| luca_i | hi all, i'm chasing a bug that I assume lurks in GNOME somewhere | 09:39 |
|---|---|---|
| luca_i | GNOME won't automount (most) USB devices anymore | 09:40 |
| luca_i | the problem is, I don't quite know how to go about finding the cause of this, it must be somewhere in HAL | 09:40 |
| luca_i | it would be great if someone could give me some pointers on where to look or what to read to learn more | 09:41 |
| luca_i | for reference, the bug is https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/368959 | 09:41 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu bug 368959 in ubuntu "USB devices is not being automounted after connect it" [Undecided,New] | 09:41 |
| mpontillo | luca_i: hm. first I would stop HAL and run "sudo hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes" to see if any useful trace messages appear... then maybe try to figure out how to get dbus-monitor to show me what messages HAL is emitting. not sure what component is supposed to listen to the messages and automount, though. I've always clicked on the drives in "Places" to mount them. | 09:53 |
| luca_i | it used to be that usb devices would automount on plugging them in | 09:54 |
| luca_i | now, not only does taht not work anymore, but if i try to manually mount tehm in "places", i get an error message | 09:54 |
| luca_i | mounting from the command line works, though | 09:54 |
| luca_i | anyway, i'll try your suggestions, thanks | 09:55 |
| luca_i | this was exactly the kind of reply i was hoping for | 09:55 |
| mpontillo | yeah I saw that note about gnome-mount in the bug. (that was going to be my next question.) I worked with a guy a couple days ago whose drives weren't mounting even with gnome-mount because of some stale gconf keys | 09:55 |
| mpontillo | good luck | 09:55 |
