 |
|
How can I set GNOME 2.12.3 automounting?
I've emerged the "gnome" metapackage and followed the guide on the official gentoo website but I'm not able to automount CD-ROMS and my USB Pen Drive (both are recognized but automount doesn't work).
Beside, when I manually mount a CD/DVD and then I try to eject it GNOME tells me: "eject: unable to eject, last error: Invalid argument". Then I have to reboot to be able to manually eject the disc because the drive is locked!
Help me, please, I'm really going mad!

It's actually simple: add yourself to the plugdev group.
I also deleted all removable media from fstab and let ivman handle everything - very nice. |

Wait a moment... Do you use ivman? I've tried it when I've emerged KDE 3.4.3 but AFAIK with gnome you should use gnome-volume-manager, isn't it?
However I've already added my user to plugdev group.

Mmm... I got it. Maybe someone else could help me with gnome-volume-manager... 
However I'm having another trouble with GNOME: how can I show an icon for every partition on my hard-disks? I have a FAT32 partition and an ext3 partition that I use for data-storaging. I set them in fstab to be mounted in /mnt/store1 and /mnt/store2 but they don't appear in Nautilus when I start it (in computer:///). How can I add them?

two solutions :
first : add "user,noauto" options in /etc/fstab instead of "default"
second : drag & drop the directory icons with "alt" key pressed to the gnome desktop and chose "create link" |

I know it uses pmount to mount devices and HAL as event manager but I don't know how it really works...

I've already tried but it doesn't fix the problem...

I don't want a link on the desktop: I want a link in the list of devices that Nautilus shows when you open it by clicking on "Computer" icon on the desktop.
Oh, another thing. When automount works (with gnome-volume-manager) it mounts devices in the /media directory but how can I control the name of the directory it uses? For example, I want that my DVD-RW is mounted in /media/dvdrw instead it's mounted in /media/sr0 (is an external DVD burner). I tried to put a line in /etc/fstab but then GNOE shows two icons for the same burner!

| That's an ivman thing. Look up it's documentation. And if you really added yourself to the plugdev group and you don't have any fstab entries for the removable media - then everything should work without root privs. |
