USB media is not automounted

Davigetto · 2007-12-02 23:08:30

Hello, I have a problem. I loggin into KDE or GNOME as a root to secure that I don't have group problems. On the both Desktops, USB storage devices are not automounted for a few days (maybe 1-2 weeks).

Why? What's the matter and how can I solved it? My system is fully up2date.

Greetings

Start with lsusb and usbview....Then hal as a daemon and the order of daemons. ahead of others

EDIT: Perhaps upgrade hwd to latest since there were problems before 5.2-1....

lsusb

Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000

I have hwd 5.2, all my system is full updated

hal is on my array:

DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network hal hwd @alsa ipw3945d dhcdbd networkmanager fam !autofs @laptop-mode !entranced !netfs !gdm 915resolution samba kdm crond)

Automounting worked until a few days...

Also kernel detects it, cause I can mount it manually.

Did you install gparted? Check /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/ to see if there is a file called something like "gparted-disable-automount.fdi" file. You can remove it, then restart hal and then it should be working again

Well I'll be a monkey's uncle! Thanks mintcoffee, that worked!! I noticed that file is not owned by a package. Any idea how it gets there? gparted did crash on me while formatting my usb drive -- maybe the file is only supposed to exist while gparted is running.

IIRC you are correct dmartins - that rule is supposed to only exist while gParted is doing something to the harddrive. Obviously what happens when gParted crashes is that it sticks around. (on a side note - gParted should check for that rule on startup and remove it...)
