because formatting is a small
subset of Gparted features perhaps it is better to use libparted to
format the device directly, in this case?

noexec on CD Mount

Good morning,

Running Fedora Core 5 with a 2.6.16.16 kernel and life is good except
that when I double click on a CD in Gnome, Nautilus mounts it with a
noexec option.  If I mount the disk my hand everything is fine.

Where can I change this at?

Also, if I put an entry like

/dev/hdc	/media	auto	defaults	0 0

In my /etc/fstab file then Nautilus says no permissions to mount, even
for root.  Is this correct???

Thanks!

libparted is not hard to use inside an application; and provided that
does what an all-purpose formatter requires, I'd be willing to let
gnome-utils depend (softly, possibly) on it - and ask the release-team
to add an external dependency.  as I said in the previous email, though,
I don't know if libparted requires special privileges to format a device
- it might well do, and this would mean adding a way to escalate the
user's permissions via some other mechanism like gksu or gksudo.  that's
why adding a FormatDevice method to HAL would solve us some issues: we
might delegate the HAL all the low-level, and high-privilege interaction
with the device, and avoid having to deal with it ourselves.

at the moment, anyway, I'm spread pretty thin on gnome-utils
maintainership duties, with barely enough time to work on the new
features for the dictionary and the screenshot utilities (luckily, both
baobab and the search tool have maintainers of their own); it seems that
a couple of developers are interested in making gfloppy work as an

New patch that fixes the missing parts from the first attempt. It
should probably also have a way to be disabled vis GConf.

 	case '~': {

+		char *path, *locale_path;
 		if (!filenames_are_utf8) {
-			filesystem_path = g_convert (stripped, -1, filename_charset,

Why rename the variable? filesystem_path seems a better name (as its not
always in locale encoding).

Its a bit hard to read the patch with the linebreaking it got in the
mailer. However, some comments:

It seems better to use nautilus_file_operations_delete() for the
deletion. Then you automatically get progress bars, it integrates with
NautilusFile (via the sync callbacks), etc. You'll have to add a
callback argument to it so you can unmount when its done/failed, but
that should be simple.

You do synchronous i/o (in e.g. num_entries_in_dir) which is a total
no-no in Nautilus. Furthermore, being the thrash dir this information is
likely already cached in the nautilus async file handling machinery. You
should use NautilusFile/NautilusDirectory to handle this.

The coding style guides are in docs/style-guide.html. You seem to be
lacking spaces in front of parenthesis in a couple of places and do
things like assignment at declaration.
