 |
|
I have a small problem in my new Gentoo system.
When I put a CD, I reveive the message: "Cannot mount volume: You are not privileged to mount the volume "(cd_name)".
Also, when I put a USB stick in, nothing happens.
Who can I make my system recognize and open automatically the CD/DVD and the USB sticks/devices?

Hello.
You might need to add your user to the right groups - assuming automounting works when you're logged in as root. if it doesn't then soemthing's wrong in a different place.
IF root works fine, try and add your user to the plugdev and cdrom group. That should work.
If you have entries in fstab for your cdrom and usb-sticks, you should add "user" in the 4th column (the one having noatime, noauto and stuff in it).

You mean, like this?
| Code: | /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 1 2
/dev/sda3 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/sda2 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/usb /mnt/usb auto noauto,user 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noexec 0 0 |

I added the "user" line and I saved the file. After, I putted a CD and it opened! That's good. When I closed the CD window and I tried to open it from the "Computer" section, I received the message | Code: | | "Unable to mount location - Can't mount file". |
Why is that? 
After, I pushed the eject button, the CD drive opened, but the following message appeared:
| Code: | Cannot eject volume
There was an error ejecting the volume or drive.
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure: umount: /mnt/cdrom: not mounted
eject: unmount of `/mnt/cdrom' failed |

rpil: check out this website: Gentoo Handbook It explains everything you need to know about adding your user to the right groups.
to modify a users, and add a group use:
| Code: | | usermod -a -G ftp tony |
to add tony to the ftp group for example

I've found the solution!
Here it is: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-148808.html
I gave:
| Code: | mkdir /home/drphibes/cdrom
nano -w /etc/fstab |
I added the line: /dev/hdc /home/drphibes/cdrom auto noauto,users,ro 0 0
and after:
Finally:
| Code: | drphibes drphibes # ls -l /dev/cd*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 23 09:00 /dev/cdrom -> hdc
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 3 Nov 23 09:00 /dev/cdrw -> hdc
|
And the CD mounted automatically!  |
