Since hal was deprecated each desktop tries to handle automounting itself. Where hal automatically mounted any removable devices, now each desktop does it in a separate and unique way and some desktops do not do at all.
As Greg advises doing automounting through udev rules a bad idea.
Without udev rules only a separate resident daemon can do automounting. udisks-glue was suggested in this context but it requites an extensive config file (an example can be seen here: http://www.calculate-linux.ru/blogs/show/214) The config file is not shipped with udisks-glue and no free third-party one is available.
The config still calls udisks command-line utility that is dependent on udisks version (incompatible with udisks2).
So what a solution is there foe USB and CD drives automounting? Should it remain a desktop-specific issue?
What is the advantage of handling it in a separate manner? All the major, maintained desktop environments seem to have no problem with automounting. So besides supporting old, almost unmaintained versions of desktop environments like KDE 3 and Gnome 2, what advantage would such a shared system have? -Todd -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
