Thunar-volman problems

Volman fails to automount any cdrom or dvd. How to make it work? It can automount external usb hdd
This is my fstab:

most likely to be your problem... check the comments, there's a workaround.

Re: Thunar-volman problems

I have added first

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>

and it worked only if i restarted.

then i tried:

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>

and got the same thing, still no automount.
Should i disable hal on optical and do it manualy?

This is what i used, works perfectly:

OK -- I solved this one, at least on my machines. Here is what I did:

1) Add "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" to /etc/pam.d/login
2) Every session started from .xinitrc must have ck-launch-session pre-appended, like so:
exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
or exec ck-launch-session start-wmii.sh

When all this is done the permissions seem to work as they should.

Re: Thunar-volman problems

I have added "session optional pam_ck_connector.so" to  /etc/pam.d/login and thats OK.
But if i add ck-launch-session in my xinitirc i cant startx. I use xfce4

exec startxfce4

- default entry, that works

exec  ck-launch-session startxfce4

- it wont work

Am i placing "ck-launch-session" in a wrong place? Or i need to add something diffirent cuz it s xfce4?

do you mean automounting is working properly? if yes, just use that...
