I've got hal and dbus running but it doesnt even seem that gnome-volume-manager is started. I added it to my gnome session but that didnt seem to do the trick. I'm trying to be able to just plug in my usb key and ipod and have them automount. It works if I restart hal or run gnome-volume-manager from the command line but then work work again unless I restart that stuff again. Here is a cut from my fstab:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/ipod auto user,noauto 0 0Offline
Hi lhoerste,
I had this problem with automount as well. The way I fixed it was adding
dbus hal to daemons line in /etc/rc.conf. You probably did this already.
Next, when you are in the gnome desktop, stick in a cd. Nothing happens right?
Now go to preferences=>removable drives and media (I think this is what it is called. I'm not sitting infront of my computer at the moment). Then make sure that the checkboxes pertaining to "mount automatically" are checked.
Close window.
Now your cd should automount and appear on the desktop. Eject the cd by right clicking on the icon and choosing eject.
Now, restart and ***make sure you save settings*** before leaving.
Get back into the gnome desktop and plug your cd back in. It should automount now.
This is how I got automount to work for me.

What that did was start a gnome-volume-manager session in the background and then saving the session made it start the next time you started. I just added it to my gnome-session manually. So gnome-volume-manager is running. The good news is that now cds and usb keys mount correctly but my iPod still does not mount. Just to clear things up, I have completed all the steps that ckl_88 went through (thanks for the responds btw). Any other suggestions?
