Mounting USB disks

arief.utama · External Since: May 04, 2007 Posts: 6

Hi all,

Since etch released and unstable became "unstable" again (which is
great for me), I no longer have automounting work for USB disks, or
other pluggable devices.

pmount work, though.

I'm using debian unstable's GNOME, with Clearlooks + Tango theme. If
more informations required, I'll be happy to provide them.

Any hints? Thanks in advance.

Please cc-me on replies, I'm not subscribed to this list.

All the best.

Maybe this is because gnome-mount depends on libeel2-2 instead of
libeel2-18, the only version in unstable, so that's some breakage. I
did "dpkg -i --force-depends" and don't see trouble so far.

Thats not true:

amir@sid:~$ apt-cache depends gnome-mount|grep eel
Depends: libeel2-2.18
amir@sid:~$ apt-cache policy libeel2-2.18
libeel2-2.18:
Installed: 2.18.0.1-2
Candidate: 2.18.0.1-2
Version table:
*** 2.18.0.1-2 0
500 http://ftp.de.debian.org unstable/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

There was some binary upload I think. Sorry...

Hi all,

I've got more info on this matter.

I tried to run gnome-mount directly:
gnome-mount -d /dev/sdb1

And it said "You are not privileged to mount the volume 'XXX'"

This is strange. I'm already in the group plugdev. Running gnome-mount
as root is also failed with the same message.

Installing pmount again and running it manually is working, 'though.

Regarding libeel2, I've already got the 2.18 version.

Anyone has an idea?
Thanks in advance.

All the best.
