[SOLVED] avahi sftp mount problem

greetings,
i hope i'm posting this in the right subforum (the other abvious choice would have been networking), but since this is likely to be a configuration issue, i'll post here. sorry, i'm kind of a newbie here.
sso.. i'm using a thinkpad t42, i've installed arch linux for the second time (please be patient with me, lol), and i've set up everything correctly: i have the latest gnome (2.30), and kernel. uname -a:
Linux YURI 2.6.32-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Mar 15 20:08:25 UTC 2010 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) M processor 1.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
yesterday, i've messed around a bit with my rc.conf, and now everytime i try to mount a mac share via avahi/sftp, i only see nautilus's 'opening *insert-share-name-here*', and a certain process (gvfsd-sftp) eats all my processor resources. the share never actually gets mounted. i'm guessing some kernel module is not loaded, or there's a problem with the order of my daemons.
i've searched around in on the wiki, on the forums and in google, but to no avail. everything is supposed to be in order. if someone can help, please do.
modules array from rc.conf:
MODULES=(acpi-cpufreq cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_conservative cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_powersave fuse !slhc !thinkpad-acpi e1000 ipw2100)
daemons array:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus hal crond alsa !network rpcbind nfs-common nfs-server netfs ntpd avahi-daemon networkmanager gdm)
thank you,
bamdad

update:
it seems, rc.conf has nothing to do with the problem. i'll leave it here for reference, but i tried logging in to gnome as root, and voilá, i could connect without a problem. so there had to be something messed up with my gnome settings. i had a crash yesterday, during which i was logged in to the other computer.
so i popped open Accessories>Passwords and Encryption keys from the gnome menu and deleted the [email protected] and [email protected] (interestingly, there wasn't an [email protected], and the problem was resolved.
my guess is that the crash somehow messed up my stored login information, and thus gvfsd-sftp went crazy trying to authenticate. if you happen to have the same problem, try the solution above.

[solved] Shutdown and Mount problems

Hello Arch-community
I did a fresh webinstallation with xfce.
Everybody seems to be running fine, expect this rights problem with shutdown/reboot and mounting CDs and other partitions.
This is my ~/.xinitrc:

The daemons look like this:
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng !network netfs crond dbus hal networkmanager)
My user is in the following groups:

I also added the code from the HALs-wikipage to /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf - However the folder didn´t even exist and I had to create that file.
And I can´t seem to find any other solutions =/
I hope you can help me...

No, I was using the ~/.bash_profile method. I tried commenting it out and starting xfce manually after login with the same problem.
However, while rereading the wikiarticle I decided to use slim, which solved my problems.

[Solved]IDE Drive mounting problem.

Hey all, I've got an annoying problem with one of my IDE drives.
Basically I just can't get it to mount, during boot up I get a few errors:
end_request: I/O error, dev sda, sector 0
Buffer I/O error on device sda, logical block 0
ata2: EH complete
unable to read partition table
Corrupt partition table, simple enough? I wish. I can mount the drive without error in both my Windows and Ubuntu 7.10 install. Which leads me to think it dislikes using the PATA driver or whatever the change was in later kernels.
The really puzzling part is that I can wipe the drive and create a new partition with parted, then mount it manually and copy data to it. But as soon as I reboot I am back the start, getting I/O errors and can't mount.
A couple of guys on IRC were saying to rmmod the pata drivers and modprobe the ide ones, but I have no experience with either of those functions. And from what I can see there is like 15 different IDE drives I could choose from, so have no idea what I should be doing.
Any help is appreciated.

[SOLVED] cifs / sshfs mounting problem

I have a Ubuntu 12.04 home server running samba. I use autofs to mount a share from that server on my Arch desktop. This worked fine until about a week ago. Now if I try to cd to the mount point, the terminal hangs a long time. Eventually, I can run an ls, but trying to list a subdirectory with a lot of files get stuck indefinitely. Accessing it through thunar or dolphin also hangs. Strangely, using sshfs instead of cifs also hangs.
If I use my Crunchbang netbook, or a Windows laptop to access the share, it works fine. sshfs on the netbook also works. So the problem seems to be specific to the Arch desktop. I don't see any sign of problems in logs on either end (the samba server log, server syslog, desktop journalctl -xn and dmesg).
Any thoughts? It's probably related to a pacman update at some point, but since I don't access the share frequently, I can't be sure when. I also tried using systemd's automount instead, it also hangs.

I am going to close this thread because (a) the thread is more than two years old, abd (b) may or may not be related to your problem.
Please open a new thread detailing your problem. Define what is "Solved" by rebooting. Does the drive mount during a reboot? Tell us how you are trying to mount the drive, and provide us your /etc/fstab. You may want to share the the output of sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda

Coping iso file and mounting problem

Hi
I am using Windows 8.1 Update Enterprise 64 bit and Windows ADK.
I noticed that, if I select the "Environment of the deployment tools and creations images" and I click on the "Run as Administrator" item of his Pop-Up menu and I mount on a iso image of windows 8.1 Update, when I run the command
robocopy <Drive_Letter>:\"<Windows_Files_Path>" /e
to copy all its files in a directory and the command
dism /Mount-Image /ImageFile:"<Windows_Files_Path>"\install.wim /Index:<Image_Index> /MountDir:"<Mount_Directory_Path>"
to mount an image volume, this error appears:
Error: 0xc1510111
Not have permission to mount and modify this image.
However, if I copy these files through the "file explorer" window, the mounting of this volume image is working properly. How come?
Thanks

is this really your problem?
Really, this is not a MDT related question. perhaps a general Windows Setup forum would be a better place to ask this question.

10.5.8 disk mounting problem

I updated to 10.5.8 and decided I would download the photoshop elements trial off Adobe's website. It was at 365 MB of 1.27 GB and it suddenly came up "mounting failed" I am currently trying to download it again, but my internet connection is slow so it will be awhile before I see if it happens again at 365 MB. Has anyone else had disk mounting problems in 10.5.8?

Speaking as someone who works a lot with PSE, I would say the odds are very high that this is an Adobe problem rather than a 10.5.8 problem. Wait a while and try the download again.

Any way of finding out how Apple will solve the Aperture / ACR problem?

Has anyone out there gotten any comments from Apple support or other people "in the know" about how Apple is going to solve the Aperture / ACR problem, and any potential time frame?
Of course, Apple is going to work on problems with its own RAW conversion; that goes without saying. But does anyone have any knowledge of whether Apple is going to open up the ability for Apple to send RAW, unconverted images to Photoshop, so that ACR can handle them?
I think knowing this now is pretty crucial. I am willing to live with the pain Aperture is going to impose on my workflow, in exchange for the file organization benefits it provides, IF I know that I'll be able to use Aperture with ACR soon (near term). But if Apple is going to just tinker with the RAW converter, and not attempt to send RAW files to ACR, then as someone else posted in another topic, this could be a long wait, and other companies have taken years to hone their RAW converters.
This is kind of my last-ditch effort to keep Aperture around, and build my workflow around it. If I know that within a month or two at the most, I'll be able to be using ACR directly when editing new versions, then I'll absorb the pain until then. But if I am looking at waiting six months for it (several man years), or riding out the process of Apple trying to get their own converter fixed, then as much as I don't want to, Aperture is going to get returned or hit eBay.
Does anyone have any idea on this? I've held up my projects for the past week trying to reorganize my workflow to work with Aperture, and I've got to pound the gavel, make a decision, and pursue a direction. Knowing what direction Apple is going to take with this makes all the difference in the world in what I do.
Thanks in advance for any info you can pass on.

This "Open External Editor from Master NEF", versus open from a dynamicaly created version is, I have decided, crucial.
I am getting less clumsy with the interface, but I simply can not get all white balance, and noise reduction done on my best available light shots.
ACR in CS2, and a subsequent "Neat Image" scrubbing is excellent for this.
The automatic association within a stack, of the resulting flattened file would be a big difference. I agree a formal statement from Apple would make me more inclined to really commit to Aperture for all my work.
Going one step further, it would be nice to keep the layers on the round-trip Master file, even if you would work with a dynamicaly created version of the returned "master" within a stack. It would occupy more disk space, but would do so only for those images where the user has made a quality decision.

Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

Thumbnails do not show up after importing clips into Premiere Elements 12 Organizer. I've tried right clicking on a clip and telling it to recreate the thumbnail but it doesn't work. I've tried refreshing and repairing the catalog. I've even started a new catalog and reimported the files. The system says it's creating thumbnails but they still do not show up. Does upgrading from Premiere Elements 12 to 13 solve the Organizer thumbnail problem?

listiak
That is one of those questions best answered by evaluating Elements Organizer13 with your specific files in your specific computer environment.
Each of the Elements Organizer versions often appears to carry along its own baggage.
One of the things that came up about Elements Organizer 13 thumbnails recently was a problem with files with MPEG2
video compression. The Adobe word on this was that this is only an Elements Organizer 13 tryout issue...supposed not to exist
in the purchased version.

Narrowing down "iPod won't mount" problem

Regarding the "iPod won't mount" problem that has been posted a number of times: is anyone having this problem with a USB connection or just with a Firewire connection?
I'm using Firewire and can't get my iPod to mount. I don't have a USB connector for the iPod and I thought I'd do a little research on the problem before I go buy a USB connector.

My 4th generation Ipod would not mount with the firewire but worked fine with USB.

[SOLVED] kde 4.6 and Udisks mounting problems with Dolphin

Hello,
I have a problem with Dolphin in KDE 4.6 where it displays my non-Arch partitions (a / and /home used for Opensuse) as well as a CD-Rom or usb if inserted, but registers an error when I click on the device/partition icon. Specifically, I get the following error displayed at the bottom of Dolphin:
An error occurred while accessing Hard Drive, the system responded: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error creating mount point: No such file or directory.
Because of this error, I am unable to mount usb pendrives, access CDs, or access the non-Arch partitions. I'm not sure if this is a KDE error or if it related to Arch as I never encountered this error running KDE 4.6 in Opensuse.
My daemons running in /etc/rc.conf
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus networkmanager netfs crond alsa kdm)
My /etc/fstab
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0

tmpfs /var/run tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755,size=10M 0 0
Now, I don't have hal running as a daemon as I have read that it is no longer needed in KDE 4.6. Similarly, I don't have my CD-Rom drive mounted as I read in the udev wiki that Udisks automatically mounts devices and partitions. The wiki also indicates that Udisks is supposed to require little configuration.
I've searched the forum and Google, and I have not been able to find any information documenting a Dolphin and UDisks mounting error in KDE 4.6.
I installed KDE through the # pacman -S kde command, but is there some other package that I need to install in order to get Udisks working properly?
Thanks.

When I enter $ groups in a terminal I get the following
sys adm disk lp wheel games video audio optical storage power users
So I'm definitely part of the storage group.
I think I found a solution. I created a /data mountpoint in fstab and a /data folder in my root directory. Now, I'm able to mount and access the contents of the /home partition from Opensuse. The reason I wanted to do this was to access music and photos and transfer them onto my Arch /home partition.
I uncommented the cdrom, dvd, and fd0 devices in fstab and I created /media/cd, /media/dvd, and /media/fl. After inputting a # mount -a, my CDROM drive reads properly as does my USB.
So once again, thank, you for pointing me in the right direction.
One final thought. I was under the impression from reading the UDisks information that it automatically detected and mounted other partitions and devices without them being explicitly mounted in fstab. Was the assumption wrong? In other words, for UDisks and Dolphin to work together properly in KDE 4.6, do all of the devices that appear have to first be mounted in fstab?

Yosemite 10.10.1: Finder/CIFS mount problem: wrong folder count/folders not shown @samba shares

Hello to all,
we have several MacBook Pro (15" MBP Retina 2012/13"MBP Retina 2014) running. After upgrading to Yosemite 10.10.1 we had one nightmare after the other.
Most problems could be solved with 3rd party software upgrades but there are several problems with the operating system itselve which can not really be called a professional productive system at the moment...
Ok., one thing after the other...here is one of our biggest problems:
After upgrading from Mavericks or Mountain Lion to Yosemite 10.10.1 the CIFS/SMB mounts to our samba 3.x servers, running on Ubuntu Linux LTS 12.04 makes trouble. We could mount the server shares but after browsing with the Finder the beach ball occures and the Finder hangs forever. Sometimes we could not refresh the Finder, killing the process ended in a complete hang-up of the system which ended in a switch off death blow. This is not amusing because we have 30Tb of customer data there, which has to be worked out.
We heard about the SMB3 protocol which will be used per default in Yosemite and so we decided after some testings to upgrate our Ubuntu servers to the latest LSF 14.04. release with samba 4.1.6 installed. There was no message from Apple for this SMB protocol release upgrade, never heard something related to Yosemite (Why?).
Ok, after these server upgrades and disabling most of the Spotlight functions the performance to the CIFS shares was a little bit better as before but now we have another problem with the Finder...if you browse to the shares there are folders missing which have lots of files in it. For example there is a folder with 60 subfolders and 3562 files on the first level in it, the Finder shows 220 files and 15 folders. The Terminal shows a different count with "find . -maxdepth 1 -type d | wc -l" or "find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | wc -l" but there is also a difference to the original file and folder count. It doesn`t matter if the clients are connected via WiFi or Gigabit Ethernet. We have no access problems. We have the same behavior if we set the files and folders to 0777 permissions on the servers. The deletion of the preferences files of the users on the MacBooks does not solve the problem. If we use the "Go To Folder" option and type the path to a folder which is not shown in the Finder you get an result or not. But it is also possible that the result is not correct and there are also still files or subfolders missing.
In my opinion this is a timeout problem and a "special SMB3 protocol interpretation" which is buggy. We have one hint found in /var/log/system.log:
"Jan 23 14:35:49 wsosx33.clients.getcom.de KernelEventAgent[69]: tid 54485244 type 'smbfs', mounted on '/Volumes/customersdata2015', from '//x144067:@srvlxp013.servers.getcom.de/customersdata2015', not responding"
We had no problems with Mavericks at all, we still have no problems with Windows 7 Pro/Ultimate, Windows 2008R2 (native or virtual) or Linux Mint 17/17.1 clients, neither with samba 3.x nor with our actual environment and different newer samba releases.
We believe that this is a big bug in Yosemite, but we cannot go back to Mavericks because of incompatible TimeCapsule backups. Our workarround at the moment is that we have installed Linux Mint on our MacBooks to get 80% of our daily jobs done, rest has to be done with Windows 7 installed over virtualbox @Linux.
We have no clue at the moment how to solve this problem, the samba logs do not give any hint. The access from other operating systems is perfect and very fast, but not with Yosemite. We checked different tips found in the internet but nothing helped.
Does anybody has another idea to get Yosemite working or should we keep Linux Mint until Apple will provide a CIFS/SMB patch and going on with our workaround solution, which is productive at the moment ??? Our staff is not amused and wants one solution and not this workaround with two operating system. We have to decide wether we wait until Apple will get this fixed or we have to switch to Microsoft Windows (which is a No Go for me, but I will not be asked...).
Thanks in advance
C.

Hi William,
thank you for your response.
As you can read in my post I talked about CIFS/SMB.
It makes no difference if we mount the share over CIFS or SMB.
Folders with lots of files will not be shown even if we use SMB3 or an older protocol.
As mentioned I believe this is a timeout problem.
Does anybody know how the CIFS/SMB timeout setting in Yosemite could be changed?
Kind regards
C.

I Solved Can't Mount Error/Flashing Orange Light/Not recognized by iTunes!

++IMPORTANT! PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE POST!++
I solved all of my Ipod shuffle issues and just uploaded 5 albums worth of songs with no problems! Now I am listening to Black Eyed Peas and it might me my imagination, but I think the sound is vastly improved from before. It took me 3 flippin' days to troubleshoot this and solve the problem, probably 6 hours worth of my time. Apple: You guys need to program your hardware to handle anti-virus software, Window's security updates, etc. Too many software conflicts!
Let me first tell you what happened that caused my Ipod to "die". Simply, I built a brand new custom PC to replace my Dell Inspiron laptop. I purchased my shuffle about six months ago and it worked like a charm until I tried plugging it into my new computer's usb port. Then all **** broke loose and the Ipod would not engage. I went here for support and tried updating it with the current updater (1/10/2006 version) to no avail. I uninstalled all the drivers, wiped everything off my Ipod manually, deleted files, made back-up copies of my library, etc. I wiped everything off my system that had anything to do with an iPod. Nothing worked.
THEN, I came across this article posted on Apple. Hopefully it is still up:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article/html?artnum=93716
Follow each and every step. The steps are laid out well, and nothing was missing in terms of a hidden step. If you follow it to the T, you should be able to restore your Ipod to like-new working order.
Some key things to remember:
1. Make sure you empty your recycle bin after deleting all of the iTunes and iPod related files. Then restart your system. Your system caches copies of files associated with iPod. When it see's another version, the two start conflicting with one another, and that causes problems. Deleting your Temp folder is also critical, and this is outlined in one of the steps in the article above.
2. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you exit out of any anti-virus program you have running, including the firewall while you download AND install the iTunes and iPod software. Install the iTunes software first, restart your computer, then install the iPod updater software, Restart again. Do not dismiss this. It is probably the reason why most people's iPod's won't mount and they simple fail to recognize their system even has a firewall running (even Window's firewall).
3. Be patient and follow the instructions. There are five printed pages in this article and it takes about an hour to go through each step, uninstall software, redownload software, install it, etc. After spending 6 hours troubleshooting this, an hour of actually making progress should be easy!
I hope this helps. If you cannot mount your iPod, don't throw it away or go out and buy a new one. I am confident that you will be able to fix your problems and be listening to music on your shuffle soon!

I tried all this last week, but without success! A whole day, I was looking for a solution, but nothing worked. At least I tried to formate my iPod at another Laptop, but it doesn´t work. (Two weeks ago, I just heard a book from audible. After a short break, the iPod didn´t work no more.)Nice to hear, that you have been succesfull.
