Description Omnio Torr 2017-08-08 01:02:49 CEST 
Description of problem:

Using the Classic Installation DVD and choosing to install ONLY the XFCE desktop, gvfs-mtp is not installed automatically. However, when installing from the XFCE Live DVD, gvfs-mtp IS installed by default. This may not seem a big problem but, however, we should keep in mind that Mageia doesn't come at all with fuse-exfat preinstalled. This means that a user can't easily mount an exfat formatted sdcard, neither by mounting the card directly, nor by connecting the phone (with the sdcard) to the pc (because none of the mentioned packages are installed by default). I know that Mageia can't come with fuse-exfat preinstalled because of patent/license problems et caetera, but please at least offer to the beginner user a way to access their sdcards easily by connecting their phones to the pc. And this is possible by having gvfs-mtp installed by default when choosing to install the XFCE desktop.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.iso

How reproducible:

Always.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use the Classic Installation DVD to install Mageia 6
2. Choose to install only the XFCE desktop
3. Running the newly installed Mageia 6, plug in your phone and nothing happens, you can't access it.

gvfs-mtp isn't on the classical iso
ftp://distrib-coffee.ipsl.jussieu.fr/pub/linux/Mageia/iso/6/Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD/Mageia-6-x86_64-DVD.idx

I don't know whether it can be added, it's always a struggle for ennael to not let the classical isos grow too fat.

Assigning to the iso builders and CC'ing the XFCE maintainer.

It's only 64KB, so I've added it to the CI package include list.
