USB pen drives not auto prompting or auto mounting on KDE3.5 (PCLOS)
I used to be prompted every time I inserted a USB pen drive what I would like to do (e.g. Open in new window) when I was running PCLOS miniMe 2008 and I could then read and write to.
Then I upgraded to 2009 via the Synaptic Package Manager. I am no longer prompted. Same whether normal user or as root. If I look via "local disks" in the "configure your computer" the sda is seen and shows the pen drive as unmounted and with no mount point. If I set the mount point and mount it works to a degree except I can only read from it. Needs root to write to it. I have checked both KDED Media Manager and Media Notifier Daemon services and both are running and set to auto start. The haldaemon is running. |
the answer seems to be to upgrade the kernel to 2.6.26.8-tex3 (via synaptic) you then get an extra option (but not the default) for the new kernel in the grub menu.
Select it and test it out In my case I had to remove an entry (I had made) in the etc/fstab for sda1 After that it works as I want. To make the kernel change permanent you need to change the boot option in configure your computer under "Setup Boot System" |
