Trouble Automounting

dmanzo · 2012-05-06 18:50:13

Okay so I know this is documented in the Wiki but I still can't automount.
To my knowledge I've configured pcmanfm and autofs correctly so if someone that has done this before can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure exactly what details you would need to help me so I will give more upon request.

Thanks in advance,

What Desktop Environment/Window Maker are you using?

How do you launch it? (.xinitrc, inittab, etc). Provide the launch line please.

Oh I forgot to mention. LXDE/openbox with ~/.xinitc

exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch startlxde

When in doubt, just describe all the steps you took, pasting any relevant configs between codetags.

Okay for PCManFM I installed udisks and made '/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/55-myconf.pkla' and ran 'sudo usermod -a -G storage dmanzo'
I downoaded and installed autofs and loaded the autofs4 module
Next I made '/etc/autofs/auto.master'
Then I configured '/var/autofs'
I added an automount entry n '/etc/nsswitch.conf'
I edited '/etc/autofs/auto.misc'
Added autofs to my daemons array
finaly i started the autofs daemon

Don't do that.

There is an 'Edit' button on the bottom right of every post - learn how to use it. Similarly, the link on the bottom left that says 'BBCode' - click it and read how to format code: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Fo … s_and_Code
