Automount + pcmanfm

automount USB-sticks/hdds with pcmanfm work perfectly, then i made a system update and now its only possible to mount manually.
How can i fix this?

after those issues with pcmanfm from the repos, i installed pcmanfm-git from the aur and udisks from the repos
pcmanfm-git is hal independant but can't handle any devices by default, so you have to edit the file: /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
and change <allow_any>no</allow_any>, to <allow_any>yes</allow_any>   (at the very beginning of the file)
+ start dbus as daemon
thanks for the reply. i will report back how it goes for me.

  • [SOLVED] Cannot automount PCManFM

    I use Openbox and no desktop environment. My file manager PCManFM cannot automount removable devices and the trash supports, which need gvfs and it is installed, does not work. Recently I had cleaned the orphaned packages and maybe something broke it, since it was OK before. In virutalbox I can use the external hard drive and flash disks but not in Arch. Any thoughts?

    That was the D-BUS. I erased text from the .xinitrc and wrote it again, so now it OK. Thank you for your time.

  • Automount + pcmanfm + openbox

    I have hal, fam, portmaps and all of that installed, and in my daemons list. I want my internal partitions (which is another ext3 partition and a ntfs partition) to mount and appear in /media at startup. In gnome it would be done automatically, in thunar it would not work at all, in pcmanfm they appear in the sidepane but they mount once I click and access them, which is annoying, I want them to be mounted from the beggining. I'm not sure if I have to modify my fstab, and even so I'm not sure how to add the UUID lines.

  • Pcmanfm-git Automount issues in lxde

    I just installed archlinux lxde on my netbook with pcmanfm-git instead of normal (for udisks mounting) but i have an issue. I log in and it gives me a warning:
    Error mounting: mount: /dev/sdb1 already mounted or /media/... busy
    if I uninstall the git version and install reg pcmanfm, the error goes away, but i lose automounting.
    Anyone have any clues about this?
    EDIT: was experimenting, but it seems if I remove pcmanfm from autostart (lose my desktop) it fixes itself. Does this mean i'll need to use nitrogen for my wallpaper? I should note that i use compiz for my wm, as i'm sure that makes a difference.

    I have a similar problem in nautilus when I have a mount listed in my fstab.  There are 2 instances of all drives in nautilus because of my fstab file though so if you have only one on the left your problem is probably different.
    @edit, I used compiz to set the wallpaper via the wallpaper plugin in ccsm.

  • [SOLVED] hal, udev, udisks, pcmanfm, policy kit, automount confusion

    Hello all,
    I'm having a problem getting pcmanfm to recognise my external HD in the left panel, although it can be mounted manually. Upon searching this forum and the wiki to find a solution all I have managed to do is confuse myself.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Last edited by guriinii (2010-09-26 00:53:53)

    The pcmanfm in Arch currently uses gvfs/gnome-disk-utility for mounting. I'd suggest either install pcmanfm-0.5.2 which uses HAL directly, or a git version of pcmanfm which uses udisks directly. In either case though, you'll need ck-launch-session.

  • [solved] Automount USB disk on startup?

    Hi!
    I've got an external USB disk that's always connected to my computer (it sits in a "slot" in my computer) and I'm having trouble getting it to automount upon startup. I use openbox as WM and pcmanfm as FM. To mount it I have to access the disk through pcmanfm and then it gets mounted perfectly. Since I've set up my computer as a freevo media center it's kinda annoying that the disk doesn't get automounted and I have to drag my a** out of the couch to mount it.
    My fstab looks like this:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information
    # <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    none /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
    none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    /dev/dvd /mnt/dvd udf ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
    /dev/sda1 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda3 /var reiserfs defaults 0 1
    /dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults 0 1
    /dev/sdb1 /extra ext3 defaults 0 1
    I tried to add:
    /dev/sdc1 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 1
    but get a error message during boot that filesystem can't be checked and the entire boot process halts. So I canged it to:
    /dev/sdc1 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 2
    but then the disk didn't get mounted.
    How can I get this to work?

    sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/disk ext3 defaults 0 0 in rc.local gives this:
    Usage: mount -V : print version
    mount -h : print this help
    mount : list mounted filesystems
    mount -l : idem, including volume labels
    So far the informational part. Next the mounting.
    The command is `mount [-t fstype] something somewhere'.
    Details found in /etc/fstab may be omitted.
    mount -a [-t|-O] ... : mount all stuff from /etc/fstab
    mount device : mount device at the known place
    mount directory : mount known device here
    mount -t type dev dir : ordinary mount command
    Note that one does not really mount a device, one mounts
    a filesystem (of the given type) found on the device.
    One can also mount an already visible directory tree elsewhere:
    mount --bind olddir newdir
    or move a subtree:
    mount --move olddir newdir
    One can change the type of mount containing the directory dir:
    mount --make-shared dir
    mount --make-slave dir
    mount --make-private dir
    mount --make-unbindable dir
    One can change the type of all the mounts in a mount subtree
    containing the directory dir:
    mount --make-rshared dir
    mount --make-rslave dir
    mount --make-rprivate dir
    mount --make-runbindable dir
    A device can be given by name, say /dev/hda1 or /dev/cdrom,
    or by label, using -L label or by uuid, using -U uuid .
    Other options: [-nfFrsvw] [-o options] [-p passwdfd].
    For many more details, say man 8 mount .

  • Udev/hal rules won't automount my ipod

    After following directions in the wiki articles on hal and udev to get my ipod to automount and generate the /dev/ipod device, I'm at a loss because nothing seems to work as explained. (I'm running Arch64 with LXDE)
    I've added the following rule to /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ipod.fdi:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <device>
    <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.model" string="iPod">
    <merge key="volume.policy.desired_mount_point" type="string">ipod</merge>
    <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset=iso8859-15" type="bool">true</merge>
    <merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.sync" type="bool">true</merge>
    </match>
    </device>
    I've added the following rule to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-ipod.rules
    BUS=="usb", ATTRS{manufacturer}=="Apple*", ATTRS{model}=="iPod*", KERNEL=="sd?2", SYMLINK+="ipod", NAME="%k", GROUP="storage"
    When I plug in the ipod, Pcmanfm will show 'Apple Ipod Music Player' in the left column with the other drives. When I click on it, it will properly mount the ipod to /media/{name of ipod}. I would like it to mount every ipod at /media/ipod, and create a link /dev/ipod. I haven't put anything in the fstab yet, but in any case, the /dev/ipod link is not created. I know the udev rules work, because it will create the correct link for /dev/pilot when I plug in my Palm.
    Help! I'm trying hard to wrap my brain around this, and I don't understand why it's not creating the /dev/ipod link. I've restarted the computer and restarted hal and reloaded udev rules multiple times with no changes.
    Thanks!
    Scott

    Ahhh....thank you!  If I take out the 'last_rule' option it does indeed show up on pcmanfm. However, I think it's happening somewhere outside the parsing of the udev rules (perhaps HAL???) because even if I moved the local rules to the very last (99-local.rules) but kept in the 'last_rule' option, it would still not show up.
    Now, second problem is trying to distinguish between flash drive and ipod. I thought you could use a != on an attribute. The rules below still result in /dev/sdb2 on the ipod getting mounted twice .... once to /media/ipod and once to /media/usbhd-sdb2.

  • [SOLVED]Udev: How to easily automount usb/storage devices?...

    Hello there everyone, first time posting here.
    So as for my question, I recently finished up my preferred install for arch but I have just one problem. Can't seem to get Udev working right.
    Before I was using debian with the same Udev automount rules posted in the wiki actually. Then I tried the same ones migrating to arch but they don't seem to work. After searching for my netbook, getting the runaround, then searching for an alternative method and getting the same it's getting kind of annoying. So here I am.
    I'm running Arch with LXDE and all default DE components(PCmanFM, openbox, etc). I don't have HAL installed, only udisks and udev as PnP support. Any help?
    (Also in specific, I was using the second rule in the Udev wiki page. The one with LUKS support)
    (Ah, nevermind is was just a tiny bit of a syntax error. A little bit more googling helped me find the answer)

  • Cannot automount drives

    Hello to all, I've been using arch for about 2 years now, and I have never really had any issues with it(that I couldn't solve by reading the wiki) until now.
    I have been learning to understand how systemd works and it seems coherent to me, except for one thing: I cannot make it so my additional partitions and usb drives mount automatically.
    or maybe I should clarify.
    Before, with consolekit in /etc/rc.conf, and using openbox, all I had to do was in ~/.xinitrc 'exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch openbox-session' and whenever a drive was connected all I had to do was to open nautilus and clic on the entry for that device on the panel on the side and it would automatically grant me read and write access as a normal user without asking for passwords, and it worked wonderfully.
    Now, I still see the entries in nautilus, but when I clic on them, I get a message saying that I'm not authorized to perform that operation,
    systemctl list-unit-files shows that dbus.service, autfs.service and udisks2.service are enabled and usdisk.service is disabled so that it does not conflict with udsik2.service.
    I am on the storage and the disk groups, and if I do 'sudo udisks --mount <device>' the device mounts without issues, so udisks does work fine, I just don't know how to set it so I can just clic on the device on nautilus and access the drives.
    any help would be greately appreciated.

    This weekend I made a fresh install in a USB stick, and I have the same problem.
    I have, Openbox, PCManFM and Tint2. Another packages, udisks2, gvfs, gamin, polkit, polkit-gnome, libfm and finally udisks (I was trying everything).
    Too, try in groups storage and disks, out in groups. Several policy-kits... and I can't see another USBs.
    Comparing with my anothers Archs (they are using console-kit-daemon.service); so, I can't see if a 'service' is missing.
    This is systemctl output: (automount no working because pcmanfm can't see any media)

  • No USB storage automounting in LXDE

    I'm running LXDE on top of Arch. I have followed the wiki, but it still does not seem to automatically mount my USB storage devices.
    I can use dmesg to see that the device is inserted and recognized. I can manually mount the device and copy files.
    I have done the following:
    * Check the checkbox to automatically mount inserted storage devices in PCManFM
    * Ensure that udisks2 is installed
    * Add the policykit file described in the troubleshooting section of the PCManFM wiki (even though the problem it describes isn't exactly my problem)
    This thread appears to be completely obsolete, so though I read it I didn't glean anything actionable
    It isn't clear to me whether this thread is relevant to my interests; the resolution certainly isn't.
    I can use udiskie to automount the USB media. Maybe I'm dumb for thinking that LXDE (or PCManFM) should do it for me without having to run udiskie first, but I figured I'd ask in case there's an easier way I'm not aware of.

    jasonwryan wrote:If you are running systemd, and have an active session, then the polkit rule is unnecessary, unhelpful even.
    OK, good to know. I'll remove the rule.
    Thanks for the replies. Lucke, your guess makes sense...that would explain why all the LXDE info for automounting assumes it will just automagically work, even though it clearly doesn't.

  • Pcmanfm in deamon-mode without ui

    Hey folks!
    I run pcmanfm on my openbox as filemanager. And there is the possibility to run pcmanfm as a deamon to automount usb-sticks etc. But there is some small problem: when I run
    pcmanfm -d
    the filemanager pops up. Since I want to autostart this deamon I do not want to start the gui of pcmanfm on every login. I just want it to run in background.
    Does anybody know a solution for this behaviour?
    Cheers and thanks
    Chris

    Hello,
    Still searching the answer for that. I think it's a bug.
    I'll file it on pcmanfm bug tracker... (edit : https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=d … id=801864)
    A working dirty hack, close the window
    (you need to "pacman -S wmctrl")
    pcmanfm -d&
    sleep 0.5
    pcmanpid=`ps -eo pid,cmd | grep "pcmanfm -d" | grep -v "grep" | awk '{print $1}'\`
    pcmanwindow=`wmctrl -lp | grep -e ".* .* $pcmanpid" | awk '{print $1}'`
    wmctrl -i -c $pcmanwindow
    One-line version I put in openbox autostart.sh
    ((pcmanfm -d&) && sleep 0.5 && wmctrl -i -c $[`wmctrl -lp | grep -e ".* .* $[\`ps -eo pid,cmd | grep "pcmanfm -d" | grep -v "grep" | awk '{print $1}'\`]" | awk '{print $1}'`])&
    It's possible to decrease the sleep if you see the window, but the launching time may vary. If it's too short it will simply not work and keep pcmanfm window.
    Instead of sleep, it would be better to wait for the window, but for now, I need to sleep...
    Cheers

  • The best and stable solution for automounting?

    There are several procedures for automounting disks and media devices here in Arch, particullary using udev and policy kit, autofs or fstab. I time by time face some problems with access to my second HD od to flashdisk and flashcard. This recently occured with the last upgrade. Static mounting is the best way for internal HD, so I add appropriate line in fstab and create a mountpoint (there are clear rules for permissions unique for fstab). Arch wiki for udev is also very clear to apply but no luck seeing my flashdisk icon on XFCE and LXDE desktop without acces to data. These DMs are activated by Slim in .xinitrc with ck-launch-session and dbus-launch. Fluxbox, in contrary, is started without policy kit and allow me to handle with flashdisk through XFE (both thunar and pcmanfm fail in mounting that). I do not use autofs nor pmount this time. Why automounting works well for year or more without any changes in configurations and after upgrade simply fails with no logic reason? Maybe I have a weak configuration of someting not complying with actual packages. But I have triple methods of automounting and only fstab for static volumes is rock-stable. The simpliest combination of fluxbox, XFE, udisks without policy kit also seems functional but with no services thunar and pcmanfm provide via policy kit.
    My comp use all my family, so it is provided with all the DMs and several light WMs.
    What is your best experience with automounting solution on your machines? Thank you all for sharing your tips and expanding wisdom!

    Thanks for your quick response, Inxsible. Hmm, I have just used devmon with no effect. My problem is in wrong authentication for udisk operation invoked by any means. I followed man and added 99-my-admin-configuration.conf file, also with no effect. Well, I try to mix fstab with udisks/polkit for good reason - fstab is well-approved and sysupgrade-resistant providing thus longterm automounting standard for HD that do not change often. When udiskie and devmon are suggested, why have them (or a better from the two) in AUR? By the way, I have deleted udev rule for automounting with absolutely no change comparing to with the rule state before. System must be consistent in function with the most comprehensive components, not left depending on some helper apps from AUR, despite those clever and functional design...

  • PCManFM Device Icons on Desktop?

    I've just set up an old PII box with Arch, IceWM and PCManFM. I've managed to get it to show a "My Documents" icon on the desktop but when I mount a USB stick it does not create a desktop icon. Is there a way to configure it to do this?

    I've just set up an old PII box with Arch, IceWM and PCManFM. I've managed to get it to show a "My Documents" icon on the desktop but when I mount a USB stick it does not create a desktop icon. Is there a way to configure it to do this?
    Thanks
    I don't believe pcmanfm handles automounting of removable media. You might try using the ivman and pmount utilities (thats what was suggested to me anyway). Oh and make sure you have hal loaded up first.

  • No automount and no wpa wireless after migrating to openbox

    I've just tried openbox after I removed kde.(everything was fine there)
    now both pcmanfm and thunar are not able to see the removable devices and the devices are not even mounted in the /media. so I think maybe the problem is with systemd-logind 
    I also cannot use wpa/wpa2 encryptions for accessing wireless, using nm-applet
    the networkmanager, wpa_supplicant services are all enabled and active however the udisks service is not.
    I saw in the wiki the output of the command " loginctl show-session $XDG_SESSION_ID " must have "Active=yes" in it but I haven't such an output.
    I'm completely confused by all these Consolekit/logind things and I don't know what exactly should I ask here and what information is relevant so if you think that I have to add something to the question please let me know.

    hi, openbox doesn't manage automounts that is a feature for a lightweight desktop, not a bug. However you can use udiskie (pacman -S udiskie) to manage automount, just install it and put udiskie & at the end of your $HOME/.config/openbox/autostart
    Consolekit is not needed any more
