 Posted: Mon Feb 05, 2007 5:18 pm Post subject: Automount doesn't work; KDE 3.5.5 [solved] |
 |
|
Problem:
- after restarting KDE 3.5.5 (USE="hal dbus") I can plug in a USB stick and it will appear in media:/ (not on the desktop however, although dbus and hald are running). Clicking the icon in Konqueror (media:/) makes the icon appear on the desktop as well. After unplugging the device (right click, safely remove) the icon disappears from the desktop but remains visible in media:/.
- plugging in the device again and clicking the icon in media:/ produces the error:

In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try

Just a couple things from my experience (screwups)
Almost sounds like the icon only shows up on the desktop if it's mounted.
Check your Settings:Desktop:Behavior Device Icons tab to see if the appropriate boxes are checked.
I have found that having lines in my fstab for mounting removable media confuses either kde or myself, so I don't use them. kde seems to handle it just fine.
Also remember to close all windows and programs accessing the removable media and choose the safely remove option before removing.
I have found ivman to interfere with kde's automounting. I got rid of it.
I do have pmount. Kde did not seem to unmount devices without it.

I've already done that.

My experience is just the opposite, until now  ... But I will try this. It doesn't work and now I have an iPod icon in my media:/ although I just plugged in a USB stick. Nothing on my desktop though.
I am using a laptop running Gentoo that only has hald and hotplug loaded and there automount works fine without even adding my user to /etc/group under plugdev. I do still have entries in fstab for removable devices on that laptop.

This is not the first time that I am using a UNIX like OS, you know .

I did not mention ivman because I am not using it.
Thank you for your ideas. What do I do now?

Do you have pmount installed?
You could try adding the codepage to your fstab, something like codepage=437

I just left everything as it was because that always worked and I just rebooted (something I rarely do) and you might guess what happened: "it" works ...
