Yet another GNOME automount problem

GNOME 2.16 doesn't automount media (both CD and flash)

I tried all solutions mentioned here

1. I am a member of storage group

[root@myhost sergo]# cat /etc/gshadow |grep sergo
video:x::sergo
audio:::sergo
optical:::hal,sergo
floppy:x::hal,sergo
storage:x::hal,sergo
power:x::sergo
users:::sergo
sergo:!::
camera:!::sergo

2. I run HAL and DBUS

[root@myhost sergo]# cat /etc/rc.conf |grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !hotplug !pcmcia network netfs crond alsa portmap fam dbus hal)

3. My fstab contains only harddisk info

# <file>        <dir>         <type>    <options>          <dump> <pass>
none                   /dev/pts      devpts    defaults            0      0
none                   /dev/shm      tmpfs     defaults            0      0

/dev/hda1 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / ext3 defaults 0 1
/dev/vg01/lv0 /home/sergo/files xfs defaults 0 1
/dev/hda7 /home/sergo/mp3 ext3 defaults 0 1

I wonder why gnome-volume-manager is not shown on the list of running processes:

[sergo@myhost ~]$ gnome-volume-manager
[sergo@myhost ~]$ ps -U sergo

 3682 pts/3    00:00:00 gconfd-2
 3691 pts/3    00:00:00 ps

May be its broken?

Please help me!

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

gnome does not automount anything for me either.

I would try adding gnome-volume-manager to start up session.
With gnome automount/gnome-mount/etc something is broken. I have the problem with it opening / with other devices when I double click to mount them.

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

This problem effects users who start Gnome by using startx at the command line.  If you start Gnome by way of GDM, it works.  No idea why it doesn't work when not using GDM though.

Thanks a lot, it works fine! GDM login is the clue.

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

I guess I will give it a try for my nautilus opening / with other devices.

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

I'm using GDM, and it's not working for me. I've been using GDM from scratch when installing Arch, and it has never worked for me. I'm member of all the groups I've read one has to be: storage, optical, hal and disk. HAL, DBUS and gnome-volume-manager is running. I'm really out of ideas for now, but I guess I won't give up...

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

Just found regular CDs automounts, but not data DVDs or my FAT formatted MP3-player. I see from dmesg that the kernel detects both IPod (HFS+) and MP3 player(FAT). Is there a log somewhere that can give me more clues on what's going on?

Re: Yet another GNOME automount problem

Added the file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/90-user-methods.fdi from http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL, and now things are automounting, except for my iPod, but I think that's todo with its HFS+ partition table. Yey(!)
