Apparently, _Nicolas de Sereville_, on 28/12/04 08:33,typed:
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!
Nico
Hi,
Sorry I couldn't reply earlier, been a but visiting people over the
holidyas :)
Regarding your USB icon problem, I would suggest you check
1) You are 'hal' and 'plugdev' group member.
2) you have installed:
$> COLUMMNS=150 dpkg -l hal *dbus* gnome-vol* hotplug pmount | grep ^ii
ii hal 0.4.2-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer
ii dbus-1 0.22-3 simple interprocess messaging system
ii dbus-glib-1 0.22-3 simple interprocess messaging system
(GLib-b
ii python2.3-dbus 0.22-3 simple interprocess messaging system
(Python
ii gnome-volume-m 1.1.2-4 GNOME daemon to auto-mount and
manage media
ii hotplug 0.0.20040329-1 Linux Hotplug Scripts
ii pmount 0.4.3-1 mount removable devices as normal user
3) that log messages appear in /var/log/syslog since the time you plug
in the USB stick till you plug it out. Why don't you list them here?
4) that you have options set to mount removable devices when plugged
in or inserted:
$> gnome-volume-properties
Other than that, I guess there is a bug at present in pmount which
will delete your mount pont in /media when you unplug your USB stick.
There is a bug report about this. It is #286936 in http://debian.org/Bugs
