Xfce - thunar - gconf - dconf - usb mounting - why - how - bah

Hello,
I have disabled all automounting.
I need to know what file I need to edit to change the options that xfce uses to mount.  Or whatever it uses to mount when you right click and hit mount.
I am trying to mount a usb stick.
I have tried looking in dconf and gconf.
How does it work?
A few people mentioned gvfs and udisks.
I think it uses udev.  I know it does not any longer use hal.
What am I missing here?  What do I need to read?
Thanks,
Web...

Sorry for posting this link but I do not have time to write it again.  This is my opinion and what I ended up doing.
http://wiki.hackspherelabs.com/index.ph … disks-GVFS
If I am correct kernal passes to udisks which passes to gvfs or udev or something right?
I gave up on Thunar.
I would really like to figure out how to configure the gvfs/thunar default mounting rules.
Thanks,
Web...
I also found this link:  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=112846
The entire reason I started this.

  • 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?

    Try from a computer.   You may have to reset your password.  If you can't get the comfirmation email then you can use the secret question.  Once you can log in then you change the the email address.

  • EPC3925 mit USB Festplatte verbinden / How to connect an USB HDD to an EPC3925

    Moin!
    Ich habe hier ein EPC3925 Kabelmodem stehen und möchte gerne eine USB Festplatte daran anschließen. Wie wird das gemacht?
    HI!
    I have an EPC3925 cablemodem and want to connect an USB HDD. How I have to do this?

    Is this external USB HDD formatted in NTFS? It would have to be either FAT32, or preferably HFS+, to be usable from the Time Capsule (TC) as a shareable AirPort Disk. If it is already in FAT32 or HFS+, you may need to use a powered USB hub for it to be recognized as the USB port on the TC provides limited power to connected devices.

  • In previous version I could save ALL TABs in 1 folder, not in "9", why / how?

    in previous version I could save ALL TABs as a bookmark into 1 folder, not in "9", why / how?

    You can do this by right-clicking on one of the tabs in the tab bar and selecting "Bookmark All Tabs". It will then prompt you for a name to give the new folder of bookmarks and where to put it. When viewing any folder in the bookmarks menu there will be an "Open All In Tabs" to click at the bottom of the folder to open them all at once.

  • Make USB mount read only.

    Hello again,
    I am looking to make any USB mounted devices read only by default. Is there a way to do this in Leopard?

    Greetings,
    While you can make a USB device read only, you can't make a port read only. There are ways to disable a USB port, but that's about it.
    You can also use a OS X Server and with it, you can deny access to the device, but to make it (the port) read only, I don't think that's possible with any OS. You could mark the internal hard drives read only, as well, but that would be a major pain.
    I have hundreds of machines, and the open labs are the only ones I disallow the use of USB devices for security reasons, PeeCee or Mac. Using the OS X Server, we can apply restrictions, as I do with Active Directory for the PeeCees.
    Cheers,

    Hi Johnfromglenver,
    There are no Mac drivers for the HP Officejet K60 printer. Therefore it is not compatible with the Mac operating systems. Please call our technical support at 800-474-6836.

    Can not back up my phone to my computer using usb cable why?

    You have to do a little bit better job of describing the problem. What happens when you try to backup? Do you get an error message? If your hard drive is close to being full, iTunes will not allow you to backup because of the lack of free space.
    Please provide more information.

    Is the G3 not recognized by the PC?  Or is it recognized and you don't see the ext SD card?  Are you able to use the Wireless Storage feature to transfer?  Do you have updated USB drivers from the LG support site?
