Fedora :: Automounting Usb Drives In Fluxbox

Feb 10, 2010

I have researched this for a couple of days and I am not getting anywhere. My Fedora 12 install is working just fine with the standard gnome desktop. I can plug in any usb drive and it is recognized and mounted with a link on the desktop. But I want to use Fluxbox. I installed and am running FB just fine except that I can't get usb devices to be recognized and mounted.I don't need a link on the desktop but an entry in /media would be nice.

I am thoroughly confused about which method I should be using to do this simple task. I created a HAL policy for my trackpad to work. Do I need to do something similar for the usb? I have read about udev rules but they seem to be concerned with NOT mounting usb devices. I also read about autofs and thunar but it seems like there should be a much simpler approach and I have certainly missed it.

Fedora :: Automounting Hard Drives Other Than The System Drive

Oct 5, 2009

I've installed Fedora 10 short time after it came out. Now I am having some problems unmounting thes drives on restart or shutdown. It hangs at the stage of 'unmounting file system'. I've looked into this matter and discovered that those drives are automatically mounted and shown on the Gnome file browser. As the /etc/fstab indicates, it is not mounted by it. I must have done something to have all the hard drives shown in the file browser and now Fedora seems to be unable to unmount them.

Quote:

# Accessible filesystems, by reference, are maintained under '/dev/disk'

Ubuntu :: Usb Drives Not Automounting In Nautilus?

Jan 9, 2010

I can manually mount my iPod shuffle and USB key however they wont auto mount. I cant remember when this stopped but i will admit i did move my install to a new disk. Perhaps there is a permission problem somewhere? the media folder my be incorrect? drwxr-xr-x 18 root root 4096 2010-01-09 16:34 media

The devices are listed correctly in lsusb:

Software :: Something Other Than IVMAN Automounting Drives

Apr 25, 2010

Even with ivmount killed, my external devices are auto-mounted (under the names of disk, disk-1, disk-2 etc in /media). This would be fine, however I always have to re-mount the drives as by default they are autmounted as read-only no matter their filesystem. Could I have another daemon automounting my drives, and if so, how do I identify it?

I do not have the gnome-desktop environment installed, but instead run Fluxbox with Rox pinboard and filer. I hated having to manually mount drives from the command line, so I installed a certain package (which I forgotten the name of) which is probably culprit. Now I know how to setup pmount, ivman and rox-pinboard to work together.

Debian :: Automounting USB Drives Without Touching FSTAB And GNOME?

Apr 11, 2010

Before I leave with a bad taste in my mouth forever from the linux communities here, I'd like to ask one more question. I've been snooping around a bit about this issue of how to automount USB Drives, have them show on the desktop in file managers like PCManFM and not have to touch fstab at all.

How do I do this? Without touching Fstab, GNOME, any other DE. I only want openbox around.Another question I also hope to answer: How do I make shortcuts in PCManFM?

OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.2 - Automounting USB Flash Or External Drives

Jan 19, 2010

I notice that in 11.2 that USB drives are not automounted anymore. There is a notification that a device is found, but I have to actually click on the notification and choose to open it with dolphin. If I do nothing, the drive is never mounted. I remember from 10.3 that it would automount the drive and put a icon on the desktop. Is there anyway to duplicate this in 11.2?

Ubuntu :: Karmic Stopped Automounting USB Drives And Internal DVD

Feb 28, 2010

yesterday my 9.10 stopped automounting my external USB drive, and in general any pendrive I put into any USB slot. What's worse, it also does not recognise CDs put into my DVD drive. (The only update I recall doing was the official update to the "sudo" package.)

1. The USB issue.I plug in my external hard drive. Seemingly, nothing happens. No new icons appear anywhere.
b) I tried gconf-editor and in apps -> nautilus -> preferences "media_automount" is set to YES.
c) After searching around these forums, I even put "usb_storage" into /etc/modules

2. The DVD drive issue.I put an audio CD in the drive. Usually an 'Audio CD' icon appeared after a few seconds, but now nothing happens. There is a "cdrom0" icon visible in the explorer, but when I click it, I get the following error: Code:Unable to mount cdrom0

So, it seems that for some strange reason my Karmic stopped being able to automount any new media. Does anyone have an idea why it is so and what should I do to bring this much-needed functionality back?

Ubuntu :: Automounting Remote Drives For Automated Backup

Apr 17, 2010

What's the current best practice for automounting a remote drive for automated backup? I want to use Back in Time and maintain snapshots but it can't do that remotely so I have to mount a folder outside of Back in Time. I have used sshfs from this howto in the past and it works mostly but seems to lose connection and not reconnect a lot. [URL]. Is there a more "modern" way? NFS is horribly unreliable and dog slow for me so it's OUT unless it's changed in the last year.

Fedora Hardware :: Plextor DVD Drive Not Automounting

Jul 5, 2011

I upgraded to F15 and now my Plextor DVD PX-712A drive will not mount.My CD-ROM will mount fine.My optical drives kept auto closing right after opening, but I did find a solution in this fourm to that problem which was editing the sysctl.conf file.But like I mentioned I cannot get any DVD rom to mount properly. I have used disk manager and I can see the DVD drive listed.I have told disk manager to mount the DVD but I still cannot find it in Dolphin.Also, a strange problem is that in Disk Manager trying to speed test any of my optical drives fails, it says that the transfer rate is too slow to measure.

Fedora Hardware :: Prevent Automounting Of Canon 450D

Mar 28, 2010

I have a Canon 450D which only supports PTP mode, not USB mass storage mode. When I connect it, it gets automounted and I can browse it with Nautilus. However, when it is mounted for browsing, gThumb cannot access it.To import the photos using gThumb, I have to manually unmount it from Nautilus.Is there a way I can prevent this camera from being automounted? I don't want to disable all USB automounting, because I also use various USB flash disks which I want to be automounted.

Fedora :: Disable Automounting Removable Media When They Inserted (CD And DVD)?

Dec 23, 2010

I want to disable automounting removable media when they are inserted, especially CD and DVD. I use F13 and Gnome. I went through System/Preferences/File Management/Media and set everything to "Do Nothing", see below:

I have installed gconf-editor and verified that all automounting options are unchecked:

according to "/sbin/chkconfig --list" haldaemon is off and automount is not installed.
What else should I check?

I would not mind if USB (flash) disks were automounted

Fedora :: Automounting Drive With Full Access On Dual Boot System?

I used to know how to access and rw other linux drives and do the fstab magic. For some reason I've lost my touch. I just want the drive to automount and have full access.

I suspect this is not new but I just can't find where it was treated. Maybe someone can give me a good lead.I just want to prevent certain users from accessing CD/DVD drives and all external drives. They should be able to mount their home directories and move around within the OS but they shouldn't be able to move data away from the PC. Any Clues?

Fedora :: Fluxbox Laptop Battery Charge Meter

Jun 24, 2011

I've been tooling around with Fedora with the Fluxbox environment on my old Dell 400SD4 laptop and it works fantastic. I'm still getting a feel for the environment, but one major concern that I had was a battery meter. Being a laptop, it's important to know when I'm almost out of juice. Does anyone have any suggestions for a battery meter for Fluxbox? Preferably one that can be installed through the yum repositories?

Fedora :: Starting Without GDM - Switching To Openbox/fluxbox And 3rd Party Panels/widgets

Jun 4, 2011

I installed Fedora 15 on my netbook the other day and I decided that I will remove everything but the absolutely needed to make things lighter, faster and less time/power consuming. I thought that GDM isn't needed on a single-user machine. Maybe I can remove it and have a script run on boot and take care of (auto-)loging in and starting the DE? (Xfce, but I plan switching to openbox/fluxbox and 3rd party panels/widgets etc). Is it possible? (and does it worth it?)

OpenSUSE :: (not) Automounting Disks?

Jan 20, 2011

I'm running opensuse 11.2 with gnome. When I plug in a USB disk. It automatically mounts those partitions that it recognizes. I'd rather it didn't. It creates icons on the desktop although I've managed to stop it opening a file manager window for each partition.But how do I stop the mounting altogether? I've looked in the menus, yast, gnome control centre and sysconfig editor but haven't found anything. And google hasn't given me any clues.

OpenSUSE Hardware :: CD / DVD Not Automounting

Nov 15, 2010

I saw an earlier thread on this but I'm still stymied.Running 11.3 x86-64. If I insert a cd/dvd into the drive, the drive is not mounted.I can mount the drive manually and the drive then works - just no automount. Tried with CD, DVD, both data and music formats - no go.A sandbox installation on the box works as expected so it's not hardware.I tried deleting the /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-cd.rules file, rebooted -no change. USB devices automount just fine and a Virtualbox WinXP session with pass-through to the device works just fine.

I can't find any differences between the setup on the 2 installations so it's time to holler for HELP!! I'm about out of hair to tear out.

Ubuntu :: Automounting Read Only

May 6, 2011

Question for you all. I am trying to get my system so that when I insert USB drives they don't auto mount, and when I click on them in the filemanger they only mount read only. I am halfway there, as when I have used "gconftool-2 --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/media_automount --type bool false" to prevent the automounting. So thats working great.However it looks like for the mounting of drives in read only mode it used to be (around 2008 or so) that this command would work "gconftool-2 --type list --list-type=string --set /system/storage/default_options/vfat/mount_options "[ro]"" However, it appears that at some point that was removed and no longer works.

Any idea on how I can get this to work? I just want to be able to click on the non-mounted USB device and when nautilus mounts it have it get mounted "ro" not "rw". Ideas?

When I insert a CD, the system no longer offers to automount it and CDs no longer show up in the list of disks on the left side of Dolphin windows. USB keys still work properly and I can still manually mount CDs through the command line? Was there some tweak to the HAL rules that disabled CD/DVD automounting and is there any way to fix this?
