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.

WebIDE: Clone GIT repository issue

Hello Colleagues!
When I try to clone a GIT repository in the Web IDE, I am receiving the following error message:
4:34:48 PM (git) Clone request sent
4:38:01 PM (git) Clone request failed https://[email protected]/z_i840577_fiori: cannot open git-upload-pack
The GIT repository was created via Project Portal.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue?
Thanks and Regards,

Hello Firas!
This issue also happens when I clone a repository from the GitHub to WebIDE.
I added you to my project as a Project Team/Committers, so now you can clone the GIT repository. Please, try to clone it to your WebIDE and check if the same issue happens for you.
What kind of details do you want?
Thanks,

Automount Issue on Gnome 2.28: GDM Mounts USBs after 2nd Insert

Good evening everyone (at least, it's evening here at my part of the Universe),
I have been using Arch for the past month (and Ubuntu/Debian for two years) but am totally stumped on this odd behavior.
When I first installed Gnome, I got that 'Permission denied' dialog box everytime I tried to mount a USB, but quickly realized that it was because of the wrong exec line at the start of my .xinitrc. When I changed it to
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
I thought everything would be fine. However, for a USB to automount, I have to insert the USB TWICE. I don't know why. The first time, it's detected by 'lsusb', but not by Nautilus (it doesn't even show up in the Computer directory).
lsusb
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 001 Device 005: ID 3538:0059 Power Quotient International Co., Ltd
Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0402:5602 ALi Corp. Video Camera Controller
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
In this case, it's the Power Quotient International USB that isn't being read. When i remove the USB and put it back, it automounts.
I have checked previous threads and most of them discuss the 'Permission denied' issue, which is not the same as this one :( I have also checked the 'I Won the Struggle Between HAL and PolicyKit' - I don't think I have the same problem.
I have installed gnome-volume-manager.
I have tried this issue on another user account, but it's still the same - takes 2 inserts of the USB to make it mount.
I am a member of the storage and power groups.
If there are any other logs that I should show, I would be happy to show them, but am unsure if I should post PolicyKit files (I'm not sure which one is in charge of drive automounting, I'm sorry) or if I should post my HAL configuration file, but so far I have checked my HAL config file and it is configured as was written in the HAL wiki.
If someone could please point me in the right direction of what file(s) to look at (is this perhaps a HAL issue? or Xorg? or PolicyKit?) I would be happy to look into it again and post the appropriate files.
Thank you very much! :)

@Allan:
Good point. That was a bit far fetched to say; I'll admit that. I should've looked at a roadmap or something. Maybe I was just unclear as to how much work distro developers were putting into customizing their rendition of gnome. Was unaware that installing a vanilla version of gnome would be unstable, wonder how the devs of gnome feel when working on a vanilla code base. .. oh well.
@smakked:
Maybe something's like window positioning is a little obsessive compulsive of me but that functionality was available in 2.26 and below; that's maybe why it seems unfinished or something. I'm not a n00b in any sort, I respect and understand opensource and such. I know that my post above sounds rather complain-oriented, but in all honesty, It's very MS like that newer software doesn't work as well (and sometimes worse) than previous versions. I just love gnome and can't use it because of some simple features that were taken away/ are not working.
@Both of you:
Creating a tab in nautilus then dragging the tab, segfaults nautilus. GDM segfaults if trying to log into gnome-session when the user is not part of 'wheel' ... just stuff like that. I've pulled the gnome packages on 3 different boxes (and 3 different CURRENT mirrors)... same issues. I know how to manage groups and permissons and basic packages to make arch work.
So, I'm very sorry to sound annoying or anything of that nature. I was mainly curious if anyone else is having issue / knew a way to fix them. I know most arch users love *box window managers and the like, but SOME of you have to have gnome and notice things like that. lol. Anyways, It's clear that I might get talked down to on here or might get accused of being pedantic when things don't work. Thanks anyways guys.

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?

arch0r wrote:
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 mount partitions with PCMANFM --no longer an issue

Hi,
I have searched and searched and pulling my hair out on this issue. I am using PCMANFM .9.10 on an LXDE install using the Arch x86 iso. My HD contains several linux partitions and a FAT32 partition.
I am not able to mount these partitions in PCMANFM. I am able to mount my usb flash drive
When trying to mount a partition in PCMANFM I get a "not authorized to perform operation" error message.
Today, June 11 I partially rewrote this due to the lack of response I am getting on this problem.
1. did a reinstall of Arch & LXDE today. I've done two or three installs. dbus is in daemons in /etc/rc.conf
2. initially the partition icons did not show up
3. then, I installed gvfs and added 55-my-conf.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/
4. With that the partition icons show up in PCMANFM
5. But I still get the "not authorized to perform operation" message
The 55-my-conf.pkla has this content:

# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
At /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.udisks.policy
I changed <action id="org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount-system-internal">
mount a system-internal disk at <allow_active> from "auth_admin_keep" to "yes".
Still didn't work!
Either this is a bug or I have a permission problem somewhere.
Can you please advise how to do this or point me to a recent tutorial to be able to auto mount other partitions not using /etc/fstab? Some of the older posts refer to hal or other package that have been deprecated.
Thanks
Edit: latest. It seems that I must mount the desired partition from the terminal. example: $sudo mount /dev/sda5 /mnt
then can edit it from PCMANFM by going to / and then /mnt. Apparently I do not have to manually unmount.

Lxde windows issues

I am having an issue with lxde... I just installed it and when I start up, the lxde desktop appears to load fine.
As soon as I open a window,
1. It places the window in the upper left corner. I am unable to move it or resize it.
2. In the windows title bar, the close, restore, minimize buttons are not there..... This is on all windows that open.
This is happening on two machines, my desktop and an older ibm t20. The desktop has had Arch on it for a few months. The laptop is a fresh install, and I was trying to load a lighter weight DE...
Gnome is fine on both...
Any ideas are appreciated..
thanks in advance

LXDE Panel issues

I think the desktop swithcer in LXDE Panel is rather UGLY. Its as normal as any other switcher, but the problem is that it seems to occupy space outside the panel. Any solution ?
And I want to use a different image for my LXMenu button. How do I do that ?

[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.

Opening files from SSH in PCManFM

I'm using Fluxbox, and I'm using PCManFM (launched via "dbus-launch pcmanfm") as my file manager.
I opened an SSH folder, and when I double clicked on a file to open it, nothing happened. For example, on a .txt file, gvim opened, but it didn't load the file. Where does PCManFS mount SSH folder, and how can I have it open files correctly when I double click on them?

As far as I know You can only manage files (move, copy, delete etc.) the way You are trying to do it as they are not "local". It may not be the greatest advice but I feel like it may sort You out - use SSHFS to mount the ssh share and then just add it to the Pane in PCManFM? This way the files and folder will act like a local files and folders. This will allow You to play with them (edit, play etc.) just like they are on the hdd of the machine that You are currently sitting next to.
Regards.
Andrzej
P.S. Instead of sshfs-fuse package You will need sshfs as the howto was written when I was using PCLinuxOS. I am using the same method with ArchLinux without any issues on LXDE and KDE4 machines here.

PCManFM, udisks, mounting CD/DVD

Hi, PCManFM won't mount DVDs and CD. There is no problem with pendrive mount. I can mount DVD and CD from console.
WM: LXDE
System: 2.6.36-ARCH i686
Packages:
dbus: 1.4.1-1
pcmanfm: pcmanfm-git
udisk: 1.0.2-1
gamin: 0.1.10-4
udev: 165-1
.xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde
fstab:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
/dev/sda5 / ext4 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda6 /boot ext2 defaults 0 1
/dev/sda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda8 /home ext4 defaults 0 1
rc.conf:
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng @dbus @wicd @netfs @crond @alsa @sshd)

Yes I add it to .xinitrc
now it looks like:
udiskie &
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startlxde
and create file 10-udiskie.pkla in /etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d
with content:

[SOLVED] PCManFM file manager not working for me

Hi, i'm having some troubles with PCManFM. Every time i want to open the file manager it just doesn't do anything, no errors and no feedback if i run it from a console. If i create a folder on my desktop and double click on it, file manager will pop up and i'm able to use it as it were no problems, but still when i close that window it won't open otherwise than clicking on the folder on the desktop. Any ideas?. It's a clean install, followed the wiki for lxde and i've been using linux for 10 years now, tried to figure it out but i couldn't. It's not my first time with arch but i took a break for the last 6 months, thanks in advance.
ibfm 0.1.14-2 (lxde)
pcmanfm 0.9.8-2 (lxde)
cat /etc/rc.conf | grep DAEMONS
# DAEMONS
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal !network networkmanager dnsmasqd !netfs crond alsa)
cat .xinitrc | grep exec
exec ck-launch-session startlxde
As i said before, there are no error messages.
Update:
I've just found a lead (l think), if i kill pcmanfm process and rerun it the file manager works fine, the way it should, but desktop won't get managed.

Issue when submit my form

Hi all,
I have OAF page that contains a form to save Employee Data.
This form has an MessageLovInputBean and MessageStyledTextBean, to enter or display manager full name.
In processRequest i have done this code:
OASwitcherBean managerSwthr= (OASwitcherBean)oAWebBean.findChildRecursive("ManagerNameSwitcher");
managerSwthr.setDefaultCase("ManagerName");
OAMessageLovInputBean managerName = (OAMessageLovInputBean)oAWebBean.findChildRecursive("ManagerName");
managerName.setValue(oAPageContext, rs.getString("instance_number"));
And when a try to submit my form have git this issue:
"Row 1 Error - Please enter a value in the Manager field"
Thank you for helping me.

The error is the following:
{fieldName} : Error during model data update
Into the event, the oldValue is set to null, same has if it was the first time that the value changes.

[PCManFM] No entries for default applications

I must have done something stupid while trying to clean out useless entries from the pcmanfm "Open with" menu—since I did that, the dialog that should be displaying desktop files is empty:
All I did was to delete everything in ~/.local/share/applications and recreate the local mime database (in case that is even necessary, I just recently read up on mime type handling).
I didn't touch a thing in /usr/share/applications, though, and even the desktop files that reside in there aren't displayed in the dialog as you can see. I also tried accessing the same dialog with thunar and that worked fine. I reinstalled pcmanfm, updated mime/desktop databases, installed pcmanfm-git instead of the version of pcmanfm that is in the repos, and reinstalled shared-mime-info, menu-cache, and libfm/libfm-git—all to no avail.
Any pointers?

How to avoid wallpaper management by LXDE?

Hi there,
Is there any way to avoid lxde to manage wallpaper?
I work with openbox+lxde, and I can't impose my wallpaper with feh for example.
I would like to disable wallpaper capability to lxde .
Thank you.

@pcmanfm --profile LXDE --desktop-off
No effect.
To summarize, I face to 3 differents situations:
after boot, whatever I have inside my autostart>black wallpaper, no wallpaper picture, no desktop icon, it seems not to be pcmanfm desktop, but I dont have nitrogen (even feh) wallpaper active.
after launching "nitrogen --restore", nitrogen remembers last selected wallpaper
after launching "pcmanfm --desktop", pcmanfm remembers last selected wallpaper from pcmanfm utility, it seems to be pcmanfm desktop.
after launching again "pcmanfm --desktop-off", i find again my previous nitrogen wallpaper
In conclusion
I don't know why pcmanfm is off after launching lxde, and doesnt allow to use nitrogen
I dont' know why nitrogen is not launched after lxde opening but it should be
