Please use code tags. If you don't know how to do this, click the 'BBCode' link on the bottom of the page for instructions (there are all kinds of neat formatting tricks included as well).

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?

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?

Hi,
Just plugged my Archos media player in. The icon appeared on the xfce desktop, but I can't read it. I get this error message, anyone know how to overcome it?

Lightroom doesn't show and use drive B:

Hello,
I have many partitions and drives in my PC (Win 7 64 Bit Ultimate), so I'm using drive B: for my pictures. There are no problems with Win7 or other programs but LR doesn't recognize this drive B: neither for import nor for saving files to folder. What can I do (except for giving drive B: another letter - there's no letter left!).
Thank you
Doc

See this feedback topic:
http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/drive_letters_missing_in_import_dest ination_on_windows
It includes two workarounds -- changing the assignment of letters and mounting the drive to avoid the use of letters entirely. Please vote on that topic to capture the attention of Adobe.

Cannot mount my 250GB internal NTFS drive.

I used to get the following error when I would attempt to mount it via the gnome panel:
"Cannot get volume.fstype.alternative"
It's the drive that I have Windows XP on, I'm dual booting. Anywho, something changed (I might've updated my system) and now it does nothing when I attempt to mount it, no error whatsoever.
Any ideas?

How do you mount a device like normal unix?

Hi,
I'm trying to secure some files by encrypting a disk image (DMG file). I'm doing everything through the terminal so that I can script it.
For the first step I want to mount the disk image file. But, I'm struggling to find a way to mount the disk image so that it becomes a normal part of the file system. Under Linux I would do something like this:
$ mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /home/steve/projects/privatemount
Under Mac OS X, I can't get it to work. I found a hdiutil command but there are all sorts of issues between it and the Finder. The closest I've got is this:
$ hdiutil attach -verbose -nobrowse -mountpoint /Users/steve/Projects/privmount /Users/steve/Projects/private-encrypted.sparseimage
Which mounts it as a directory from terminal (great), and doesn't show it up in the Finder as a removable device (great). But, the problem is that you can unmount it (hdiutil detach) while you're accessing the directory i.e editing a file. This is no good because I could lose files (seems like a bug to me). If I edit the file from vim from the command line then lsof shows the file being used. But if you access the file through the Finder i.e edit it with textmate, then lsof doesn't see the file access!
Does anyone know what the magic incantation is to mount a device from the terminal as you would a normal UNIX, have the Finder not show it as a removable device, and ensure that you can't unmount it while a user is accessing the contents?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Bill,
Yeah that works but it shows it as a removable disk (as your second post pointed out). I'm hoping there's a solution where it won't show up as a removable disk. It's just annoying not being able to stitch together a seamless file system from a bunch of disk images!
Thanks,
Steve

Thunar mounting/unmounting NTFS drive in the side pane.

Hey ,
Could someone help me to set up Thunar to be able to mount/unmount & browse my NFTS drive "/dev/sda1" "/mnt/HDD" in the side pane?
Like this:
I already have a link to it in the side pane:
But...
I'd prefer to set it up properly, I've searched google and the bbs but couldn't find any info's on this.
Thanks

terminal:
*diskutil unmount /Volumes/"diskname"*
apple script:
tell application "Finder"
eject disk "diskname"
end tell
Keep the quotation marks in the above.
Mounting a disk is trickier because you need to know the mountpoint.
First, when the disk is mounted enter the following terminal command:
df
this will list all mounted devices.
locate the line with your disk and read off the first column. It should look something like
/dev/disk2s2
Unmount the disk. To mount it run
*diskutil mount /dev/disk2s2*

It's probably upstream bug: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1263
Look at changelog: "Crashes related to mounting removable devices is fixed. (Many thanks to the patch from Mamoru Tasaka )", so wait for an update or do some ABS.
Goodluck.

Removable devices with UTF-8

Hi is there a way how to make HAL mount removable devices with iocharset=utf8 option?
I tried this file:
cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/uf8.pdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="block.is_volume" bool="true">
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset" type="string">utf8</merge>
</match>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_option.iocharset" type="string">utf8</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
But no success.

As a problem may have several solutions, I propose another method to mount removable medias with chosen mount options and at a chosen mount point.
The advantage of that method, I think, is that only one file is used and easily edited, and nothing else has to be modified in the system (no .fdi files are touched).
Here is the batch file which I named mountusb :
#!/bin/bash
# Script mountusb by Bernard Baeyens (berbae) 2009-06-18
# to mount plugged in removable medias, using hal and pmount
# without knowing the device name
# without modifying the /etc/fstab file
# without needing to create a fixed directory under /media
# The device name attributed by udev is transmitted to hal and can be accessed
# with the utility hal-get-property.
# So with this method it doesn't need to be a fixed name.
# The user must maintain the three lists below, for the removable medias he uses.
# List of the variable part of the hal udi for the removable medias
UDI=(0000_0002 DA8E_98E0 68E8_9D1A)
# List of the corresponding desired pmount options
OPTIONS=("--sync --noatime" "--sync --noatime" "--sync --noatime")
# List of the corresponding label used to mount the device under /media
# pmount will create the /media/<label> directory itself
LABEL=(sony stick1 stick2)
NB=${#UDI[*]}
for (( I=0;I<$NB;I+=1 )); do
DEVICE=$(hal-get-property --udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_${UDI[$I]} --key=block.device 2>/dev/null)
MOUNTED=$(hal-get-property --udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_${UDI[$I]} --key=volume.is_mounted 2>/dev/null)
if [ a$DEVICE != a ] && [ -b $DEVICE ] && [ a$MOUNTED != a ] && [ $MOUNTED == false ]; then
echo "Executing command : pmount ${OPTIONS[$I]} $DEVICE ${LABEL[$I]}"
if pmount ${OPTIONS[$I]} $DEVICE ${LABEL[$I]}; then
echo "To unmount the device use : pumount /media/${LABEL[$I]}"
fi
fi
done
# To unmount before plugging out the media : pumount /media/<label>
# The command will remove the /media/<label> directory after the unmounting
The values in the file correspond to a Sony walkman and two memory sticks of mine.
The UDI values can be determined by plugging in the removable media and consulting the output of the lshal command.
I hope that this batch could be useful to someone.
Edit : Added a test to execute pmount command only if the volume is not already mounted.

[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
Tovo R.

I recently downloaded a tv show from itunes and my ipd said that i need wifi to watch it. How do i download it so i can watch it with out wifi?

I think the issue may be that these TV shows are in HD. Would that keep them from playing?
Yes. Sounds like you are trying to sync the HD version of the TV Episode. You should try to download the Standard Definition copy instead and sync that to your device as HD content is not compatible with the Nano. See here for more information:
iTunes: May be unable to transfer videos to iPhone, iPad, or iPod
To prevent HD versions from being downloaded in the future head to the iTunes Store, click the Purchased link, and then select TV Shows and remove the tick mark next to Download HD when available. You should be able to download the SD version now from under this same page.
