That didn't help unfortunately.

I've just followed that document and automount is now working for the first time in ages! I once again have my IPOD and USBDISK as icons on the desktop.

Previously, problems had started with having to use some '~arch' packages, which lead to having to use '~arch' versions of 'hal' and 'ubus' not compatible with Gnome 2.10.

When Gnome 2.12 was marked stable, this didnt solve automount; neither did just joining the 'plugdev' group.

Going through the above upgrade doc, making sure that all USE flags where present (I think I lacked one, but had most), rebuilding with '--newuse', etc., has finally worked.

This with kernel 2.6.14

Code: Select all

Okay, I've solved my problem by downgrading hal and dbus now.

I solved my problem as well. I had to emerge pmount. I think it should be installed as a dependancy of kdebase-kioslaves not only for 3.5, but also for 3.4.3!

Same problem here..

A question: shouldn't there be an utility caller fstab-sync on $PATH ? How do we configure things to use pmount instead? I say this because I don't have it in my $PATH, but I believe it used to be there..

I think it got removed with the upgrade. There was a message about it in the emerge output.

On the output from which package?

Well I thought it was the output from hal, but looking through the ebuilds I cannot see anything.

There is some output in an older ebuild about fstab-sync being a security risk, so maybe it was removed??

I take it that it's still hal's job to make mountpoints?

I've just upgraded to 2.6.15 - and same problem. I've put a bug up about it too.

hi
i have a strange problem, when i plug in my usb stick for the firs time after a reboot everything is ok but if i plug it in for the second time it's not working, even dmesg doesn't show that i plugged anything

Maybe you need to umount after the first time?
