PostPosted: Fri Dec 23, 2005 7:58 pm    Post subject: [HOW-TO] Automounting with KDE-3.5.2 + pmount Reply with quote

KDE 3.5 has introduced a new mechanism for the detection of removal media. Upon a new medium being inserted, a notification box will pop-up, yielding a list of common actions for that type of media. It can range from a simple "Open in New Window" choice, or a "Play DVD Video in Kaffeine", depending. It is fully configurable, and represents a leap in Linux userfriendliness. Previous windows users in particular will find this feature extremely helpful.

Of course, there is a minimal amount of configuration involved to get it just right, and that's why I've created this guide to hopefully catch the key points.

Enabling Automounting with KDE

Step 1 - Set USE Flags

In order for automounting to commence, we must set some USE flags in /etc/make.conf to ensure that the backends are properly in place. This includes DBUS and the HAL daemon.

Code:
cat /etc/make.conf

USE="arts dbus hal kde qt"


Step 2 - Enabling ~arch for needed packages

NOTE: This guide may or may not work with the stable versions of udev, dbus and hal. However, it has been *tested* with the unstable versions. Feel free to give it a try with your own setup and report back results.

As this guide is designed for KDE 3.5, and 3.5 remains in the unstable branch of portage, we must be sure that it and all needed packages are located in /etc/portage/package.keywords. This section does NOT apply if you are running ~arch globally (ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" in make.conf). There are many packages to unmask in this manner, so we'll use a simple bash script to accomplish the job.

Code:
   # cd /usr/portage  # or wherever your PORTAGE_DIR is
  > for x in kde-*/*
  > do
  >    echo "<=${x}-3.5.3 ~<arch>" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
  > done


Of course, replace ~<arch> with the architecture for your system. We also must unmask some unstable versions of KDE's dependencies. Add the following lines to your /etc/portage/package.keywords file:

Quote:
~sys-fs/udev-079 ~<arch>
~sys-apps/dbus-0.50 ~<arch>
~sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1 ~<arch>
sys-apps/pmount ~<arch>


This ensures that the unstable versions of the required packages are merged, but no future unstable versions are merged, ensuring compatibility when updates are released. If you would prefer less recent but more tested versions of the packages, you can simply add
Quote:
~sys-apps/hal-0.47 ~<arch>
~sys-apps/dbus-0.36.2 ~<arch>
sys-apps/pmount ~<arch>


Step 3 - (Re)merging KDE

Assuming KDE is already installed on your system, you must now rebuild the needed packages to provide support for dbus and hal. The best way to accomplish this is to simply run

Code:
emerge -uDNav world


Upon completion, the packages will have been rebuilt, and dbus and hal will be merged. If this is a new installation, simply set your USE flags as described in step 1, then emerge kde-meta (for the split ebuilds) or emerge kde (for the monolithic ebuilds). You can also emerge kdebase-startkde for a minimalistic environment, however this will not provide you with the needed funcitonality for this guide to work. You must at least emerge konqueror following that.

Step 4 - Services and pmount

Now that your KDE installation is installed as required, we must start the services required. Begin by ensuring that you now have the following packages installed: (If you have elected for the more stable versions of packages, the version numbering will look slightly different)

Code:
# emerge -pv udev dbus hal pmount

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!
[ebuild   R   ] sys-fs/udev-079  0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/dbus-0.50-r2  USE="+X -debug -doc -gcj -gtk -mono +python +qt +xml2" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.5.1-r1  USE="+acpi -debug -doc -pam_console -pcmcia" 0 kB
[ebuild   R   ] sys-apps/pmount-0.9.6  USE="+crypt" 0 kB

Total size of downloads: 0 kB


The USE flags can vary, but that's the general idea. The next thing we must do is add these services to the default runlevel:

Code:
rc-update add dbus default
rc-update add hald default


Step 5 - Add User to Required Groups

Your user must be in the plugdev group for automounting to function as required.

Code:
gpasswd -a <USER> plugdev


Step 6 - Reboot and touchup

Now reboot your computer, login to KDE, ensure that the default settings remain in the KControl Center in Peripherals -> Storage Media. Finally, choose Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Icons and check the Show Device Icons checkbox. Apply the settings, and you're good to go. If all goes well, you should now be able to plug in a disc, (be it floppy, cdrom, or USB) and have it immediately recognized by KDE. You don't even need fstab entries!

Step 6.1 - Ivman and its role

Ivman is a tool used for the automounting of removal media. Upon insertion, the device will be automatically mounted in the /media directory. However, in order to constrain this topic to the point (the ability to mount and unmount with the kde 3.5 dialogue notification), we ask for you to take questions about ivman and its role to another thread, such as This Thread. For some more info on ivman and its setup, take a look at this Gentoo-Wiki Post

I hope this guide was of some help, as I see there were many problems getting this to work correctly for some users.

I'm sure this will help some people. A of couple suggestions/points.

1. I don't think the user needs to be in the haldaemon group.

2. Maybe setting the minimum unstable version needed for hal, dbus, and udev for KDE 3.5 would be a better idea. Having it ~arch for all unstable versions might be OK for people with experience, but a lot of noobies will follow this and this could led to a lot more problems or issues. (Look at all the issues in the udev 07X series)

1) Guide updated to reflect that change

2) The problem is that I'm not completely sure of the minimum versions required, I know simply that the udev 073 series didnt work, but the update to 077 fixed those problems. I'll do some testing/forum surfing and hopefully find out..

I can verify that it worked fine with these versions:
Code:
udev-070-r1 (stable)
hal-0.47-r2
dbus-0.36.2
pmount-0.96

Newer versions may or may not be better. (I know there were a lot of issues in the 0.71 to 0.77-rX range of udev.)

Just a quick questio, how does Ivman fit into all this? I was wanting to setup automounting but do it so that it would work at the command line too. Would it be possible to have one solution that fits all?

I don't know, but there are several threads already about ivman. (Turning off storage media in kcontrol is probably a good start)

I would suggest avoiding talking about ivman in this thread since this is where users tend to end up with problems.
They start trying all the different automount methods (gvm, ivman, pmount), and then they start having problems.

Ivman is not required since KDE-3.5, pmount and the new notification dialog render it useless in this setup, as the devices are mounted upon your selection in the notification. Ivman would actually conflict with this setup. Setting it up at the command line doesn't really go along with this guide, so I'd suggest some other solution be found because this is specifically designed for KDE and the graphical aspect.

right now udev-79 update from udev-71 (did not work with 71 so i put 79 to see if that is going to help)

this is the exact message from kde (doesnt look like its using pmount)

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: can't find /dev/sdg1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Many thanks for clearing things up - it is working on my machine now without problems. What a christmas gift* :wink:

@PhanLord: I first had this problem too, but only because i forgot to add myself to the plugdev group (see step 5 of this guide).


cheers,

My guess is you have some links in /etc/hal/device.d/ that weren't deleted. You should be able to delete the inner most directory.

Well all I know is that I had the exact problem and it took the udev update to fix it... I'm kind of shooting in the dark at this point, but I assume that after you added your user to the plugdev group, you logged out and then back in at least once? Can you test it as root to see if the problem persists? At least that might help us narrow the focus.

Also please post the output of `emerge -pv udev dbus hal pmount`

Ill test it as root tonight,

emerge -pv udev dbus hal pmount

These are the packages that I would merge, in order:

Calculating dependencies ...done!

[ebuild R ] sys-apps/pmount-0.9.6 +crypt 0 kB

i reverted back to 71 cause 79 doesnt even create device nodes, and devices dont even show up in a list

Maybe there is some leftover files from when you did have fstab-sync.
Is there any output from

Only other thing I can think of right now, is recompile kdebase-kioslaves making sure hal USE flag is set.

Actually, you could use both ivman and kde automounting together. I had issues with kde automounting usb storage devices as /media/sda1, /media/sdb1, etc, which is really not what I expect from my desktop computer. Hence, I setup ivman to start (it uses pmount, too) when I login to kde.

Now, when I plug in a usb stick, ivman mounts it to /media/usbdisk or whatever userfriendly name (and always the same!) and kde pops up a window. After confirming kde pop-up window, kde does not try to mount the usb stick again and it works. Alternatively, I could switch off kde media notifier, however I like it asking me to open the file browser for the new device. I am also able to use kde's unmount option while right-clicking on the desktop icon of the device.

My preferred behavior (and as such, the preferred behavior of this guide) is that the device only be mounted if we choose to open it. But I did not know that Ivman uses pmount and can be so easily integrated with this setup, thanks for the info.

I realize that, but I was suggesting keeping it simple.
Let noobies get this working first, then they can move to ivamn if they need to.
These threads get so convoluted so fast, and I think gives the wrong suggestion that KDE requires ivman.

Maybe Raftysworld could add to the end of his tutorial that if you want to add ivman support..., and then give a link to a new thread that takes over explaining ivman support/features etc. This way we keep things separate. Ivman questions/responses will be in that thread and plain KDE automounting questions/responses will stay in this thread.

Sounds like a plan :)
