Hal automounting not working

Peacedog · 05-23-2008, 06:11 PM

A couple of thoughts, are you using AutoFS? Have you tried configuring KDE, Control center > Desktop > Behavior > Device Icons tab.
Good luck. ;-)

I tried autofs through the arch wiki but didnt noe what to to do at the step modprbe autfs4 as there was no modules like that.Yes all devices conncected show up on the desktop

Try purging AutoFS, just to be sure it's not conflicting.
Good luck.

How do you do that?

Peacedog · 05-23-2008, 06:49 PM

I just meant to uninstall it and make sure any config files are uninstalled with it.
Good luck. ;-)

I did that no difference still.This is pissing me off

Did you reboot or at least restart the dbus and hal services after uninstalling? Believe me I understand your frustration, I've had a few days like these myself. I'd go back to the start of the Hal wiki, now that autofs is uninstalled and start at step one, rechecking each step if I were you. You've made so many changes trying to get this working that something could've been overlooked.
Good luck. ;-)

Same story after reboot.Ubuntu hal works fine.I jus dont know whats wrong

Peacedog · 05-23-2008, 07:34 PM

As I posted earlier, I'd go back to step 1 of the Hal wiki and reckeck every step one at a time carefully.
Good luck. ;-)

Tried everything still no difference. Restarted my computer too.I have mangedto get it working using ivman.Now only eject from the gui is the problem.

Peacedog · 05-24-2008, 04:37 PM

There is a How to for ivman here, it's Gentoo based though.
Good luck. ;-)

Thanks peacedog for all your help.I learned so much now.Thanks again.Automounting works with ivman and to eject I use the eject command instaead of kiomount..

You're welcome, glad you got things working, albeit not exactly what you were looking for but, working just the same. There is always more than one way to skin a cat! ;-)
Good luck. ;-)
