Trouble with automounting externals...tried autofs, hal, udev.

I'm having trouble automounting external USB hard drives, can somebody give me some pointers for setting this up on a fresh install please?  I'd rather use udev and unmount everything from the terminal, but I can't do that until they actually, you know...mount.
I can mount manually, but it gets tedious to do this for ~6 externals every time I boot.  Anyway, I'm trying to get udev to work, and I've used the wiki here, but even after a reboot, I'm getting nothing.  Any ideas?

You can put it in a script or into .xinirtc.

  • Still having trouble with Adobe AIR - Trying to download free trial.

    I'm having an issue with Adobe AIR.  Last month I purchased Photoshop CS 5.5 with the agreement of a free upgrade to Photoshop CS 6 10 days after it comes out (should be today that I get the CD key, right?) and I'd like to get myself ready to just plug the key in and go, especially considering the trouble  I had actually downloading PS CS 5.5 (not too promising, eh?).
    I can see the yellow DOWNLOAD button and when I click it Adobe AIR comes on and asks me to read the license, etc.  I click AGREE and... it closes immediately.  Every time.
    I've tried on a few different browsers and don't have any anti-virus messing with it.
    Thanks for your help anyone and everyone.

    You will still need to resolve the AIR issue to install the software as we use it's components in many of our Creative Applications.  I would recommend reviewing Troubleshoot AIR installation | Windows - http://helpx.adobe.com/air/kb/troubleshoot-air-installation-windows.html.
    You are also welcome to follow the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.  Depending on the Adobe product though you are installing you will need to have Adobe AIR functioning for a successful installation.

  • Trouble with metronome when trying to record!!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!

    I'm new to logic, i just made the switch. I have this odd problem everytime I try an record on an software instrument track, instead of just the click clicking to the tempo it is also the instrument i chose clicking to the beat along with the metronome, so it's like an layered click with the metronome and the instrument which is pretty annoying. If someone could help me out please so i can get to all the cool stuff that logic has to offer, i would appreciate it.

    I believe you've got to go into your 'metronome settings' {which you can find on your transport window, by click-holding on the metronome icon} and there should be an option to use a MIDI device AS well as in the top right corner... the option of using a Software Click Instrument.
    If you want the internal computer click, then turn the MIDI Port (below division) to OFF. If you want the MIDI instrument for your click, de-select the 'Software Click Instrument'.
    Hope that helps.

  • Trouble with booting system after upgrade udev= systemd

    Hi everybody,
    I have been trouble with my system since last upgrade (udev => systemd)
    My issue is something like this: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1106157 but advice from this discussion doesn't work.
    When system booting, *immediately* (very fast, too fast) display login screen after start parsing hook [udev]
    Of course, i can't login - type username and i have redraw screen again on all /dev/tty* - i have no chance to type password.
    Many invalid logins suspend init for 5 minutes and allow me see display error due stop redraw screen - libpam.so.0 cannot find.
    I suspect that, partitions aren't mount (this fast login screen doesn't have even hostname). I have a 4 discs, with many partitions - mounting
    this take a some time (+- 5 secs).
    In rescuecd, i can mount all partitions and chroot. In chroot all works fine - /bin/login (i was checked authorization on all users),
    paths and pams are ok. Of course i try ,,default rescue trick'': `pacman -Suy linux udev mkinitcpio` and 'mkinitcpio -p linux' on rescuecd
    but nothing it's changed after reboot. I checking grub config, and unpack and check initramfs-linux.img - all ok.
    In my mkinitcpio.conf ofcourse i have MODULES="ext3" (for my filesystems).
    Please help.

    This may or may not be related... but I saw this message just now during an upgrade:

    ==> If your /usr is on a separate partition, you must add the "usr" hook
    to /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and regenerate your images before rebooting
    And am wondering what the message means by if /usr is on a separate partition - separate partition to what?  /boot? / ?
    I have my /usr partition in the same partition as /  (but /boot is in a different partition)
    Logic tells me I'm safe (haven't rebooted yet), as / is "master", and anything else is a separate partition, and I have /usr on the same partition as /.
    Do you guys have separate /usr and/or /boot partitions?  As stated in first sentence this may not be related, but looks important...
    It means separate from /. So yes, you're right, you are "safe" from having to do anything with this message on your system.
    And to the other people on this thread: make sure you do have all your packages uniformly updated, including any pam-related AUR or ABS-build packages. libpam and the pam module directory (.../lib/security) were moved from /lib to /usr/lib a little while back, so make sure that anything that cares about where these may be have been updated so they aren't confused by this move.

  • I am having trouble with my MacBook Pro. I get a blank screen with a flashing document file with a question mark in it, yes I have tried to install Mac OS X with the original disk but I get no choices of where I wish to install Mac OS X. Please help ;(

    I am having some trouble with my computer, what happened was: I was playing on a game, I played with a magnet, it started to go slower and slower, I pressed F9 then it went slower and then it went to a blank screen with a flashing document with a question mark on it. I tried the original OS X installation disk but when it came to choosing the area of which I save it, it showed no areas.

    Startup your Mac while holding down the Option key. That should prompt the Startup Manager window where you can select the startup disk then click Restart.
    If the startup disk is not available from that window, you may be able to repair the disk.

  • Trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper

    trouble with Safari - it keeps shutting down - all because I tried to get rid of MacKeeper ad - after I install what I thought was an update since I already had MacKeeper, it would not allow me to continue without buying the new one. Make a long story short I switch to Firefox and deleted as much as I could of Safari (files, preferences etc) Now I'm at OS Yosemite X 10.10.2 and would like to get Safari up and running again - I've searched for Adware in applications etc but could not find it. Found what to do from the community, but before I go that route...Do I have to know where or if I actually have this spyware?    And if I were to reinstall  Maveric - would my files and such be undisturbed?  so that only Safari would be replaced?    I"M LOST .... (as if you couldn't tell)
    I've been working with Mac for 30 years or more and although I'm hands on taught the only thing I lack is the newer "buzz words" so if you can help me out - please make it simple ??  thanks

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
    Back up all data before making any changes.
    One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
    If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
    Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
    Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
    In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere  should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
    Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
              Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
    or
              Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
    if it's not already checked.

    Started having trouble with iTunes so I uninstalled everything and tried to reinstall but it says ' iTunes cannot run because some of its required files are missing. Please reinstall iTunes.'  Well, I've uninstalled and reinstalled 5 times.  Now what?

    I figured it out.  A week ago I had downloaded a screensaver from a website I trusted and that's when my problems started. I uninstalled it but that didn't help.  So, I reinstalled it then used an uninstall softtware app that cleanns more than the control panel does. Then I used a computer cleaner to be sure everything was wiped clean.  And it worked.  I downloded iTunes for the 7th time in 2 days and finally it worked!  And I lost nothing from my account.
    Maybe this info will help others.

    I have a Lucid 2 LG.  I have been having trouble with insuffient storage.  I have a 8G phone and have spent hours with Tier 2 tech trying to move info from the internal storage to the SD card with no luck,  When I go to storage in the settings it states that over 4 gigs is for Misc?  System data takes up over 4 gigs.  No one can tell me what system data consist of.  So My question is does anyone know what system data is?  I am assuming I have a 8 gigphone but can only use 4 gigs???

    System data is the OS or operating system.  That is where the recovery stays separated from the rest of the storage so that it doesn't get corrupted.  It is not accessible and non-movable.

    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.
