Hi list,
I have the following problem using debian sid (kernel 2.6.8-1). I am
trying to get an icon automatically when I plug in my usb stick or
camera. I use udev / hal / gnome-volume-manager. As a normal user the
links in /dev are created following the udev rules file, but the device
is not mounted (pmount problem?) and hence doesn't appear on my desktop.
Starting a X session as root, everything is working correctly. My usb
stick and camera are detected, mounted and a nice icon appears on the
desktop.
So I guess I have a problem of permissions or groups for a normal user
but I cannot figure out what? Following a few recent threads concerning
this topic in the archives I made me member of the "plugdev" and "hal"
(necessary?) group, and the device node in /dev are created in the "hal"
group.
Any help will be very apreciated!
Nico
A few technical information:
1- udev rules for my usb stick:
BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd*", SYSFS{product}="USB Mass Storage Device",
NAME="gyp-cl-%k", SYMLINK="gyp-cl-usb%n", MODE="0660", GROUP="hal"
2- /etc/fstab information:
/dev/gyp-cl-usb /media/stick auto rw,user,noauto,sync
0 0
