I should have just asked for the relevant info which is the user/group info for the main user.

Yes, I have saved what I need from it, I just deleted the /etc/passwd for your protection as it contained the password hashes.

If you use the same password in some other place, or have sshd running to internet on that machine, it can be used to break into those.
The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Hi
On a pc where I have dCore on the hd and persistent home the icons appear even with shadow and passwd on mydata.

PS if the usb is plugged during boot it doesn't appear, if boot is finhished and so the desktop is ready ad I plug the usb the icons appear.

Sounds like enlightenment is using udev or it's own way of seeing usb drives being inserted or removed.

In the past did dCore-trusty with this enlightenment package show a usb icon when the usb was already inserted on boot?

I am running this enlightenment on dCore-trusty now and see that it works with the insertion and removeal of usb.

Could you upload dCore-trusty.gz version 2016.04.03.16.56 somewhere, google drive perhaps, and PM me a link to it?

Hi
I'll upload dCore-trusty:2016.04.22.20.54, which works too, since I think  I've deleted the previoulsy tested one.
Thanks

Turns out to be a file permission problem that crept in the base system.  Please test the current RC, it is working here to show an icon when booting with a pendrive already inserted.
