Package: gnome
Severity: normal
Hi,
gnome-volume-manager's functionality has been stripped down considerably
and I no longer see it as a requirement for a fully functional GNOME
desktop environment. Most of it's features are now included in
gvfs/gdu/nautilus, i.e. handling of removable storage devices,
cd/dvd,audio and photos (camera).
printers are handled better in cups directly these days, so this setting
is by default disabled in g-v-m.
we have a handler for webcam, where equivalent functionality is missing
in nautilus and the input device section is probably also obsolete
nowadays (at least none of them is enabled by default).
My suggestion is to downgrade g-v-m to suggests, so it is no longer
installed by default.
Cheers,
Michael
