auto-mount usb devices
auto-mount usb devices
I'm running LXDE on Debian Sid.. for a while I was running XFCE and all was fine. I installed LXDE and it was better so I removed XFCE. Some component of importance must have been removed though because now LXDE won't auto-mount usb devices when I plug them in. Can somebody give me a hint as to what I might be missing? I've checked and autofs, hal, and dbus are all installed and running.
Re: auto-mount usb devices
Ok, turns out the devices do automount and they show up on the sidebar in the file manager but they do not show up on the desktop.. Not sure why that is.. I could have sworn they used to..
Re: auto-mount usb devices
is there a way to make the mounted devices (be it a cdrom, an ipod or a usb device) show up in the desktop automatically ? I tried checking and unchecking the "Let pcmanfm manage the desktop" but up to no avail... i only get that irritating "my documents" icon
the devices show up in thunar but not on the desktop.

Re: auto-mount usb devices
I don't know if there is a way show usb devices etc. on the desktop, but to automount and show them in pcmanfm I use "ivman" on my gentoo-box and I'm pretty happy with it.
Re: auto-mount usb devices
Perhaps you may want to consider installing "hal" ('dbus' should be pulled in as dependency, if not install it also) and "pmount" (to allow non-root users to mount), then rebooting.

If your using hal check the policy and correcting it may help. Also see these threads in Arch Linux Forum.

Or using the old /etc/fstab thing.
