[opensuse] mount question
Hello: I have openSUSE 11.2 with KDE3. I have several partitions on my hard disk which are not mounted automatically at boot since the 'noauto' option is used in fstab. But they can be mounted manually by any user since the 'users' option is also given in fstab. OK, here is my problem: When I login to my user name some of the partitions become mounted on the contrary of the abovementioned settings. If I login with other user name, the same partitions are not mounted. I think the culprit can be gnome. I used a few weeks ago gnome control center and/or nautilus file manager and this automounting activity started after that, I guess. I need help how I could turn off auto mounting. Any idea? Thanks, Istvan -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Istvan, I seem to recall when switching between GNOME and KDE, to avoid inconvenient and/or inappropriate 'sticky' settings, I'd use the /etc/sysconfig editor in YaST to manually select these items: under Desktop -> Window manager: gnome <> kde under Desktop -> Display manager: gdm <> kdm Worth a look, anyway. hth & good luck!

Hi Istvan,
I seem to recall when switching between GNOME and KDE, to avoid
I haven't switched between GNOME and KDE. I used nautilus file manager in KDE3 session.
inconvenient and/or inappropriate 'sticky' settings, I'd use the /etc/sysconfig editor in YaST to manually select these items:
under Desktop -> Window manager: gnome <> kde under Desktop -> Display manager: gdm <> kdm
My settings: window manager (DEFAULT_WM): startkde3 display manager (DISPLAYMANAGER): kde3 Though I don't understand how this is related to my problem. A GNOME user might help with this issue.

Thanks Carlos. Nautilus might be the culprit. When I login to my KDE3 session several gnome programs are started: nautilus, gconfd-2, polkit-gnome-au, gnome-do, gnome-do (copied from the result of ps -u myusername). How can I prevent them from starting in my KDE3 session? Why are they started at all, and what is the way to configure them?

Nautilus is not a "normal" file browser, it also does special tasks inside gnome, like drawing the icons in the desktop. You should never run it outside gnome, because it has unexpected side effects. I think killing it should be enough, I don't remember what mechanism it uses to start again in a new session, if it does, in kde. Kde has an autostart folder, I think, so look in there. KDE users may know how to tell kde not to start it again. It is not the first time I have seen this problem, but I don't remember how to finally stop it from reocurring. The rest of the programs you see running will disappear when you stop nautilus, they are auxiliaries. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.

This is what prompted my original reply to check the settings in /etc/sysconfig ... I realize now that Istvan's experience and circumstances are quite different, but the 'stickiness' of certain gnome desktop items, as unwanted artifacts when I returned to kde, was similar. This may be different now, but I learned back then to always use YaST's /etc/sysconfig editor to switch both items when wanting to change desktops. That procedure avoided unwanted artifacts / behaviors. I regularly run gnome and whenever nautilus or something under it's control misbehaves I just issue 'killall nautilus' which, in gnome, kills it and it automatically starts again. No idea how it behaves under kde :-) Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

That should not be necessary, I have users (myself with different names) with kde and others with gnome. Both work right with the same sysconfig values - even at the same time. However, if you are running gnome, close it, and then use the same user with kde, sometimes you get interactions, because not all tasks from the previous session die in time. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

I'm sure that's the case, now, but as I wrote "back then" it was about SuSE 9.x-ish. While in theory it shouldn't have been necessary, in actual fact it was ;-) KDE didn't like gdm or vice versa Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
