[SOLVED] gnome-volume-manager is lazy

Until some update that I missed all was fine. I boot, my volumes are mounted, I can see them in ROX (my main file management program).
I insert a CD/DVD/whatever, its mounted and its all in /media/.:D
But now it just does nothing, until I start Nautilus, then everything gets mounted.
I close Nautilus, and it doesnt mount anything again. sad
gnome-volume-manager process is up and running after login before running nautilus and after closing it too.
How can I make it behave nicely without the nuisance that Nautilus is? hmm

Oh and Im running Openbox as the window manager in Gnome, Nautilus desktop handling disabled.

Re: [SOLVED] gnome-volume-manager is lazy

i had the same problem.

i looked in the changelog and it appears that from now on the automount function is disabled upstream because that function is to be handled by the nautilus ( http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/ … .3.changes ). For me it is a problem because i use openbox and thunar, so you just have to recompile the package with the option: "--enable-automount" .

info from:
~/Desktop/gnome-volume-manager-2.22.3  $  ./configure --help

then start it ( after recompiling with abs, for example ), but look that the path changed, now in my autostart file for openbox i have:
/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable --daemon=yes &


hope it helps you, because this annoyed me for a long time and this is the only easy way to mount my partitions easily tongue

Works like a charm, thanks smile

Synced ABS, edited the PKGBUILD, added --enable-automount after ./configure and compiled it.
