OpenSUSE Hardware :: 11.3 KDE Can't Mount Anything / What To Do?
Dec 29, 2010
This is a fresh install of openSUSE 11.3 KDE 64 bit. I can't mount any drives at all. They work fine in the gnome version. The drives are NTFS, some EXT4, and all CD/DVD drives. The drives show up in Dolphin but when I go to access them I get this error message;
"an error occurred while accessing 'drive name', the system responded: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device PermissioinDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always"
I've tried to get an opensuse box I have to share a directory via NFS. I've failed each time, but I thought that the third time, I'd enlist some help from the forums, if I could. how do I know that the nfs server and not the client is the problem? Short answer is: I don't! That's why nfs (and many netwrk problems) are laborious, you're troubleshooting needs to take place at both source and desitination. Next question, what do I have set up so far? Well, I did download the nfs server kernel stuff (two months back) and /etc/init.d/nfsserver start seems to get set up OK. No errors and the daemons nfsd, idmapd, mountd area all running. So, I *think* that part is OK. I have the share set up properly in /etc/exportfs and have "exportfs -r" it.
OK, now onto the trickier stuff: the client and iptables. On the client pinging to the nfserver box is perfect, and I have rpcbind running. the reported error is "mount.nfs: mount system call failed" though from experience nfs errors don't mean a whole lot.However, I will go off and check now and see if I need a mountd running on client-side too.Then there's iptables .... ouch, that could be a long and painful trek. I don't see any specific ports being blocked, and it's the iptables that the default v11.2 opensuse came with. I did turn them off and the problem was the same, so whether wishfl thinking or not, I'm hoping it's not an iptables issue.
On SUSE 11.2 when a CD or DVD is automounted (in the /media directory) it appears that the mount point chosen for the disk always has extra blanks at the end of the mount.
For example, if the label on the CD was DISK-001, the mount point chosen by SUSE is
/media/DISK-001 /
In 11.1 (and earlier) the mount point would have been
/media/DISK-001/
I'm assuming that the trailing blanks are filling in unused or blank chars at the end of the CD label.
Is there any way to change this annoying behavior? I much prefer NOT to have trailing blanks in the mount point.
For the last day I haven't been able to automount my USB flash drives! Here's a list of my devices:
Code:
~> lsusb Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
I put a CD in the cd-rom,close it and this message pops up.This is a fresh clean install of 11.2 w/ gnome.never hadthis issue before, I mean the sound didn't play, but never had a problem with the CD-Rom not mounting.
I am using opensuse11.2 but noticed that I am unable to view the contents of the cd once it is inserted. Checked the contents of mnt directory as well as the media directory but they do not contain anything. I would like to know how to view the contents of the cd once it is inserted. Also i would like to know how to erase the contents of a rewritable dvd once it is inserted into the tray. Is it build into the OS that we can erase the contents of the cd once it is inserted. Please help me as to how I can view the contents of the cd once it is inserted and also how i can erase the contents of a rewritable cd once it is inserted and mounted.
From Konqueror/Dolphin is possible to access samba shares. If your computer is joined to a Active Directory domain and you use a domain user, you can access samba shares with smb://server.domain/share and you are not ask for user/pass (you use a kerberos tiquet). Kde programs as Amarok, K3b, ... can access files in samba shares without problem. But other programs, specially gnome programs (including the popular OpenOffice), are unable to use files in a samba share. If instead of using Konqueror/dolphin you use Nautilus, there is no problem because it maps the share to a local folder ($HOME/.gvfs/share in sever/) and the program are able to access files in samba shares without problems as the folder is mounted locally (as if you use cifs.mount). Its a problem to use konqueror/dolphin and have to change to nautilus to access samba shares.
If you use Windows you can mount it in an easy way. That's what I try to do from konqueror, not having to open a konsole and be able to mount the share in an easy way. I've tried with smb4k, but is has not worked for me (tried in 2 OpenSuse 11.3 and 1 opensuse 11.2). What Nautilus does when accessing a samba shares like smb://server.domain.dom/share is to execute the command: [URL]... What I try is to do the same, but just form Konqueror/Dolphin. I'd like to add a button to Konqueror/dolphin that pressing the button and if the URL points to a samba share, the share is mounted in $HOME/LocalNetwork/server/share. As I say, it can be as easy as executing the gvfs-mount, but don't know how.
I know, I know, there a billion threads on the subject spread from Ubuntu forums to Yahoo Answers, but I like many I can't seem to make my fruit talk to a penguin. The odd thing is though, It worked (almost) flawlessly until I started messing around. Trying to install ideviceinstaller (which I never did get working), I tried to compile the source for the development version of libimobiledevice. When I did this, I got compiler error after compiler error. In the end I reinstalled libimobiledevice stable (1.0.4). The problems began here. I've installed everything in the FunkyM repo (except for debuginfo stuff), plus some stuff that isn't, yet I when I try to ifuse in terminal, I get the following error:
No device found, is it connected? If it is make sure that your user has permissions to access the raw usb device. If you're still having issues try unplugging the device and reconnecting it. And subsequently I can't use Gtkpod either.
Anyone got anything? I'm running 11.3, with a jailbroken 2nd gen iPod Touch running iOS 4.0.
Ok, so for the last couple of weeks I have been playing with trying to configure auto-mounting my SSD drive. But it seems SO confusing trying to get this configured correctly. Between HAL, udev, autofs, automount, auto.master file, etc I feel like I am getting more confused the more I read about it.... Not really sure how these work or how they are interconnected if at all?
First: At first when I plug in my USB SSD Drive it automatically mounts to "/media/SSD" (but this is not where I want it mounted, for a few reasons). "SSD" --> is the volume label as well.
Second: Then I tried adding this line to fstab:
Code:
When I add that line I can see during the boot message/log that it is waiting for me to plug it in so that it can mount it. Which is nice but I don't always need it plugged in at that moment. Also, after adding that line, when I plug the SSD in, it no longer automatically mounts it anywhere.
Third: Then I tried using the auto.master file to automount the drive (used this tutorial to do that --> Configuring Autofs). Added the following lines to auto.master (Not at the same time though, tried each separately):
Code:
Code:
After doing the above and then restarting autofs I saw the following as the last line of the mount command (which seems VERY strange):
Code:
Which also will not allow me to umount it? Tells me it's busy.
So basically I would just like to be able to plug in the USB SSD and have it automatically mount to "/mnt/SSD". Could anybody give me a hand with this?
Also, I would LOVE to know how these things work or how they work together (HAL, udev, autofs, etc...)
i jus migrated from Ubuntu to openSUSE 11.1 on my desktop. N nt was i disappointed by the automatic mounting of pendrive/cdrom, I really can't get it working
I just installed openSUSE 11.2, but I can't use my two optical disk drives /dev/sr0 and /dev/sr1 because the operating system can't find them. These drives aren't listed in my fstab file:
My CD/DVD-drive used to work when I started using OpenSuse, but lately when I try to play a CD or DVD the icon doesn't show up and I can't open the disc using vlc.
It sounds that the system tries to mount the disc over and over and I get an error message that says "Couldn't mount audio disc (in Swedish)" (if that's what I'm trying to do) and it says something about a dbus error. Sometimes nothing happens at all when I put a CD in the drive.
I'm using OpenSuse 11.2 and Gnome 2.28.2 on an Acer Timeline 5810TG.
I want to mount my camcorder and make video with kino. How can I mount with usin IEEE 1394 port. I plug the cable and anything happens!. And can I capture video with kino ?
I'm migrating from one SATA disk to another with a fresh install on the new disk. The old disk is 1TB and seems to losing stability. So I've installed 11.3 on the new 500 GB disk and want to mount the old /home partition using yast but I keep on getting back a message that I cannot edit partition because it is in use so it won't mount. I guess I'll have to use the CLI to tell it otherwise, but could use some advice. I'm a GUI guy and I like to run a lot of hardware. Yast does recognize the old hard drive and all of the partitions it will add the partitions to a new logical volume, but won't let me mount or edit settings to tell it to mount.

I'm trying to mount my NAS device via NFS with suse 11.1, but up to now it failed. The NAS does support NFS, but it requires a UID and a user name and up to now I could not figure out the correct nfs mount options for that.
If I just make mount 192.168.0.2:/nas1 /mnt a get the error message "mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.2:/nas1". So can somebody please tell me the correct options for user name and user id which the mount should use. And, preferable the correct entry for the etc/fstab file to make this mount being executed automatically during startup. I studied the mount(8) and nfs manpages several times, but I do still have no idea how to make it.
I am running OpenSuSE 11.3. I cannot mount an export from a Redhat 9 NFS server.I am able to mount the export from RHEL5, Ubuntu, Fedora, Solaris but not OpenSuSE 11.3. This is the command I use from a Ubuntu Karmic box.
mount server:/exportdir /mnt -o vers=3,proto=udp
As I said it works from many other distros, but not sure why no go on this one. Can anyone explain this? Should I submit a bug? I noticed portmap is not used anymore and am wondering if thatmay have anything to do with it. The rpcbind is supposed to handle this from what I read..not sure if this is accurate.
I've just upgraded to 11.3 (64 bit) and the nfs client does not quite work. I have 3 mounts I try to make, and 2 out of 3 work. The third seems to mount, but shows an empty directory. There are no errors in /var/log/messages on the 11.3 client or the server. The only difference between the 3 mounts that I can see is that the failing mount is of an xfs system. The other two happen to be ext3. Is that visible to the nfs client? Or is that a red herring? I can still mount all 3 just fine from my other opensuse 11.2 systems.
For info, the server is running opensuse 10.3... Code: nas:~ # uname -a Linux nas 2.6.22.19-0.2-default #1 SMP 2008-12-18 10:17:03 +0100 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux
I can see, that openSUSE mounts cdroms (at /media) according to cd label (eg. /media/data_dvd_x). My problem is, that several applications (eg. a cd cataloguer) expecting to find the cd at /media/cdrom0, or something similar. Is it possible to fix it? (Tell openSUSE to mount cds at a single point)?
I was using 11.3, everything worked fine Upgraded to 11.4, now no drives will automount. As a result applications like Nero and K3B cannot find my DVD drive. I can access the drives from an application like VLC where I can enter the device path /dev/dvd
Dmesg and tail -f /var/log/messages output the following error: 118.604577] udisks-daemon[6574]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f5597c6b990 sp 00007fffd2e65470 error 4 in libdbus-glib-1.so.2[7f5597c60000+20000] [ 118.757166] udisks-daemon[6580]: segfault at 18 ip 00007f557b302990 sp

I suspect there is a bug or incompatablitiy with HAL/dbus/udisks but I cannot track it down.
I first noted a few weeks ago I couldn't mount my NTFS partitions using dolphin. At the time I was having problems with windows, so I thought - naturally, they are marked as dirty, no biggie-
However, I still can't mount them and I know they are clean. I get the error: "filesystem is neither well know nor in /proc/filesystem nor in /etc/filesystems" which is strange since I can mount just fine in the console using mount -t ntfs-3g.
It's not possible to mount external USB (ntfs) disks with a non-root user using the Device Notifier or Dolphin. The error is:
Could not mount the following device: MyBook 2
org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.PermissionDenied: Authentication is required
It is a permission problem; running Dolphin under root and clicking the USB disk mounts it without problems. The same should be possible to an ordinary user. The Update Applet does not work for the same reason (I can only install updates using yast).
Of course, I googled the error and there were a number of possible solutions, which I all tried. That includes allowing the action in the policy and adding the user in AdminIdentities local-authority. The file /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy contains "yes" for every option. Needless to say it doesn't make sense and I'm out of options.
I bought a "WD My Passport Essential 320 GB" usb drive. When I plug it in (suse 11.2 x86_64 gnome version), it won't automount, a message appears ".../dev/sr2 is not a valid block device", I can not mount it manually neither Don't have a clue how to proceed in solving this issue. The drive is a bit strange though, it has some software on it for protecting data, which I wont need, but can't get rid of it neither. However when I connected it to my laptop running ubuntu 9.10 x86_64, the drive automounted ok, so I guess I must be missing some additional software on my suse. The drive was initially NTFS formated, but I did reformat it to FAT with ubuntu.
