I've been very skeptical about this utopia stack but I have to admit that it works extremely well.I just installed hotplug | hal | udev | dbus | gvm, but none of the packages asked me any configuration questions.It doesn't need much configuration.What did I miss?What makes you think you missed something?
1) if I run "mount" before and after plugging in the camera, there is no automatic mount created.
2) On any particular day the actual mount could be /dev/sda1 or /dev/sde1 or whatever. From what I've read, I expected to specify, for example, /sonyt3 as the permanant location and that the actual mount is linked from /sonyt3->/dev/sdXX? How does it know what I want the automatic mount linked to?
Am I looking at the wrong info? Maybe I'm confused between old and new methods? I read I needed a udev config something like the following, but in someplaces it seems to say that udev is not part of this system.
BUS="usb", SYSFS{manufacturer}="Sony", SYSFS{idProduct}="0010", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="sonyt3"
3) The installation of gvm didn't start it running. I launched it from the command line (tried both as root and as myself). Do I need to restart gnome for it to be launched automatically?
gvm prints out the following when I plug in my Sony T3 digital camera (usb mode):
I haven't gotten to the point of automatically having an application launched. The Sony T3 support USB, PTP and PictBridge. When set to USB mode, I plug it in and it automatically gets mounted but the mount point varies.
When you plug your camera in (providing it's supported by gphoto2) a dialog box should pop open asking if you would like to import photos. If this isn't the case: o make sure you have gphoto2, libgphoto2-2, libgphoto2-port0 installed o make sure dbus/hal is installed and running o make sure gnome-volume-manager is installed and running (gvm) o make sure you are in the plugdev group o make sure you are in the camera group

I haven't tried gnome-volume-manager in KDE. I would assume it works.
Anybody
know for sure?
