 |
|
Hi folks,
i just updated to xorg-server-1.8 and i wanted to completly remove hal. by now everything works fine but i'm missing one little thing, external storage devices (eg pendrives) aren't recognized by thunar anymore. manual mount works. any help for that?
possibly this thread could be a help for all people who want a hal-free system.

| Wait for a new Thunar which will use udisks. Or switch to a file manager that already uses udisks (nautilus or the currently hardmasked pcmanfm beta). Or stick with hal. Just because xorg dropped it does not mean hal is suddenly obsolete. |

well, i'm also using nautilus on my netbook but it doesnt work either. udev and device-mapper is running and udisks is installed. if i start "udisks --monitor-detail" and plugin and external drive nothing happens, meaning nautilus is not showing me the device and udisks doesnt recognize it.
besides: the goal is to run a system without hal, whether or not its obsolete

which use-flag would that be?
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] gnome-base/nautilus-2.28.4-r2 USE="-beagle -doc -gnome -test -tracker -xmp" 0 kB
|
and im not using gnome, just nautilus.
here my make.conf
| Code: |
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=core2 -mtune=generic -mfpmath=sse -pipe -mssse3"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

Hi,
I have similar problem:
I`m using minimalistic (x86) system with fluxbox + pcmanfm; dbus and hald was started on default, but yesterday I was thinking – “kick hal out of my system!”.
First I`ve deleted hal from default, second – from my sytem and then I`ve rebuild system with new USE flag –hal.
I `ve created a xorg.conf (it works fine: xorg-server, keyboard, mouse, touchpad).
But pcmanfm doesn’t work. I`ve merged rox. I`ve to mount cdrom and pendrive in terminal by command: | Code: | | mount dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom |
and: | Code: | | mount –t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive |
and both are visable in rox or mc. Ok, I`ll use rox instead pcmanfm, but there is a little problem...
I want mount it automatically by /etc/fstab but it doesn`t work:
| Code: |
# <fs> <mountpoint> <type> <opts> <dump/pass>
# NOTE: If your BOOT partition is ReiserFS, add the notail option to opts.
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda3 /home ext3 noatime 0 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
#/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/pendrive vfat rw,users 0 0
# glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for
# POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).
# (tmpfs is a dynamically expandable/shrinkable ramdisk, and will
# use almost no memory if not populated with files)
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0
|
When system is booting I can see: | Code: | | /dev/sda1 doesn`t exist |
but I can mount cdrom and pendrive in terminal.
Any ideas? (sorry for my English….) |

Ok, boot without your pendrive and post this :
Plug your pendrive and post this :
| Code: |
# dmesg | tail
# fdisk -l

Ok, I`ve booted without pendrive and plug it after boot (when system was booting it was again message "/dev/sda1 doest exist")
You can see boot screen here

It`s strange, but I can mount cdrom and pendrive in destination folders by rox...
Holly sh.t! Gphoto2 can import photos from camera without hal & without mounting camera... |

Yeah, it works, but I want "automatic" mount it by this line in /etc/fstab: | Code: | | /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen vfat rw,users 0 0 |
Unfortunately, while system is booting, -> it fails <-
I don`t know - my /etc/fstab is wrong or something else (f.e. next line "Mounting USB device filesystem usbfs")?
Thanks for help me
Edit:
Ok, I`ve changed line in fstab as follow:
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /mnt/pen vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0
|
I`ve mount pen in terminal if I want use it on mc but in rox-filer it works when I click on pen icon (rox mount pendrive).
This solution is satysfying me.
Edit2:
I `ve removed rox and use pcmanfm instead, but version 0.5.2 coz 0.9.7 try mount my storage and create automatically double tabs (according /etc/fstab) but i want only my tabs.  When i want mount cdrom i click [cdrom] in my fluxbox menu | Code: | | [exec] (cdrom) {mount /dev/hdc} |
and click tab [cdrom] in pcmanfm. There is [umount] in my fluxbox menu. There is my screenshot |
