GNOME: How to get usbstick to auto-mount

Hi there,
This quite puzzles me. A few months ago, a friend of mine gave me his usbstick, and the thing just auto-mounted when plugged into a free USB port. Now I got my own stick, but no auto-mount, and mount /dev/sda1 doesn't work either ("no block device"). hotplug, dbus, hal, and udev are running. Do I need a special udev rule or something?
Is there an easy, step-by-step guide somewhere how to set up Arch linux to (auto-) mount usbsticks? The Wiki entry isn't very helpful.
Thanks,
-Sascha.rb

OK, forget it. The usbstick was broken, got a new one, works out-of-the box as it's supposed to ...
First time I heard of a broken usbstick, though. Just my luck.

  • How can I avoid showing auto-mounted drives of other logged in users on my desktop?

    For both me and my wifes profile on our MBP running OSX Lion I added a shared volume to the login actions (System Preferences - Accounts - [User] - Login).
    However when we are both logged in, her personal and my personal share are shown on both our desktops (i enabled showing of shares on the desktop). On my profile I can only access my share and hers is not accessible, vice versa on her profile.
    In the finder when connect to the server hosting the share I can not see her share, again vice versa for her profile.
    Anybody got any suggestions?

  • How to get iTunes to auto delete TV episodes that have been watched?

    Never had a problem with this until recently, so I'm wondering if the recent iOS update or iTunes updates changed it.
    I buy episodes of TV shows via iTunes. When I sync my iPad, the oldest 5 unwatched episodes of a show are copied to my iPad because I have that setting turned on. At this point in time, the box next to the episode is checked on both my Mac in iTunes and on my iPad because iTunes and both platforms know that the episode has not been watched yet.
    So then I watch a few episodes on my iPad. As soon as I finish watching an episode on my iPad, the iPad automatically unchecks the box next to it in the Videos app to signify that it has been viewed.
    But the next time I sync, those episodes remain "stuck" on my iPad. ITunes just keeps loading more and more episodes onto my iPod without cleaning up (removing) the episodes on my iPad that it knows I've already viewed.
    I've been watching TV shows and listening to podcasts for years on my iPhone, and iTunes always knew to remove "consumed" content from my iPhone during the next sync.
    Is the iPad incapable of doing this, or is there some special setting in iTunes that I have to configure?
    Any help greatly appreciated! Thanks.

    Test of same issue on iPhone:
    After downloading 3 episodes (same show, same episodes) to iPhone, played one. Afterward, it showed as "watched" on iPhone.
    Opened iTunes, plugged in iPhone, went to the Movies section on the iPhone, the same episode showed as unplayed when the TV shows area was selected under the iPhone in the left hand sidebar, AND when click right on the iPhone Device and going to the TV Shows panel (but this was probably because the iPhone hadn't yet been synced).
    During sync: it correctly UNchecked the watched episode in TV Shows tab with iPhone selected in the Device area in the left hand sidebar of iTunes.
    AFTER SYNC: the episode had been correctly REMOVED from the iPhone. THEREFORE, the problem is not with the iOS per se, or its implementation on the iPhone. It is with the iPAD!
    Further testing seems irrelevant.
    Houston, we have a problem—and it's with iOS 4.3 on the iPad.
    If someone could please test this on their iPad 1 or 2 and report back, that would be a huge help. Because there's always the possibility that my iPad hardware is in some way broken and that THAT is the problem.
    I have an iPad 1 with 4.3 (8F190).
    Thanks all!

  • Disable Auto-Mounting

    Hi Everyone,
    I have been searching forum after forum trying to find an answer to my question but am not having any luck. I have found one option but there has to be a better way. As I am taking a Computer Forensics major I need to disable auto-mounting of USB drives so I can manually mount the device with read-only options so I do not destroy evidence on drive I need to investigate.
    About 3 versions ago in Ubuntu I was able to just uncheck a box in the system settings so it would not auto-mount. Then they decided to get rid of that option because it was not compatible with changes they made to other parts of the system. So to get around the auto-mounting I found that I could shutdown hal, plug the drive in, issue my mount command, then finally restart hal so network manager and other services that needed it could run right. This seems kind of pointless to have to shut down hal and break things just so I can mount a drive. Since I recently left Ubuntu behind and converted to Arch I thought I would see if you guys had any ideas.
    I know I can add options to fstab but since I will get a different drive for every investigation this doesn't seem to be an option either.
    Any help you guys could offer would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Timn

    It is probably your window manager that does the auto-mounting, not arch. If it's gnome, there is a key in the gconf "/apps/nautilus/preferences/media_autorun" which you would need to disable. I do use FluxBox as a WM which does not do any mounting. These are the only window managers for which I can provide specific inforamtion. But no matte what you use, KDE, XFCE or something else, there should be a configuration that allows you to disable it.
    If that didn't help, please provide more specific information about your setup.

  • How to turn off auto mounting of server on boot?

    I've got an old MacPro that is running Mavericks but is having an issue where the finder constantly crashes and restarts. I think it may have to do with a an old server (an external Mac mini) that would mount when the MacPro booted up because I now get an error message telling me that the Mac Pro can no longer find that server (which makes sense as it is no longer there). If I leave the error window open and don't click 'ok', the Finder remains intact and the crash loop does not begin. If I click 'ok' in the server connection error window, the problems begin.
    …So, where do I "turn off" this auto mounting of the old mac mini on boot? I've looked in my Login items in the system prefs and no such task is there, and I can no longer recall how i even set up this automount function.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

  • Disable Gnome auto mount for one specific UUID

    I am using Gnome 3 (gnome disk utility,udisks,udev stack i think).
    I have a device (Garmin Edge 800) that I am only going to use in Virtualbox so I want to prevent it from automatically mounting in Gnome. However I want other devices to auto mount as normal so disabling auto mount entirely isn't an option.
    The device got two UUIDs and previously I could write a HAL fdi policy to ignore devices with those UUIDs, but now that HAL is deprecated I am not able to figure out how to do this.

    There's probably a udev config file somewhere (udev wiki perhaps) but you can do it with fstab "noauto" that's what I do for partitions I don't want to auto mount.

  • How to get my Drobo FS to mount in Mountain Lion Server.app

    Hello Everyone,
    Thanks in advance for the help. I am struggling with getting my drobo fs connected to my AE to show up in the server.app. I want to use my drobo fs as a mass storage device for the server since the server has a small hard drive. But I cannot seem to figure out how to get it to show up when I try to start the time machine service or include a folder on the drobo in the file sharing service. Does the server.app recognize or see network drives? The drobo connects as a server to the ML server, do I need to install drobo dashboard to get the server to see it as something else? I tried to create a share with the time machine option to see if it would mount as a local drive but it only mounts as a local. I think I'm on the right track, server.app only sees local drives but is there a way to get it to see my network drobo fs? Also, can I connect the drobo to the server (forgive me if this seems confusing), my mac mini via a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter? Would a direct connect change the way the mini mounts the drobo thus enabiling server.app to see the drive as local?
    Thanks again for the help....
    Also, when the drobo is connected to the AE it is assigned an ip 10.0.1.2, I connected it to my mac mini and the mac mini to my AE via wifi and the server.app had a fit because the ip addresses changed. I was unable to get the drobo to mount. I could reset the drobo as I do not have that much information on it. I could backup the drobo and restart anew which, I think, would allow the mac mini to create an ip for the drobo.

    I guess in another forum that I posted this the question is not clear.
    I want the drobo which is basically a NAS to show up when I try to implement the time machine service in the server.app. I have the drobo mounted and all is working fine but when I try to implement time machine in server it only shows me my internal (local) drive and not the drobo. I am wondering if it is due to the drobo connecting to the mac as a server itself (ip address assigned). Would an adapter help me with this? Such as a thunderbolt to ethernet adapter or ethernet to USB 3.0? would that create another ethernet connection on the mac or could I get the mac to see that connection as it is a USB or thunderbolt connected drive?

  • How Do I find out what app is auto-mounting a network share and stop it?

    I have a new laptop, the 13" rMBP.  I installed Steam and wanted to use the network share on my server to store the game files.  Everything went OK.  I closed Steam, disconnected the share and shutdown my laptop.  When I opened my laptop later on at work, it started to try and mount the network share.It keeps on going it.  I removed the Steam app and all files related to Steam that I could find.  I've looked at fstab, auto_home, auto_master and a large list of other files and directories and I *still* cannot find the offending file that's auto-mounting the share.  It's really frustrating.
    The share auto-mounts when I am home but not on the desktop or in finder.  I find it by looking at /Volumes/ in terminal.  If I mount the share manually under /Volumes/ it shows as Games-1 and mounts on the desktop under Games.
    Does anyone have any ideas on where I should be looking to find the offending process/file/daemon?
    Thank you!
    Trevor

    thanks for the reply but are you sure about this? What difference would it make? Why 5 apps?
    Even if it does work, which I doubt, at some point, I will have to resync ALL my apps again and surely the same thing will happen again, and I will be none the wiser. I still won't know which app it is. There must be a way of finding this out.
    Any ideas?
    What is really freaking me out is how it is connecting to my carrier (who is charging me) with Cellular data switched off.......?
    Thanks again.

  • How to get Auto scroll bar in a JSP?

    Hi Gurus,
    I have created a custom jsp page in a B2B application. How to get the auto scroll bar when page is exceeded than it can display?
    Is there any specific tag or div which is to be included to get this scroll bar?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!
    Regards,
    Lakshman.

    Hi Lakshman,
    You can include it in stylsheet and then use that class in your <body> or "div"  tag.
    the CSS command is
    overflow:auto;
    you can use like
    <body style="overflow: auto;"> or -- div style="overflow: auto;" 
    You can declare class in ".css" file
    #c1
    .c1
    <body id="c1>> or <div id="c1">
    <body class="c1>> or <div class="c1">
    You can use either "class" or "id" by adding it to "CSS" file and the use it to any JSP file or by direct aditing "Style" attirbute in tag.
    so when your content is longer then your screen browser will display scroll bar automatically.
    I hope this will help you.
    Thanks and Regards.

  • How to get the date of the last transaction in a mounted standby database?

    Hello,
    Could you tell me how to get the date of the last transaction recorded in a MOUNTED standby database?
    The following query doesn't work...because the database is not open...
    select scn_to_timestamp(current_scn) from v$database;
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You should be able to run the following command in mounted mode on standby database.
    select current_scn from v$database;
    then run the following to convert it to timestamp.
    select scn_to_timestamp(99999999) from dual; *<-- Replace here the SCN value you got above. This needs to be run on the primary database due to standby database in mount mode.*
    Alternatively you can also check at the alert.log file to find the last scn which has been applied.
    Regards

  • How to get auto proxy configuration from plugin?

    I need to retrieve the name of the client's proxy server to pass it along to my signed applet (because it doesn't seem to be getting the information automatically despite the fact that the java plugin is set to the use the browser settings for proxies).
    The Java Plugin loads the proxy server information based on the browser preferences, but I haven't figured out how to retrieve that proxy information from the Plugin itself. Sometimes the javaplugin.proxy.auto.url system property is null, even if the browser (MSIE) is configured to use an auto-configuration script/url for the proxy server configuration. I can see in the Java Console that the plugin knows the auto-config url, so how can I access that property from within my applet?
    Even if javaplugin.proxy.auto.url is not null, I don't know how to call the javascript function at that URL from within the applet to get the proxy server host name and port.
    Does anyone know how to get the proxy information from the plugin?

    Thank you! Indeed, the answer was there, but I hadn't been able to find it earlier (I guess I was searching on the wrong forums). For those who might be interested, here's the thread that helped:
