As long as one doesn't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE, ivman was a nice

tool to get automatic hot-plug mounts in these environments.
I rebooted and am happily working in KDE without ivman or hal. And yes, my usb sticks and pc cards and usb mouse all get inserted and mounted.
No, Marcus, I've not needed to install udisks-glue. It seems the rules in /lib/udev/rules.d are quite adequate
As I wrote previously and emphasized now, ivman (or a similar tool like udisks-glue) was and is only needed when you don't use GNOME, KDE, or XFCE.
In your situation, KDE takes care of personal automounts. This is well known and no surprise.
I'm talking about installations where (1) no full-fledged desktop environment like the ones named above is used, and (2) personal and automatic mounts of inserted USB sticks are wanted. E.g., my notebook where I use fvwm2 and Emacs as desktop environment. ;-)
I think we're talking at cross purposes. Yes, there have been threads in past years about the need for ivman even with kde or gnome, but that was then, this is now. While you were clear about ivman in the context of {gnome,kde,xfce} ... 1. I was _reporting_ that I was running successfully in 11.4 without HAL. You had implied that this was to be the state of affairs with 12.x. You didn't say that 11.4 could run happily without HAL. Since hal and ivman got loaded along with kde when I installed 11.4 with kde, its easy to assume that they are necessary. 2. You phrasing of udisks-glue wasn't as clear as your exclusion of ivman from {gnome,kde,xfce}. You made it sound like a necessary adjunct to udiskd. What I suspect we had back them was an incompltely described context. Now I now that you use fvwm2 whcih lacks many of the things we take for granted in {gnome,kde,xfce} I can make allowances for that in future discussions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
