Hi guys |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I'm using GNOME on gentoo and I like the behavior where usb drives will pop |
| 4 |
up a nautilus window |
| 5 |
on plugin. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
I always expected this behavior on CDs as well, but for some reason, I only |
| 8 |
noticed today |
| 9 |
(after quite a while of using, since I haven't plugged in a CD for quite a |
| 10 |
while) that it doesn't |
| 11 |
work. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
So I've been investigating a bit on some things to check. |
| 14 |
1) my cdrom mount point. |
| 15 |
the cdrom mount point is owned by root.cdrom and has |
| 16 |
rwx,rx,- permisions |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
All relevant users are members of the root.cdrom group. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
however this seems to me completely irrelevant since as |
| 21 |
far as i recall, gnome-volume-manager should automatically |
| 22 |
just create a mount point for the cdrom. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
2) my fstab entry |
| 25 |
I've tried without an fstab entry, and with. When I work with |
| 26 |
an entry, it looks like this: |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
/dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 users,noauto 0 0 |
| 30 |
|
| 31 |
again, this looks irrelevant to me since my alternate system (ubuntu) |
| 32 |
uses almost the same fstab with just root partitions switched around |
| 33 |
and the automount seems to work fine. |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
3) plugdev membership. |
| 36 |
all relevant users are members of plugdev. |
| 37 |
plugdev seems to properly create USB devices when things are |
| 38 |
pluggied in. |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
4) device file |
| 41 |
my hard disks are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb |
| 42 |
my cdrom is in /dev/hdb |
| 43 |
cdrom permissions give me |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
markd@trixie:~$ ls /dev/hdb -l |
| 46 |
brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 64 Mar 6 2008 /dev/hdb |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
this is i think statically created by udev. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
5) kernel and stuff |
| 51 |
markd@trixie:~$ uname -r |
| 52 |
2.6.23-gentoo-r3 |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
6) gnome-volume-manager -d no |
| 55 |
(runs gnome-volume-manager in the foreground) |
| 56 |
is completely silent. |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
7) The CDs themselves. |
| 59 |
They seem to work when I do a mount from the command line. |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
Is there anything else I need to check? I want the cdrom to pop up |
| 62 |
correctly. |
| 63 |
|
| 64 |
On a tangent, i noticed that all my partitions are appearing in |
| 65 |
the nautilus sidebar bookmarks and also my desktop. I have quite |
| 66 |
a number of partitions, so this isn't the behavior I expect. When I |
| 67 |
click my Places menu, I notice that my partitions are listed in removable |
| 68 |
media. How do I take them out? |
| 69 |
