[Lubuntu-desktop] Inclusion in 10.10 [Disk Mounting]

[Phillip Whiteside]

Hi,

It has been asked on IRC if it is possible to automount devices on startup.
I could only advise manually editing the fstab. Having had a further dig,
pysadm does not bring any dependencies onto my system (I'm guessing they're
already there because of Pyneighborhood). As it is only going to use up a
little disk space and I would not think more resources to run than something
like Pyneighborood do you think it is an included candidate, or should it be
just noted that a user requiring such functionality can install it via
Synaptics.

Regards,

Phill.

Hi,

there is still disk-manager avaiable. (even though it isn't anymore on 
ubuntu, but debian unstable still has it 
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=disk-manager&searchon=names&suite=unstable§ion=all 
) 


It is working very good and can configure /etc/fstab interactively.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Inclusion in 10.10 [Disk Mounting]

[Phillip Whiteside]

Hi Mike,

As I am not sure if it was a ntfs drive the OP wanted to automount, I'd have
still used pysadm as it can handle more than just ntfs, but I will endeavour
to remember that if someone just wants a quick 'automount my ntfs stuff'

Hi Leszek,

pysadm is still in the Ubuntu repos ;-) I was also thinking of the bit in
the project that reads "*Lubuntu is targeted at "normal" PC users . Such
users may not know how to use command line tools*" and trying to find a
nice, fairly simple, with good documented support (e.g.
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=872197 ) way of doing it.

Regards,

Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Inclusion in 10.10 [Disk Mounting]

[PCMan]

PCManFM2 actually can do automount on startup, unless your policykit
is not working correctly, which happens frequently. However, which
device to mount is a big problem since the rules are defined by gvfs
and it doesn't seem to be configurable.

If you install a full ubuntu then install LXDE then automount is ok.
Just my 2p worth

[Phillip Whiteside]

Hi Andrew,

When you install a desktop on top of another desktop (lxde on top of gnome
in this case) you get all the applications associated with both Desktops.
Where you to strip out the gnome desktop fully, then pysadm would go with it
(along with things like OpenOffice etc. etc.).

Regards,

Phill.

I appreciate that, I'm just showing that automount is possible with Lubuntu,
just need the right packages and whatnot

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Inclusion in 10.10 [Disk Mounting]

[Phillip Whiteside]

Andy,

I was not 'having a go' at you :-(

With pysdm installed on my lubuntu system, setting up the automounting is a
doddle, that's why I have asked for it to be considered as a default
application for lubuntu :-)

Regards,

Phill.

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Inclusion in 10.10 [Disk Mounting]

[Andrew Woodhead]

I didn't think you were dude
:D
No worries duder.

Personally I hate automount, it gets in my way. Sure I put in my USB stick
but I don't want to use it til later, yet the stupid file browser pops up
and gets in my face. It also gives security as the file system is only
mounted when required but I guess most users plug stuff in when required etc
and new users will be used to the "windows" way.

Swings and roundabouts..
