hello,
I a am an slack 12.1 with blackbox.
I a problem with cd-rom :
I would like automounting all media (usb, cd-rom, dvd, cd audio etc).
I allready had got dbus-1.1.20 dbus-glib-0.74 dbus-python dbus-qt3 hal-0.5.10 hal-info-20080317 audiofile-0.2.6.
I don't have gnome or kde system.
I put ivman-0.6.14 pmount-0.9.17 cdfs-2.6.23.
ivman is daemonize on the user id when x start.
That's ok for usb and most cd-rom, dvd.
But I would like cd audio to appear on the file system (with cdfs), because I don't want any auto exec application (like some media player).
I want let the user choose what I want to do with the media (rip, play etc).
I don't want the user to use su root.
I don't want to do hole security in mount.
I just want the user can see the files on /media.
I put the rule on /home/user/.ivman/IvmConfigActions.xml :
<!-- liste CDs with audio tracks -->
<ivm:Match name="hal.volume.disc.has_audio" value="true">
<ivm:Option name="exec" value="mkdir /media/cdmusique" />
<ivm:Option name="exec" value="pmount -t cdfs '$hal.block.device$' /media/cdrmusique" />
</ivm:Match>
but I have the echo error on ivman :Erreur : nom de systcme de fichiers invalide 'cdfs' (name of filesystem invalid : 'cdfs').
That's the same on a term.
But on root I can do mount -t cdfs /dev/hdd /media/cdmusique, it's ok.
I though there is a problem with hal :
lshal say :
volume.fstype = '' (string)
so I create a new rule on /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/20thirdparty/
10-cdfs-policy.fdi :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match name="volume.disc.type" value="cd_rom">
<match name="volume.disc.has_audio" value="true">
<match name="volume.disc.has_data" value="false">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="string">cdfs</merge>
<merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">cdfs</merge>
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
</match>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
but there is no effect
I thing my hal rule is wrong but I thing too there is not the problem
Do you how to do pmount recognize the filesystem ?
thanks for any help,
Nico

Is your user in the audio and plugdev groups?

Hello,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, he has got the good permession I think.
I think the user can't mount by the normal way because mount command gives right to the standard user to mount something only if on the fstab this thing is premounting, that's why I wanting to use pmount.
Maybye I can daemonize ivman on root, not on the user account, but when I did that ivman didn't use anymore the volume.label information of hal to give name of the media, it's /media/cdrom, no more /media/[name of the cdrom] and I want it uses volume.label.
I may change the rules of ivman to have the same mount point on root than on user account.
Also I can daemonize on root and on user, I saw something like that working but that's not a nice way to have
daemon for one little work...
I think the best way is to find how pmount can know to cdfs filesystem, but I disn't find more information than the last date, so I hope someone give me the solution.

Nico,
