F11 Preview - Volumes can't be opened under LiveCD

[bennachie]

I've been testing F11 Review, having downloaded the Gnome ISO (32-bit) earlier today. Most things seem to work fine, but the show-stopper is that I cannot open any volumes (other than the Filesystem). That includes the hard disk, variously formatted USB disks, and the CD/DVD reader/writer. All of them appear in the Computer window, but any attempt to open them yields an error message to the effect that the system is "unable to mount location".

Perhaps I'm missing something, but Ubuntu has no problem mounting and opening all these devices when running in LiveCD mode. I'm obviously a bit reluctant to proceed with a full installation until I have sorted out this problem. Your advice would be welcomed!

I have exactly the same problem, can't open anything except the file system.
I had intended to install F11 to a spare hd but wanted to check the existing files for anything important before doing so.

The problem appears to be with Nautilus, the Gnome file manager, rather than having anything to do with the installer. The F11 KDE LiveCD runs without any equivalent issues. I've raised a bug at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=498217. You might like to add a comment.

I've burned this twice and there is no DASH after "Fedora" and no DOTS as the label appears on F10, Windows share, Windows burning software.

Using F11 host with VBox 2.2.2 for F11 guest, it says:
isolinux: Disk error 0C, AX = 4295, drive E0
Boot failed: press any key for retry. (loops)

I hope they fix this one, in the meantime the suggested 'gnome-mount -d /dev/sdXY' or 'gnome-mount -d /dev/mmcblk0pX' for sd cards mounts the devices.
