It is as if either gvm is not doing anything or as if gvm is not getting to know about these partitions or the plugging of the USB stick.Have you checked to make sure that hald is running? On my system hald seems to randomly stop working requiring a manual restart. As soon as I restart it things usually work just fine.
Yes, I have experienced that too: restarting sometimes makes everything work okay but most of the times, it doesn't. I am just not able to get the problem at the throat :)
hald is running: #> ps uax | grep haldhal 3643 0.0 1.3 9556 3564 ? Ss 11:26 0:00 /usr/sbin/hald --drop-privileges
I also read the /usr/share/doc/gnome-volume-manager/README.Debian and added myself to plugdev group, reloggedin and noticed it made no difference.
BTW, what libs do I need installed for all these things to work properly and also are there any kernel options I must have enabled? I am trying to think about all possibilities that come to my mind.
thanks for your help, I really appreciate it, ->HS
