 Posted: Sat Apr 26, 2003 6:37 pm Post subject: Gnome CD Mounting |
 |
|
Does anyone have any idea how to get Gnome to auto-mount CDs when they're popped in?
As an aside, how come when I right-click on my desktop and go to disks, there's nothing there?
Minor, trivial things, but irritating when you know they should work. Thanks for any help folks!

about the disc
you must add option user to your fstab.
like :
/dev/foo /mnt/foo ext2 defaults,user 0 0

1) I am pretty sure there are gnome auto mounters, but I can't think of any off the top of my head.
2) once you mount the disc from the command line once it will show up in the nautilus disks menu. (if you have your entries right in fstab for floppy/cdrom)
3) instead of automount you might want to look into "supermount" it just leaves your drives mounted all the time and gives you the appropriate "no media" error. of course that might not flip your lid i donno. |

There is an applet for the gnome-panel. Right-click on the panel, you'll find it under "utility -> Disk Mounter". It will mount disks and devices for you.
Using supermount, as suggested above, is more elegant though, pretty easy to set up and works great.

Basically
compile your kernel and make sure to enable supermount, under filesystems.
then change the line concerning your cd in fstab to something like this
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom 0 0 |

I thanks for the answer, but I'm using xfs-sources, and there is no supermount option under filesystems. How can I patch the xfs-sources to have supermount?

I am using gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r2. I enabled supermount, but still can't
supermount my cdrom. I changed the /etc/fstab with
.....
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom supermount ro,fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/hdc,iocharset=cp936 0 0
.....
Can anyone tell me what's wrong? |
