Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Is that possible? I know about sessions, but you need to be root to mount a drive and I don't think you can run a command as root via sessions.
Thanks.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Yes, it's possible. Gnome has nothing to do with it. Have a look at pam_mount.
EDIT: Alternatively, you can set up sudo so that you can mount partitions with 'sudo mount ...', and put that into a script which is executed automatically on login.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Thanks, but it doesn't compile. It says it's missing libHX, even though libHX compiled and installed fine.
On an unrelated note, I installed Xgl with pacman -S xgl, but then when I run startxgl, bash complains that it can't find that command. Xorg is configured fine as far as I can tell and I'm using the proprietary nVidia driver.
e: How might I configure sudo so that I could mount partitions without a password?

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Sie können partition mit "user" Wort im /etc/fstab mounten.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Great, thanks

Does anyone know what's up with Xgl?

Sie vermutlich müssen ausmelden und abmelden (relogin).

Err, English, please?
I've already logged in/out, if that's what you said.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
That's what I said :-)
Does "pacman -Ql xgl | grep startxgl" return anything?

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
There's only /usr/bin/Xgl executable in the xgl package, you probably have to run that.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
pacman -Ql xgl | grep startxgl doesn't return anything. Xgl returns
Fatal server error:
Server is already active for display 0
If this server is no longer running, remove /tmp/.X0-lock
and start again.

Aborted?

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
Are you running it from a virtual console, without X running? Type "init 3" in the consote to get rid of X.

Re: Automatically mount a partition on Gnome login?
No, X is running. I booted without starting X, but I still got this error:
dlopen: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/xgl/libglxext.so: undefined symbol: CALL_ProgramParameter4fvNV
FatalError re-entered, aborting
No GLX modules loaded
Aborted'init 3' didn't seem to do anything.
