 Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 8:30 pm Post subject: autmounter on KDE doesn't automount +/dev/hdc for /dev/cdrom |
 |
|
I installed the KDE Automounter using the howto: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml
but when I put a cd or floppy in it doesn't autoload.
I have to mount them manually.
Should I use autofs instead?
Is it normal that the cdrom is mounted from /dev/hdc?
When I mount an audio cd I get the fiollowing error:
can't read superblock

NO!

/dev/hdc is a normal location for a cdrom device. First device, second IDE channel.

You don't/can't mount audio CDs.
Was kdebase/kdebase-kioslaves compiled with HAL support?
Is HAL and CD polling enabled in Kcontrol -> Peripherals -> Storage Media -> Advanced tab? |

NO!

What's wrong with it then?

But in my fstab stands
| Quote: |
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
|
Should I change this to /dev/hdc?
If I open Kcontrol and go to sound & multimedia -> Audio-CD's
I see in the General Tab:
| Quote: |
CD Device
x Determine device automatically
Device: /dev/cdrom
|
Should I choose not to determine automatically and change /dev/cdrom to /dev/hdc or leave it as /dev/cdrom?

seems like kdebase-kioslaves isn't emerged yet, it's blocked by kdebase-3.4*
| Quote: |
emerge --pretend kdebase-kioslaves
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:
Calculating dependencies ...done!
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdialog-3.4.1)
[blocks B ] =kde-base/kdebase-3.4* (is blocking kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-3.4.3)
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kdialog-3.4.1
[ebuild N ] kde-base/kdebase-kioslaves-3.4.3

Storage Media doesn't exist in Peripherals.
I only have: Display, Joystick, Printers, Keyboard, Mouse, Remote Controls

I'm not going into it, but it has been debated/argued much in other threads.

If you are using the built in support for removeable devices with KDE, you do not need any fstab entries. (They'll only cause problems)

As long as /dev/cdrom is a link to the proper device (/dev/hdc) it wshould be OK.

kdebase is the monolithic KDE ebuild and includes the functionality of kdebase-kioslaves. You just have to emerge kdebase when using the monolithic ebuilds and kdebase-kioslaves when using the split ebuilds. You look to be using the monolithic ebuilds.
My mistake. For some reason I assumed you were on KDE 3.5. KDE 3.4.x takes a little more work. I would recommend if possible to upgrade to 3.5. I know it's marked testing still, but is rock solid and fixes/improves automounting greatly.
P.S. Wait at least 24 hours before bumping a thread please.
Edit: Here is a link on Gentoo Wiki about using pmount in KDE 3.4. http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_D-BUS,_HAL,_KDE_media:/ |
