no automount of sd card or cdrom or dvd at boot time

stringchopper · 2009-02-25 01:25:36

my peripheral media on my laptop will no mount when booting up. If I remove the media from the devices, boot up, then insert, the KDE4 Device Notifier will show a pop-up indicating the media is recognized.

I have a dvdram drive, with write capabilities for cd, and dvd, as well as a Digital Media slot that takes multiple sizes/types of cards (SD, XD, SM, MMC, etc - this is a Texas Instruments 5-in-1 multimedia card reader).

Did you read the Wiki page on automounting?

stringchopper · 2009-02-26 01:43:58

yes I have read wiki. one wiki said to use autofs4, but I don't think that is my issue.

first, I guess I need to see if I can sucessfully mount manually

I can't find the music cd contents anwhere, after inserting into my dvdram drive. I try /media/cd, but nothing in that directory. I try /mnt/cd, still nothing

I'm a little confused about the mount command perhaps (yes, I've read the man page). I try "mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cd" and I get the following messing with after trying to mount, and then with dmesg|tail

bash-3.2# mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cd/
mount: block device /dev/sr0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sr0,
       missing codepage or helper program, or other error
       In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
       dmesg | tail  or so

and dmesg | tail gives this

end_request: I/O error, dev sr0, sector 64
isofs_fill_super: bread failed, dev=sr0, iso_blknum=16, block=16

Then I can run KsCD and it recognizes the music CD. Other than that, I have no indication that the CD is recognized. But JuK doesn't know about the CD at all

audio cd is not data cd

mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /media/cd/

wrong command. In fact this is what kernel is trying to tell you. Just listen;

wrong fs type..

in kde use kioslave to mount audio cd same in gnome.

If you want automount your CD at boot time (while I don't understand why you may need this) you should put this line to fstab:

/dev/cdrom             /media/cd   auto    ro,user,unhide   0      0

Likewise for your memory cards. To know the devices allocated for the card reader look at dmesg after inserting a media.

nope, you are making exactly the same mistake as op:
you can't mount audio cd with command that mounts data cd. There is no standard fs to mount.

I took that out because of hal instructions, which I thought was supposed to be able to automount cd's and memory cards. But apparently, it wouldn't work for audio CD's anyway.

are you saying to also use KDE Input/Output for gnome too? That doesn't make sense to me. Listening to the kernel is not a problem, the kernel offers no suggestion here though, and neither do man pages. aber verstanden den kernel ist nicht immer so einfach.

What about the issue with my SD Card. It doesn't appear accessible (that I know of) when it is already inserted and I boot up. If it is not inserted and I boot up, I will see a message from the Device Notifier Widget. I just took it out and re-inserted (which always works because my issue with SD is only at boot), and this is what I got from dmesg | tail

EDIT: I got the SD Card Manually mounted with
pmount /dev/mmcblk0p1

bash-3.2# dmesg | tail

ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready

There is no command, it's a line for fstab - configuration file. This will not mount audio CD or empty drive, or empty media. If he wants to automount on boot a CD containing a valid filesystem - that is. Audio CD has no filesystem, so nothing to mount.

Your automount problem is in HAL. HAL will send a message about inserting a media and by this message a desktop application (applet or other depending your desktop) will mount the media. So if the media is connected during the boot there is no insertion message. Like for your internal hard drive for example. But you must anyway have the ability to mount it manually.

no what I am saying is that gnome has similar mechanism. This has nothing to do with old and trusty mount command.
I think that you are mixing different things: again audio cd is not data cd so your command with iso9660 wil not mount audio cd because audio cd does not have standard fs.

did you try as i suggested to use kioslave in konqueror as i suggested?

sd card
1) create entry in /mnt or /media
2) because this device is created dynamically you need to know what device is added (block) - directory diff before and after connecting device (you can also use konqueror to check for device/block_to_mount name
3) create the entry in /etc/fstab
4) create symlink to the device on your desktop

mandog · 2009-02-26 15:55:35

Surely if your sd card is not mounting at boot time its because Hal is not mounting before KDM/GDM, dbus hal need to startup early and not in the background to mount your card before KDM/GDM starts. that how I do it.
