Hi
usually when I bung a dvd in my drive, hal automounts it to /media and I can see it in thunar
but all of a sudden it gets mounted to /mnt/cd and when I click on it in thunar I get the following error:
Failed to mount "stuff".
Failed to determine the mount point for /dev/hdc
nor can I eject it, I get a message saying it wasn't mounted by hal:
how can I find out what is mounting it and stop it??
I've recently installed banshee and rhythmbox, could this have anything to do with it?

In case anyone cares, or has a similar problem I fixed this
I think the problem was I had pmount installed as a dependancy of one of the mp3 players I installed (banshee I think), and it was auto-mounting dvds before hal got a chance.
When I uninstalled banshee, it didn't uninstall the huge amount of other packages it installed with it. I'm still an arch newbie, and would like to know how I would have uninstalled banshee and all the other packages that come with it using pacman.
Anyone help?

From the Arch Wiki:
To also remove all of the packages dependencies which aren't used by any other installed package:
pacman -Rs package_name
I think this will do what you want.
