Udisks command not found

I have udisks installed on my machine and managed to get info from 'man udisks', however I'm not able to execute the command 'udisks'. It would say command not found.

Re: Udisks command not found

What does 'which udisks' tell you? What does 'ls /usr/bin/udisks' tell you?

Re: Udisks command not found

pacman -Qs udisks

May help shed some light too.

Re: Udisks command not found

Here's what I gotten:

What does 'which udisks' tell you? What does 'ls /usr/bin/udisks' tell you?

which: no udisks in (/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/opt/android-sdk/platform-tools:/opt/android-sdk/tools:/opt/kde/bin:/usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl:/home/william/bin:/usr/lib/qt4/bin)

There's no udisks found under /usr/bin

pacman -Qs udisks

May help shed some light too.

Re: Udisks command not found

You don't have udisks installed.  You have udisks2 which doesn't provide a binary named "udisks":

$ pkgfile -l udisks2 | grep bin
extra/udisks2	/usr/bin/
extra/udisks2	/usr/bin/udisksctl
extra/udisks2	/usr/bin/umount.udisks2

Ahh! I must have misread it. Though what is the difference between udisks and udisks 2?

Re: Udisks command not found

One of them has a 2 on the end.

Here's an idea: tell us what you are actually trying to achieve.

I just want to be able to use the command line to unmount my external drive.

They are yanking your chain a bit.  They do different things, and you can install them side by side:

ewaller$@$odin ~ 1001 %pacman -Qs udisks
local/udiskie 1.1.2-1
    Removable disk automounter using udisks
local/udisks 1.0.5-1
    Disk Management Service
local/udisks2 2.1.3-1
    Disk Management Service, version 2
ewaller$@$odin ~ 1002 %

How do you mount the drive?
