Automounting is disabled in recent versions of g-v-m and is provided by
nautilus these days. This is unfortunate because nautilus will not work
as g-v-m before if started with --no-default-window or --no-desktop.

See [1] for a longer discussion on the subject.

You could try thunar-volman.

Thanks for the info Wolodja

Personally, I think this sucks: g-v-m is deprecated (without any warning 
- certainly not visible from any recent updates I have run!) and GNOME 
provides a non-daemon alternative in Nautilus.  Whaat?  Perhaps it is 
just me, but this kind of action is hardly likely to enamour an already 
volatile reception of the DE by a user-base.


Following the thread you posted me to, how did you configure halevt and 
is that specific to your xmonad configuration or would it work for 
someone like me who uses the full-blown Gnome DE?

Cheers Liviu - have you got that set up on your rig and do you use Gnome 
as your DE?  If so, how do you get it to be initialised (assuming it is 
a daemon) at login?

It should suffice installing thunar-volman and enable it via $ Thunar,
Edit  Preferences  Advanced  Volume management.

gnome-volume-manager problem

2009-08-18 Thread AG

Hi

Has anyone else noticed that 
/usr/lib/gnome-volume-manager/gnome-volume-manager is not working after 
the recent apt-get update to testing?


Doing a quick search,[1] it appears like this is a recurring problem.  
Has anyone figured out a hack?


Cheers

AG
