 Posted: Tue Apr 25, 2006 6:14 pm Post subject: KDE Mount Removable Media As Root |
 |
|
I have kde 3.5.2 installed along with hal, dbus, and pmount. Until a few weeks ago I was able to attach an external USB drive and KDE asked me what to do with it. I could mount the drive as a normal user and write files to/from it. I haven't used the drive for a few weeks and today when I try to mount the drive it mounts with permissions that allow only root to write to the disk.
| Code: |
james ~ # emerge -pv dbus hal pmount udev
These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

udev is at version 079 because I was trying to see if it was the problem. I tried first with 087.
| Code: |
james ~ # mount
/dev/md/0 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime)
proc on /proc type proc (rw)
sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw)
udev on /dev type tmpfs (rw,nosuid)
devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw)
/dev/mapper/vg-usr on /usr type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-home on /home type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-opt on /opt type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-var on /var type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-tmp on /tmp type ext3 (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-data on /data type jfs (rw,noatime)
/dev/mapper/vg-portage on /usr/portage type ext3 (rw,noatime)
shm on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
usbfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw,devmode=0664,devgid=85)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/sdc1 type ext3 (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
james ~ # ls -l /media
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 19 11:43 floppy_0
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Apr 13 10:41 sdc1

What is weird is my home computer (running amd64) has the exact same kde, udev, dbus, hal, and pmount versions and it works correctly. I know it is a configuration issue, but I have been unable to find it.
If anyone can help me I would appreciate it. |

Is there an entry in /etc/fstab for the drive?
FF,

| No. The only entries in fstab are for my internal HD partitions(/, /home, /usr, /var, etc), shm, and sysfs. |

Do you have ivman installed? It can start doing strange things.

| No. I used to use ivman, but after a recent HD crash I rebuilt Gentoo and upgraded to KDE 3.5 which does not need ivman. |

| You need to be in the plugdev group I think for KDE automounting to work. |

| Thanks, but my username is in the plugdev group. I can actually mount DVD discs and my USB HD, but the mount point /media/XXX is owned by root:root and my normal account has no access to read/write to it. Ii used to be that the mount would be owned by my user. |
