solanoalves · 2008-02-07 02:26:53

Hi,

I installed autofs by wiki arch linux and when I plug my camera, dont shows a icon in desktop of device mounted, what I need setup to make it work like ubuntu ?

[solano@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/autofs/auto.master
/media2 /etc/autofs/auto.media

[solano@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/autofs/auto.media 
cdrom -fstype=auto,ro,nodev,nosuid :/dev/cdrom
floppy -fstype=auto,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/fl
usbstick -fstype=auto,async,nodev,nosuid,umask=000 :/dev/sdc1

What desktop environment are you using?

solanoalves · 2008-02-07 03:18:07

Gnome, sorry I always forget.

venox · 2008-02-07 04:00:23

I think you have to run the HAL daemon.
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL

Not sure about autofs (since I've never used it), but AFAIK the desktop icons on gnome are created only when HAL is running.

I setup HAL through wiki however it mount all devices and in wiki dont works else the xml codes to mount only removable devices, can you help me?
I add my user to storage and optical groups but when i plug my digital camera shows me a window saying that I haven't privileges to mount it.

For cameras you need to be part of the "camera" group. I think you also need libgphoto2, but I could be wrong.

solanoalves · 2008-02-07 21:22:59

still show the privilege message when i plug my camera

What are the permission settings on the device you're trying to mount?
If they're wrong (you don't have read/write permission) you'll have to check your udev settings to fix them (my guess).
These wiki pages might be useful to help you creating new udev rules:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Usi … o_a_device

Also, you don't have to use autofs to automatically mount your USB devices, you can just create udev rules to mount/umount when you plug/unplug a device (and if you're using Gnome, you can just mount/umount the device with a few clicks [actually I'm not a big fan of "auto-stuff" or gnome]).

Its right my /etc/fstab ??

#
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#
# <file system>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0


/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom   iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/dvd /mnt/dvd   udf   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/fd0   vfat   user,noauto   0      0
/dev/sda3 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/device vfat defaults 0 1

I dont knew what I had to put in "pass" on line /dev/sdc1 then I put 1, and i dont know what had to put in dump..

venox · 2008-02-08 16:32:29

Why is your pass 1? You can just leave both dump and pass as 0. You should try something like this:

/dev/pendrive /mnt/pendrive vfat rw,user,noauto,noatime,utf8=true 0 0

Don't use devices like /dev/sdc1 on your fstab, these device names might vary depending on what (and how many) devices you have plugged. Try mapping a new entry to the device (like /dev/pendrive) following the instructions of the second link on my previous post ("Using udev to map multiple entries to a device").

If you want it done the ubuntu way;

solanoalves · 2008-02-08 22:40:11

I havent /dev/pendrive, just:
[solano@localhost ~]$ ls /dev/p
parport0 port ppp psaux ptmx pts/

venox · 2008-02-08 22:48:06

Like I said, you have to map it via udev rules.

solanoalves · 2008-02-08 23:08:33

its done venox, now anybody knows how I make to mount when I plug my usb device? hal/dbus mount all devices in desktop

Thanks venox

My fstab now:

[solano@localhost ~]$ cat /etc/fstab 
# 
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
#

Check the Udev Tricks section: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Udev#Udev_Tricks

ps.: dmask=000,fmask=111 is really evil.

solanoalves · 2008-02-08 23:22:29

Why venox?

venox · 2008-02-09 21:35:02

Because everyone will have permission to read/write any file (and directory).

Worked! I dont know how but when I plug my camera it mounted in /mnt/. I guess that was the UDEV setup that I did.
Thanks for help guys!

I kind of want that on my usb pendrives. It's worth noting that it's dangerous, but if the filesystem is vfat, what other options do you really have if you want transparent functionality?
