Hi guys I'm using GNOME on gentoo and I like the behavior where usb drives will pop up a nautilus window on plugin.
I always expected this behavior on CDs as well, but for some reason, I only noticed today (after quite a while of using, since I haven't plugged in a CD for quite a while) that it doesn't work. So I've been investigating a bit on some things to check. 1) my cdrom mount point. the cdrom mount point is owned by root.cdrom and has rwx,rx,- permisions All relevant users are members of the root.cdrom group. however this seems to me completely irrelevant since as far as i recall, gnome-volume-manager should automatically just create a mount point for the cdrom. 2) my fstab entry I've tried without an fstab entry, and with. When I work with an entry, it looks like this: /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom udf,iso9660 users,noauto 0 0 again, this looks irrelevant to me since my alternate system (ubuntu) uses almost the same fstab with just root partitions switched around and the automount seems to work fine. 3) plugdev membership. all relevant users are members of plugdev. plugdev seems to properly create USB devices when things are pluggied in. 4) device file my hard disks are /dev/sda and /dev/sdb my cdrom is in /dev/hdb cdrom permissions give me [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls /dev/hdb -l brw-rw---- 1 root cdrom 3, 64 Mar 6 2008 /dev/hdb this is i think statically created by udev. 5) kernel and stuff [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ uname -r 2.6.23-gentoo-r3 6) gnome-volume-manager -d no (runs gnome-volume-manager in the foreground) is completely silent. 7) The CDs themselves. They seem to work when I do a mount from the command line. Is there anything else I need to check? I want the cdrom to pop up correctly. On a tangent, i noticed that all my partitions are appearing in the nautilus sidebar bookmarks and also my desktop. I have quite a number of partitions, so this isn't the behavior I expect. When I click my Places menu, I notice that my partitions are listed in removable media. How do I take them out? -- thing.
