 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 nor wiki isn't any help.
I know it is a stub, but as far as consistency is concerned it lacks the [EDIT] udisks USE flag for the then stable 1.50.3 at the time of the last publication.
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.
