Talk:HOWTO gnome-volume-manager
From Gentoo Linux Wiki
Hotplug is deprecating, udev now handles most events. Took out references to it. --Dirk R. Gently 22:28, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
Question: I had hald and gnome-volume-manager working when I was logged in with Gnome running as root. Now I log into my normal user and try inserting my usb key and nothing happens... so I open gnome-volume-manager to poke around and it tells me: "The hald service is required but not currently running. Enable the service and rerun this applet, or contact your system administrator." hald is most certainly running. I su'd to root and restarted it only to get the same results. I added my normal users to the haldaemon group and logged out and back in again and it still didn't work. Does someone know whats going on?
Hmm, are you using gnome 2.12? If so, try adding your user account to the plugdev group - exien
How to get gnome-volume-manager to obey fstab noauto option?
fyi: dbus wouldn't emerge for me until i unmerged moc.
How do you change the default mount paths? For example on my system gnome-volume-manager mounts dvd media as /media/dvdrecorder. I would prefer it to mount as /mnt/dvd.
[edit] Cannot mount volume
"Cannot mount volume - Unable to mount the volume"...that's what i get when i plug in a usb key for example. the thing is, if i create the mountpoint (directory and entry in fstab for the device), the automount works without any problem. but as soon one is missing (either dir or fstab-entry) i get this odd error. i don't wanna create a complete mountpoint for every device - i even do not know i will try - i'll ever plugin. is this maybe a udev problem? thx in advance. if i find a solution, it could be integrated for others to avoid the mistake i made...(final NOTE: i AM member of the plugdev-group!)
- SOLVED: Remove every fstab-entry (except for your hard-drive[s] and proc-/dev-/sys-fs-support)
