I finally got automounting working with the karma. Here's how.
To start, a couple of gotchas:
- Uses gnome and so forth. autofs might be an easier route for the
non-gui set
- I recently switched from Debian to Ubuntu on my laptop. The HAL that
ships with Dapper seems to have a limitless supply of bugs. I
upgraded to Edgy and everything is working better.
Ok, so the pieces are:
sysfs(kernel) -> udev (userspace device monitor)
-> dbus (message communication between all pieces)
-> hal (sets properties and policy based on udev devices)
-> gnome-volume-manager (automounts according to policy)
-> pmount-hal (mounts disks).
g-v-m wants the device to at least have its volume.fstype set to
something (omfs) and volume.fsusage to 'filesystem'. In addition I used
bits of julien's policy files to specify that g-v-m should mount it.
1. put the attached 20-rio-karma.fdi in your /etc/hal/fdi/information
directory and preferences.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy (your path may
vary).
2. g-v-m appears to ignore the filesystem type so add this to fstab to
make pmount-hal work...
/dev/disk/by-id/usb-Rio_Rio_Karma_0000000000000000-part2 /media/karma
omfs user,noauto 0 0
3. Now Restart dbus, hal, g-v-m, and plug it in. If nothing happens,
check the output from lshal. You should see portable_audio_player_type
set to 'karma' on the device, along with volume.fstype on the second
partition set to 'omfs' and its volume.policy.desired_mount_point set
to 'karma'.
If all else fails run gnome-volume-manager -n in a terminal to debug
things.
The above Works For Me but I do get two icons for the karma instead of
just one. If anyone figures that out let me know.
