[SOLVED]Gnome 3 / Nautilus removable devices doesn't automount anymore

I use Gnome3 with gnome-shell and openbox. Recently on nautilus my other partitions and removable devices does not show up. I can see the partitions on the terminal and mount them manually but i need to fix this. Please help.

if he is having this issue in Gnome-Shell specifically, then it's not the same issue. *Gnome-Shell uses it's own internal version of polkit's agent* ~ as discussed in that thread.. If he is using gnome-fallback (with openbox?), then that is where the polkit-authentification-agent-1 issue applies.
I started the thread you are referring to above,

  • Gnome-shell removable devices

    Hi guys,
    I have a partition mounted on boot in fstab:
    LABEL=DATA /media/data vfat defaults,umask=000 0 1
    This shows up in gnome-shell on the removable devices icon (in the tray).
    What is the reason for this?
    Is it because it isn't part of /home /boot etc, or is it caused by the mount point or filesystem type?
    (i.e. why doesn't /home get classed as a removable device, but mounting my data partition does?)
    The reason i ask is i simply want to remove it from the removable devices list.
    Cheers
    Kane

    Thanks,
    Yes i didn't realise until now that any partition mounted is added to the removable devices list (e.g. using nautilus)
    It's not such a big issue, i just don't class it as a removable device
    I would be happy with the simple functionality in nautilus (the tray icon annoys me for some reason).

  • [solved] Volume control in amarok doesn't work anymore

    Hi,
    since today in amarok (2.4.1) the volume control doesn't work anymore. I can change the level on the switch on the top right but it doesn't change the actual volume.
    The volume control in my KDE tray works as usual.

  • [solved] Gnome / Nautilus: Open With CLI programm

    Hello,
    How can I add CLI programs such as sxiv Image Viewer to the Open With context menu entry in Nautilus?
    In particular I want to open images with sxiv by default when clicking on the image in Nautilus.
    Thanks

    I think the list of "Open With" applications is created by reading the ".desktop" files that are on your computer. You can read about them here. The sysem files are in "/usr/share/applications" and your personal ones are in "~/.local/share/applications". Just create a .desktop file for sxiv that uses a command similar to the one cellisten posted.
    GNOME probably also has a way to create .desktop files with a GUI (I think it used to be called "alacarte").

    Did you copy your OWN file into a directory that's controlled by pacman?

  • [SOLVED] Gnome Shell remove top rounded corners

    There's something that lets me down with Gnome Shell's design: the rounded/circular borders on the top left and right corners of every single window on Gnome Shell.
    Does anybody know how I can change this, and make them rect? Or at least rectangular on maximized windows.
    Thank you!

  • [SOLVED] Laptop doesn't suspend anymore when closing lid [GNOME 3]

    Hi there!
    Since I upgraded to GNOME 3 recently, my laptop (Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820TG) doesn't suspend anymore when I close the lid. Instead, it just turns off the screen. If I choose suspend from the menu, it does suspend properly.
    I googled a bit and found out that the option what to do on closing the lid was dropped in GNOME 3, setting suspend as default action. That's exactly what I want...
    Also, I checked that option via gnome-tweak-tool and dconf-editor, and (surprise!) it was set to 'suspend'.
    Anyone got an idea what to do to make it suspend again on closing the lid?

    Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
    Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
    ** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
    If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
    EDIT:
    Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid
    Thread marked as SOLVED again.

    I have the same issue with kernel26-lts-2.6.32.41-1.
    Recent Arch updates made my favourite operating system of the worst kind: flashplugin freezez in 5 seconds, mozilla gets some freezes as well,
    copying files from one drive to another takes like 1.5h and many more weird things including some frequent performance abuses by the processes.
    I see Arch behaves like old Microshit products. Sad thing but I move to more stable distro very soon, because I have enough of fixing bugs 3 times a week, to make my Arch usable again. Before like 6 months ago updated were less frequent and surprises were once a month not twice a week. Outrageous.
    Perhaps Arch crew is overrun by the Apple guys, to compromise this distro, to encourage people to buy Apple products instead of using faulty Windowses or from day to day more troublesome Linuxes.
    Going to the point.
    So in response I wanted give LTS a try, but it drops me to recovery console (ramfs) saying that "Root device doesn't exist"

  • Thunar doesn't automatically mount removable devices

    This is a newbie question, but I cannot find how Thunar automatically mounts removable devices. I've read the wiki and it says that I don't have to do anything else besides installing Thunar. Once I plug in my removable device, it can be seen in lsblk, but I need to manually mount it using the terminal. Thunar doesn't do anything to make it appear in the file system. Did I miss something?

    karol wrote:
    https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Th … me_Manager says
    While Thunar can support automatic mounting and unmounting of removable media, the Thunar Volume Manager allows extended functionality, such as automatically running commands or automatically opening a Thunar window for mounted media.
    so thunar-volman shouldn't be required.
    Exactly. However, I tried to install the volume manager, but it didn't help. It should work without it.

    I didn't (judging from the fact that writing gvfs in the terminal didn't find anything). I installed it, but nothing changed. How to configure it?

  • Gnome 3.2 (unstable) wallpaper and removable devices

    hi Wonder,
    A) Just installed gnome 3.2 from gnome-unstable. And I noticed that the default striped wallpaper is having too much contrast and it is visually unsightly unlike the default striped wallpaper in gnome 3.0 to 3.1.92.
    Is there a change in wallpaper upstream? Cause I hate this too much contrast in the 3.2's default striped wallpaper.
    B) I noticed "Removable devices" in the status bar after I upgraded to 3.1.92? I want to remove it. I rather like the gnome-shell-places-extension than this. Can I remove it?
    thanks.

    aww, bad gnome decision, gnome's beauty is messed up! I reported a bug
    https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=660291
    Update: release team reverted the change... yay!
    yay! gnome 3.2.0.2 reverts to old wallpaper.

  • [SOLVED]Thunar stops showing removable devices

    Hi all,
    Today, I noticed that thunar has stopped showing me my removable devices. I don't know when this issue really happened really but all I know is that, last weekend when I inserted my mp3 device, Thunar showed it and I had an icon on my desktop. I hadn't modify any configuration files, just made all upgrades.
    Here are related packages installed here :
    extra/gvfs 1.10.1-1
    core/dbus-core 1.4.16-1
    extra/dbus 1.4.16-1
    extra/dbus-glib 0.98-1
    extra/thunar 1.2.3-2
    extra/thunar-volman 0.6.0-2
    Any ideas ?
    Thanks in advance

  • Udev: add mountpoints for removable devices

    Yet another solution to the removable devices problem.
    After a minor system overhaul I finally decided to get rid of a bunch of static mountpoints I had in /mnt. I checked Arch wiki, and what I saw there, well, raised some questions. I mean, it's udev, it's not supposed to be pretty, but pmount with a fixed user, as a recommended solution? Ugh.
    So I came up with a perl script that modifies /etc/fstab dynamically and creates mountpoints under /mnt, but doesn't actually mount anything. This way user mounts do not require any specific handling, and overall it looks nice and simple.
    To my slight surprise I couldn't find any good scripts that would do this even outside of the wiki (which is strange, btw, because the solution is obvious), so I decided to put it here. Maybe I'm not the only one who thinks auto-mounting is never a good thing.
    https://raw.github.com/nkf/udevh/master/udevh-sd | https://raw.github.com/nkf/udevh/master/README
    Comments, suggestions etc. are welcome.
    Please check the source and udev rules before doing anything, it's fstab after all.

    tomk wrote:As long as you're happy.....
    Well, yeah. I'm not a big fan of the current udev implementation, but this time it all worked very well.
    As for the man page, well, it's not really set in stone. Ok, I admit I didn't read it, in Arch at least, but anyway, there must be reasons to call it static. mount is a simple tool, it's clear how it works, that's the only file it reads, and I see no intrinsic features in mount that would require fstab to be static. I'd say it's more of an self-imposed challenge to treat it as static, and not a necessity. At least for current implementation of mount, and current format of fstab, with "user", "users" etc.
    Also, the kludgy automount suggestions on the udev page - pmount with fixed user ZOMG - are deprecated now in favour of udisks-based setups.
    Maybe it should be removed then, or at least clearly labeled as deprecated?
    Because when you read the page, it comes as a suggested solution. And udisks, well, I skipped that section at all, partly because it was above "Auto mounting USB devices", and party because it talks about KDE, Gnome and automounting.
    Oh, and btw: I've just noticed that the fixed user in that example is "tomk" ;-)
    falconindy wrote:I think you're in the minority of folks who think dynamically modifying a system config file as crucial as /etc/fstab is a good thing.
    Somewhat off-topic, but /etc/fstab is one of the least critical files in the system, and one of the easiest to fix.
    I didn't check with the current version, but if I'd was unable to boot without fstab, I'd call it a bug in initscripts.
    .:B:. wrote:There's nothing more easy than udisks - and there are plenty of frontends to it, like udiskie. (...) Reinventing the wheel is not always necessary.
    Well, I'm reading about udisks now, and the problem is, when I want a wheel, I want a wheel, not a Segway.
    I like my system to be simple (arch way and all), while this thing wants d-bus, polkit, some frontends and org.freedesktop.stuff.die.must.java style configuration variables just to be able to type "mount /mnt/sda1". Easy, maybe, for a given values of "easy"; simple, anything but.

  • [Solved] Recent update seems to have broke automount in XFCE

    I seem to have managed to break my removable storage support.  It had been working since installation several months ago.  I have made no modifications to anything in /etc other than those that would be performed by package updates.
    Tried copying /etc/skel/.xinitrc to ~/ and added exec dbus-launch ck-launch-session startxfce4.
    Checked output of groups to ensure I'm in the storage group.
    Checked for presence of org.freedesktop.udisks.pkla:

    [2011-10-17 09:09] removed gvfs-afc (1.10.0-2)
    Edit:
    Installed gvfs-afc and edited order on xinitrc to ck-launch-session dbus-launch startxfce4.  Seems to work.
    Never had to worry about any of these before though

    Hi,
    I automount four NFS mounts from my ubuntu server through /etc/fstab. This used to work perfectly. Until the latest filesystem update. The removable devices do not get mounted. They do not appear in Nautilus. But when I plug in a USB, they all get activated.
    Anyway, I will try your solution.
    Regards,
    Alexander

  • [SOLVED] Lid doesn't suspend anymore with xfce power manager

    The options "When laptop lid is closed" are set to suspend (and used to work), but still, when I close my lid, nothing happens. Using the logout dialog or the suspend button my keyboard works. Is it a problem with xfce-power-manager, or ACPI not registering the lid event anymore? Any idea how to fix that?
    [edit]
    I solved that problem by removing ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xfce4-power-manager.xml, killing the power manager and reloging in my session to flush the settings. Then I reconfigured the lid closed action to suspend (and everything else to my liking).

    Sorry to bother you again, but for some reason it doesn't work anymore...
    Somehow it can't lock the GNOME session, because when I enter the above line from /etc/acpi/handler.sh manually as root in TTY1, I get this error:
    ** Message: Failed to get session bus: Befehlszeile »dbus-launch --autolaunch=c9375f4ea0008d92177b28db000009ae --binary-syntax --close-stderr« brach mit von Null verschiedenem Beenden-Status 1 ab: No protocol specified\nAutolaunch error: X11 initialization failed.\n
    If I enter this command inside GNOME, everything works just fine, it locks the screen and suspends.
    EDIT:
    Setting the XAUTHORITY environment variable properly did the trick. Therefore, I borrowed some lines from here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Su … losing_lid

  • Problems with usb / sd removable devices (not/badly copying)

    Hi everybody
    the problem is when I plug an usb stick or a SD card, all with FAT32 fs, GNOME (I use gnome-shell) asks me if I want to mount and open the device.
    so, it loads properly and when it's open I can do all the things you are supposed to do with them.
    The issue first appaired when I copied some pics to an SD card. It appaired the progress bar saying it completed the copy process.
    So I umounted the device and removed it. Some other people said that actually there weren't any files in the SD card.
    Supposing it was bad/corrupted fs I formatted the card and put back the images there. Same issue. I was starting to think the SD card was damaged
    until I had the same problem while copying music to my phone (via USB cable).
    I noticed it created all the files but didn't store any actual data (e.g. size of files was always 0 byte) or even didn't do anything (neither created the file) sometimes.
    Searching the web I found that it wasn't syncing - so they told me to do the sync command on the shell - nothing solved.
    So as I read on the wiki [fstab], I mounted the devices with options "sync,flush", which in fact solved the problem.
    [Actually I later found that it works even without the flush option, just with the sync option]
    Doing so I solved the problem and could copy all the data to the devices.
    What I want to know is: how can I say to GNOME (or anyother GNOME uses to mount devices) "well, whenever I put a removable device, mount it with the sync option" ?
    thank you in advance,
    azzka
    PS: [not so important]: I noticed very slow copying bitrate, and I did what the wiki says about but didn't solve anything. Any ideas?

    Yep HV,
    Verify the discs in the disc utility and see if that works. It'll probably take an hour or so cos the disc utility's performance has been less than favorable.
    Try this: Turn off the computer, disconnect the drives, then restart the computer. Now, re-connect the drives while the computer is running, let them mount and see if you can eject them. One would assume it is a permissions issue, however, with the multitude of glitches appearing with ext drives and USB devices in Leopard it's hard to assume anything.
    Persevere!
