HAL automounting in console?

HAL seems to be working fine, it works on GNOME. I plug a CD and it shows on the desktop, I unmount it and it's gone...

But this does not in the console when no graphical session is started.

Anyway to solve it?

Re: HAL automounting in console?

That's probably not HAL automounting your CD, but the gnome-volume-manager. It will only work when gnome is running. There really is no automount in the console unless you use something like autofs or this.

Good luck!

You could use udev instead of HAL to do the automounting. See the bottom part of the udev wiki page.

I think I'm going to take a look at autofs instead...

It seems that that is only for usb devices, I want it for CD/DVD too...

Thank you both.
