 |

hi
there may exist a similar thread, but i didn't want to read all those threads, if there is a similiar please post me a link...
and here comes to problem:
when i plug in a usb stick, gnome-volume-manager (and hal...) seems to recognize it, nautilus gives me a nice icon, but it does not mount when i click on it because of 'couldn't execute pmount'...
so i tried entering 'pmount /dev/sda1' (sda1 is the usb stick!) and the stick gets mountet and i can access it...
why doesn't it work from nautilus and how can i fix this??
i have gnome 2.12 and kernel 2.6.15 installed...
mfg steff.

thx for the quick answer but i am already in the plugdev group:
| Code: | steff@steff ~ $ groups
wheel floppy audio cdrom video games usb users plugdev
steff@steff ~ $
|
here is a output from gnome-volume-manager, it may help (some of the messages are in german, though (i tried to translate it)...

the last but one message is complaining about wrong fs type, invalid options, the "superblock" of /dev/sda1 may be damaged or too many fs are mounted...
this:
mount: Laut mtab ist /dev/hda5 schon auf / eingehängt
mount ist fehlgeschlagen
means that /dev/hda5 is already mounted at / and that the mount failed...
as already said: "pmount /dev/sda1" just works.... |

and this might also be interesting:
works... oke i told you about that three times, but heres now the interesting part:
| Code: | | pmount-hal /dev/sda1 |
does NOT work, and i think gnome-volume-manager executes pmount-hal...
can someone tell me whats the difference between pmount-hal and ordinary pmount?? and why does pmount-hal not work..? |

alright, i finally did it...
my problem was that the default encoding vor fat drives seems to be utf8, utf8 wasn't compiled in the kernel nor as a module...
i compiled it in and everything works.... |

Don't know how you figured that out, but thank you! I had a similar problem: ivman would automount my flash drive fine, but only if it was running systemwide. The per-user ivman would not automount the drive--so I couldn't unmount it without becoming root. I compiled the utf-8 module, and now it works.

hi there,
i have similar problem, but compile utf8 as module didn't help me. my default codepage for FAT is 850 and iocharset is iso8859-1. |
