How to auto mount usb drives as a normal user
Hi all,
I would like to auto mount usb drives as soon as i plug in the devices as a normal user. Can some one help please. |
Dbus should do that for you. What gui are you using? Are your normal users in the plugdev group?
|
you need to add your user to the plugdev and power group.
for example, edit your /etc/group file then change the lines plugdev:x:83:root power:x:84:root to look like (just change daedra to your user name) plugdev:x:83:root,daedra power:x:84:root,daedra |
First add ur user to plugdev and power group.
Automount, as far as i know will depend on which Desktop Environment/Manager your using.. in my experience XFCE auto-mounts the usb device, and opens up thunar. KDE has a panel applet (forgot the name). and in fluxbox i use PcmanFM as a file manager, so i mount using that. ;) |
