 Posted: Mon Jan 01, 2007 8:30 am Post subject: kde usb devices (udev hal) |
 |
|
when i plug in a thumb drive, camera, or ipod, kde lets me open/mount it usually as system:/media/sda1, but nothing is in it. and system:/media shows it as unmounted. i can open/mount it all i want by clicking on it but it is always empty.
then i do a df -h
| Code: | ~ $ df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 2.8G 637M 2.0G 24% /
udev 251M 256K 251M 1% /dev
/dev/hda5 2.8G 65M 2.6G 3% /tmp
/dev/hda6 19G 6.1G 12G 35% /opt
/dev/hda7 33G 13G 19G 41% /usr
/dev/hda8 14G 2.7G 11G 21% /var
/dev/hdb1 184G 97G 78G 56% /home
none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 244M 29M 215M 12% /media/disk
/dev/sda1 244M 29M 215M 12% /media/disk-1
/dev/sda1 244M 29M 215M 12% /media/disk-2
|
it seems as if every time i open/mount it, it is being mounted as media/disk*. it seems that kde is telling some subsystem to mount it, but is not associating it with the correct dir on the fs and thus never shows it as mounted.
so i have two questions: how can i get kde to work with my storage devices? and how can i get the devices to mount as something other than disk*? i'd like camera, ipod, flash, etc.
thanks in advance. |

What's your kernel version? I experienced the same when mine was too old for the hal (or was it udev?) version I was using.
Look at the output you get when emerging it, if that is the problem it will spill out a warning.

From the ebuild:
| Code: | #cat /usr/portage/sys-apps/hal/hal-0.5.7-r3.ebuild
........
pkg_setup() {
get_version || eerror "Unable to calculate Linux Kernel version"
kernel_is ge 2 6 15 || eerror "HAL requires a kernel version 2.6.15 or newer"
.......
|
Seems that you have to upgrade your kernel.

just tried to upgrade to 2.6.18 but i had to revert because the network configuration is messed up. it keeps trying to load net.eth0 by default, i don't use eth0, i use ra0 (wireless)
my /etc/conf.d/net | Code: | # /etc/conf.d/net:
# $Header: /home/cvsroot/gentoo-src/rc-scripts/etc/conf.d/net,v 1.7 2002/11/18 19:39:22 azarah Exp $
#config_eth0=( "dhcp" )
modules=( "!iwconfig" )
config_ra0=( "dhcp" )
|
its worked perfect for a few kernels but now it seems to not work at all with the new kernel, any thoughts? |

I had to add this in /etc/conf.d/rc to prevent net.eth1 from starting automatically.
| Code: |
RC_PLUG_SERVICES="!net.eth1"
|
Adjust accordingly.

it worked, thanks, btw you didnt have to do anything to get sound working with the new kernel, my sound is dead.
nm volume was down on wave input. thanks guys
any ideas on how to get devices to mount as meaningful names instead of /media/sdb1? |
