 Posted: Sat Nov 23, 2024 5:21 pm Post subject: pcmanfm - removable devices not mounting and showing up |
 |
|
Hello!
I'm using pcmanfm with LXDE.
I have udisks installed and globally enabled as USE flag.
Basically, I would just want to have my USB drives to automount and show up in pcmanfm window.
Let's grab an example with a USB drive, here's the fstab part:
| Code: | | /dev/kingston16G1 /mnt/usbdrive/kingston1 vfat rw,user 0 0 |
There, adding the "auto" option before "rw,user" doesn't change a thing
And this is my .xinitrc if that helps:
| Code: | exec startlxde
xset -dpms
xset s off |
I still have to precise that in pcmanfm settings, all the relevant auto-mounting options are properly ticked.
Do we have pcmanfm users who could give me a clue about this, browsing arch and more documentation on the internet didn't help much.
Many thanks in advance for your help!  |

pcmanfm doesn't mount according to fstab.
Hence an example:
Inserting USB key triggers a popup menu to validate the mounting.
Once accepted, pcmanfm mounts volume(s) as; | Code: | /run/media/user/UEFI_NTFS
/run/media/user/CCCOMA_X64FRE_FR-FR_DV9 |
Plz note how volumes paths are relative to logged user.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support.

U have problematic .xinitrc.
Any line beyond exec will not be executed.
Here | Code: | | exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde |
may be required for working USB automount.

Thank you, dear CaptainBlood!
This seems in order:
| Code: | [ebuild R ~] x11-libs/libfm-1.3.2-r1:0/5.3.1::gentoo USE="automount exif gtk udisks -debug -doc -examples -vala" 1 265 KiB
[ebuild R ] sys-fs/udisks-2.10.1-r1:2::gentoo USE="acl daemon elogind introspection nls -debug -lvm (-selinux) -systemd" 0 KiB |
And added to my .xinitrc
| Code: | | exec dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde |
But nothing happens either when inserting a drive.

You mean my xset lines are useless here or should be put before the exec line, right?
I forgot to mention something important: in the left panel of pcmanfm windows there is a "device" folder in which will appear removable drives inserted, I can see them as icons among other filesystems but if I try to click these I get an error message on a popup window: "The folder "computer:///<mydrive>.drive" indicated is not valid". Can't open it. |

Yes
Do you have any message in console 12 when you insert a drive?

Nope, just a blinking cursor all the way.
But my device gets detected fine, I can manually mount and unmount as user or root. |

This seems correct too. 
I may have to switch to another DE/WM...
Do you have any successful experience of using another file manager with lxde? May be complicated to set up, though.  |

Do you have kernel CONFIG_FUSE_FS activated?
Do you have elogind in rc-service?

I remember having a hard time setting it to no more than what is required...EDIT: Not sure that is where I am now...
And I didn't kept what had 2 be done  .
As of today wiki isn't any help.
I know it is a stub,EDIT BS assertion removed
As far as DE are concerned, have you tried lxdm? It's the one I"ve mostly been using as a daily driver.
KDE doesn't mount here.
GNOME mounts with no prompt.
Openbox behaves same as LXDE, i.e. prompts for mount.
