I installed the kernel 2.6.9 through "apt-get install
kernel-image-2.6.9-1-k7", but nothing is changing. When I plug in my
stick and camera, the devices nodes are created in /dev but the devices
are not mounted, neither as a user nor as root (which used to work a few
days ago!). I don't remember having changed anything apart from
upgrading the system.
The versions of some packages are given here:
ii dbus-1 0.22-3 simple interprocess messaging system
ii udev 0.050-2 /dev/ management daemon
ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-1 Linux Hotplug Scripts
ii hal 0.4.2-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii gnome-volume-m 1.1.2-5 GNOME daemon to auto-mount and manage
media
Reading the man pages of pmount it seems that a few conditions should be
verified, which I think is the case:
The mount will succeed if all of the following conditions are met:
- <device> is a block device in /dev/
- <device> is not handled by /etc/fstab (if it is, pmount calls
'/bin/mount <device>' to handle this transparently; supplying a label
is not
allowed in this case)
- <device> is not already mounted according to /etc/mtab and /proc/mounts
- if the mount point already exists, there is no device already mounted
at it
and the directory is empty
- <device> is removable (i. e. on USB or FireWire bus, or
/sys/block/drive/removable == 1)
- <device> is not locked (see below)
However when I use pmount in a terminal as a normal user ("pmount"), it
tells me:
zsh: permission denied: pmount.
Can someone having udev/hal/hotplug/gnome-volume-manager running check
the permission of the pmount file. I have:
-rwSr--r-- 1 root plugdev 22K 2004-12-16 19:24 /usr/bin/pmount
I tried to make executable this file for everybody and then I can pmount
manually the device (pmount /dev/gyp-cl-usb /stick) but it doesn't work
automatically when I insert my stick.
Well as you can see I am stuck, so any ideas are welcomed!
