I *can* mount removable media via pmount utility.
I never used the pmount utility, but are you sure it's not a suid binary?
it requires granted root permission :^) /etc/pmount.conf
I have a laptop which does not have the added line in /etc/pam.d/xdm which functions as expected, automagically mounts removable media.
Maybe memory is failing me here, wouldn't be the first time. But I can no longer, if ever, automagically mount removable media on the laptop.
I don't use the automount feature either (I'm paranoid, I know), but just for information, I've always been able to mount removable media in 12.1 without problems, even before adding the pam_systemd module as described in the original post. Probably your problem lays somewhere else.
I do and have and am able to manually mount removable and static devices just as I have been able to since ?? 5.0 in SuSE and previous that in Marmaduke. I appreciate the automatic mounting and miss it in 12.1.
Ok. I assumed that you were not able to mount devices from the "Device Notifier" widget as a normal user too. I now enabled the automounting feature on that widget and can confirm it works fine. I plugged a USB HD and inserted a data CD: both were automounted. Although I never really digged into that, it seems to me that in the process of mounting (and automounting) removable media systemd is not involved. What I see from a quick glance at the logs is udev and dbus are involved instead. However, mounting the CD showed that: udevd[4125]: starting '/lib/systemd/systemd-uaccess /dev/sr0 ' IMHO, that could explain why for Adam CDs and DVDs didn't work, although HDs did. I don't know why they are treated differently I'd like to know, just for information, if putting the pam_systemd entry helped Adam mounting CDs and DVDs... Regs, Javier
note that all devices listed in /etc/fstab do mount correctly including removable and networked devices.
I suppose someone will blame it on systemd :^) -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
