thunar stopped to mount USB storages (Debian squeeze)
Hya,
System Debian Squeese on Acer laptop. Problem is that thunar stopped to mount USB storages. Error message is: Code:
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action, result). I also followed to try to this http://forum.soft32.com/linux/Bug-52...ict482912.html But I somewhat think that symptom is different. Even though I start thunar manually, nothing changes... Does anybody know how to make things work? Happy Penguins! |

Hya,
Yes, I can even mount the USB drive using pmount without any trouble. Problem does not seem to mount/umount related, but hal or volman related. I did not mention clearly, but it used to work at lease last week. Happy Penguins! Added on edit. Same symptom happens with Toshiba laptop also. |
I'm not sure I understand. Isn't thunar a file manager? Can't you navigate to the mount point of your usb drive?

Hya,
Not solved yet. I have checked hal policies (compared to lenny one), but I do not think I am on the right track. When thunar is evoked as a daemon. Code:
>thunar-volman: No property info.capabilities on device with id /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_90c_1000_AA20000000015580. Happy Penguins! |

Hi kaz2100,
I am experiencing the same behavior with Squeeze. Used to work, now it doesn't. Using PCMan file manager. Mounting manually is OK. Hopefully it's fixed soon |
I had the same problem, got it to work by adding this to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf
Code:
<config version="0.1"> |
Hya,
Thanks for your posts. 1. I will look into packages in common (PCman and thunar). 2. PolicyKit works with Toshiba but not with Acer. (Both Debian squeeze) Happy Penguins! |
I don't know if this is the issue or not, but I think your issues with mounting the usb drive have to do with a different labelling system for devices in Squeeze. Hard drives used to be labelled "hdx" (with x being a corresponding letter such as "a" or "b"), and usb drives were sdx (again with "x" being a corresponding letter to the usb-drive, the first being "a", the second "b", and so on). Now, it seems both usb and hard drives are all labelled with "sdx", and generally hard drives take the first few letters. So, in your case, there may have been an issue with thunar referencing an outdated fstab file that had the wrong device locations for your usb-sticks/usb-drives.
In my case, I had to do the following: Code:
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat noauto,user 0 0 [later edit] It turns out that the device for the second usb is /dev/sdd1, rather than /dev/sdc2. I just tested this, and it works. |
