-current USB mount

zbreaker · 04-18-2012, 08:51 PM

Upgraded my current to the default changelog. Noticed any attached
usb thumbdrives or my Sansa Fuze no longer automount. Went into systemsettings and chose the appropriate choices under removeable devices. Anyone else experience anything of the sort? Of course we are talking the -current KDE 4.8.2.

have you rebooted?

TommyC7 · 04-19-2012, 12:14 AM

Can you still mount it manually?

zbreaker · 04-19-2012, 07:29 AM

Yes, rebooted to no avail but didn't try mounting manually as it was late & I needed to get to sleep.
Going to try deleting & re-adding my user and groups tonight when I get back from work..perhaps
that will clear things up.

you might want to check dmesg for any strange results

zbreaker · 04-25-2012, 08:02 PM

Hmmmm...can't quite figure this one out. Dmesg offers no red flags. However upon bootup it appears I might have a problem with udev. Get a line to the effect of udevadmin trigger --type failed. This one is going to be fun to unravel.

"--type failed" is just an option passed to udevadm, It's presence in your log is normal

Code:

gazl@slackbox:~$ grep OPT /etc/rc.d/rc.udev
OPT=""
          OPT="--type=failed $OPT"
          # Set OPT="--action=add" to generate add events on coldplug
          OPT="--action=add"
        echo "Triggering udev events:  /sbin/udevadm trigger $OPT"
        /sbin/udevadm trigger $OPT && /sbin/udevadm settle --timeout=120

Something like:

Code:

echo "Triggering udev events (cmd: /sbin/udevadm trigger $OPT)"

... would probably be a little less scary.

And yes, first time I saw that 'failed' scroll by, I thought the same as you.

Can't really help with your problem as I don't use/install KDE.

Have you tried mounting manually yet? I'm just wondering if that attempt has worked or not because otherwise it wouldn't mount automagically either.

On my "to do" list tonight when I get home from work.

I had similar problems with recent kde versions from AlienBob. For me polkit-1 default settings seem to be the cause.
I think there may be a bug in the SystemSettings Actions Policy, whereby changes are not registered, as changes made there don't seem to stick.

After some investigation I found that manually editing /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy (I think it was filesystem-mount) change to allow any=YES restored the previous behavior.

I had similar issues with mounting luks volumes.

I have since upgraded to 'official' current without any problems

Yep..can mount manually but will not at this point no plugdev popup to open when attached. Gonna be a fun ride
