Could anyone tell me how to get Debian Lenny to automount CDs the same as Ubuntu does i.e. automatically, with a Desktop icon etc.I've worked out how to automount CDs using autofs, which is OK, but it still doesn't seem quite as good as the way Ubuntu does it.
View 6 Repliesi was trying to use gnome and kde but i don't like them. I tried xfce and it seem to fit my needs but.My computer is used to be powered on for a weeks. While time passes, a process xfdesktop begin to use more and more memory and to free RAM i need to log out and log in again.
I tried squeeze yesterday on my virtual machine and it has 4.6 and seem not to have that bug, RAM usage is static(yes it still works when i write this and have memory usage 34492k, which is not changing for an hours of usage already), also 4.6 is MUCH better than 4.4.
i already tried adding squeeze to "sources.list" but i can see too many dependencies which should be upgraded if i install 4.6, i'm beginning to afraid it can crash entire GUI(or entire system, i can see there is libc6 required to be updated).
i do have a strange problem get running php5 on lenny 64 inside apache2. i had installed it as all instructions on the web does: # apt-get install php5 libapache2-mod-php5 php5-cli php5-common php5-cgi
apt has enabled php automatically, so
/etc/apache2/mods-enabled/php5.conf does have inside:
<ifmodule mod_php5.c>
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php .phtml .php3
AddType application/x-httpd-php-source .phps
</ifmodule>

View 14 Replies View RelatedI have added a 10 Mbps network card to my SGI O2 MIPS workstation running Debian Lenny running the 26-2 kernel. The workstation already has an onboard NIC which is working fine.(eth0).
lspci -v shows ths card as:-00:03.0 Ethernet controller: Compex ReadyLink 2000 (rev 0a) Flags: medium devsel, IRQ 18 I/O ports at 1800 [disabled] [size=32] Upon googling I found out that this card is an NE2000 clone. I downloaded the latest 2.6.36 kernel sources and did the following:-
1. Make Menuconfig
2. Loaded an alternate kernel config file (my working kernel config file)
3. In DeviceDrivers->Network device support->Ethernet (10 or 100 Mbit)
I selected ASIX AX88796 as the help associated with this showed it as an NE 2000 clone. configured it to be a module and did make, make_modules and make_install. Edited /etc/Modules to load ax88796 and added an alias eth1 ax88796 to this file. copied the new kernel to the /boot and did a reboot, the machine booted up fine and udev -r showed the 2.6.36 kernel and lsmod showed ax88796 loaded. But, Iam not able to bring up eth1 using:-
ifup eth1
The error messages given are:-
SIOCSIFADDR: No such device
eth1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
SIOCSIFNETMASK: No such device

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm trying to install Debian/Lenny on a iBook clamshell. I couldn't seem to burn an install CD that the iBook would recognize, so I eventually copied the contents of the CD onto a self-powered USB drive and I can now get the iBook to boot off of that thru open firmware. However, when I get to the Debian installer main menu, it still won't read the CD, and apparently it does not have network drivers to install over Ethernet. Is there any way I can supply a driver for the ethernet interface (lspci reports that its a sun GEM ethernet interface) or somehow convince the installer to install from the content of the USB drive (which is a duplicate of what's on the installer CD)? Heck, if it'd be easier to get the Airport interface running to reach the Internet I'd be up for that too.

I've found that I need to use pppoeconf, but it doesn't work. I have default Debian kernel with PPPOE module. After looking for the modem it gives me the following message:"Sorry, I scanned 1 interface, but the Access Concentrator of you provider did not respond. Please check your network and modem cables. Another reason for the scan failure may also another pppoe process which controls the modem."pppoeconf detected the interface successfully (eth0, I have only one interface), but doesn't work. It does, however, work with my router connecting without any issues.

But I would like an hot-plug automount like in my ubuntu desktop, on /media/{us_label_or_uuid}
I have a simple usb mount problem, but after looking around, haven't been able to solve it. So far I've come across hal, dev, usbmount,pmount, and got lost in all this.
So, when I plug my usb as non-root I get that "not authorized" message. I solved this by installing usbmount package. After that, as non-root, usb mounts, but I can't write, I only have read rights. I tried changing "MOUNT OPTIONS" in usbmount.conf, but no luck.
What is the proper way of automounting usb and how to control access rights and what user can do what?
I also tried with fstab entries, but everytime I unplug my usb stick and plug it back in, /dev entry changes...
I setup a luks encrypted /home partition on my Debian jessie, with an automount when my usb key containing the luks secret is plugged in at startup.
I did configure /etc/fstab so that my usb key be mounted at startup to /media/usb1, and /etc/crypttab to open my encrypted partition with the key at /media/usb1/homekey. It works.
However, when my usb key is not plugged in, boot fails and never shows welcome screen. I would change this behaviour so that when my usb is missing, boot resumes and do not mount /home partition. How could I manage this?
Is there a way to set up your system (running CLI only, no X) to automount flash drives? I know how to mount them manually, but I'd really like it if there was a way to just have the system do it automatically when I plug the drive in so I don't have to do it myself every time.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would ask how automounting of devices works in debian. I'm trying to modify the name of automatic mount point from the label name of devices (or their UUID) to the devices name. That because the UUID is often a very complicated string, meanwhile the label often contains spaces; so become difficult working with theme in scripts...
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have a small issue where an USB harddisk is not automounting. CD's, USB pens etc. are automounting without issues, so it is a little bit strange.I am mounting it with UUID, because I want the mount point to be the same everytime.As you can see from the fstab, it is NTFS.

I have recently bought a Toshiba 1TB external USB disk.
I have formatted it using gparted to ext2 and Debian see's it but gives me an error "unable to mount volume" with some extra stuff about programs shouldn't disconnect shared drives.
I can mount it ok by creating a folder called usbdisk and the mount command "mount -t ext2 /dev/sda1 /home/mike/usbdisk" and it works fine, but I have to do this everytime I start the machine.
Does anyone know what exactly I should put into a setup file to make the machine do this everytime , but only if its there.
As I'm not very clued up on bash scripting , I'm assuming it something along these lines:
How would I add this at boot?? Would I add it to the end of "init.d/rc" ?
I don't have an opportunity to check it out now... Does Debian 6 testing mount inserted CDs/Flash-drives automatically like Ubuntu does? Or the only way to mount them after inserting is to use mount command?

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have a problem copying my udev rules from other distro to another pc running debian. My box is running debian without any DE and I want my USB disks to be automounted based on the label; I believe udev is the nicest way to do this task.
Anyways : my rules are (copied from archlinux wiki btw)
cat /etc/udev/rules.d/92-my-media-automount.rules
# vim:enc=utf-8:nu:ai:si:et:ts=4:sw=4:ft=udevrules:

# Only work on sd*
KERNEL!="sd[a-z]*", GOTO="my_media_automount_end"
ACTION=="add", PROGRAM!="/sbin/blkid %N", GOTO="my_media_automount_end" .....
I notice the directory is made successfully up inserting the usb HD, but the mount doesn't succeed. If I manually execute above command, the mount goes ok.
I have installed a minimal system with openbox window decorator. (without any window manager) when i insert a flash disk to my computer, system doesn't mount it automaticly. i must mount it to a folder to use it.
for example:
I'm running Debian sid and currently have xfce 4.8.0 installed. I have the thunar-volman package and it is configured to automount everything (cdrom & usb). I have hal, udev, gamin and autofs installed as well.For some reason though, automount just isn't working. It's starting to annoy me.I can mount the devices manually.I looked around already but most posts just advise you to install hal or something.
