udev-103 and easy/auto-mounting USB storage class devices?

Message

jeffk · Post by **jeffk** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 7:58 pm

I have a recent ~x86 2006.1 fresh install on an Averatec laptop. As with the removed 2006.0 before it, I have never had ubuntu-style easily/auto-mounted USB storage-class devices, and not even easy /dev/sda device mapping for quite some time. I'm looking for the proper gentoo way to enable this important convenience. I actually don't know *any* way to do it under the current udev usb mapping, so help is welcomed.

Excerpted below is most of the config information I can think of that may affect proper udev usb operation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Probably should post my run-time USB output!

What you need to do is to add yourself to the plugdev group

Code: Select all

usermod -aG your_username plugdev

and make sure hald is running on boot

Code: Select all

sudo rc-update add hald default

Ok, I now have the same problem, and I can't really figure out why. I use Gnome 2.16 ~amd64, as well as udev-106. Hald is running, my user is on the plugdev group, but the usb drives, altough detected when I run lsusb, are not automatically mounted.

Any ideas?
