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.
Your assumption *is* correct. I can *manually* mount and/or via pmount utility, but not via "Device Notifier" widget and it is/was configured to do so.
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...
I see the same. I cannot mount cd/dvd's automagically, but can *manually* or via pmount. Devices listed in /etc/fstab including nfs and external sata (have not tried usb) mount as expected. -- (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
