[SLUG] Re: How do I automount CF card when PCMCIA adapter inserted?
John Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] uttered the following thing: Hi all, I have a new (HP) laptop with Ubuntu 6.06. Most things just work :-) I also have a PCMCIA compact flash adapter which works, except that I have to mount the drive manually after inserting it. I'd like to have it automount but having never played with PCMCIA on Linux I don't know what to do to make it happen. Would someone please point me in the right direction? If you're fairly desktop-agnostic, you can try reverting to Kubuntu. I find KDE does a marvellous job at auto-mounting removable media. When I stick a removable disk in (either usb or pcmcia), it pops up asking me what to do (and i can set it to remember my choice). Also on an HP laptop.

It totally depends on your PCMCIA adapter. Some do everything fine, even if you're (un)plugging the CF itself. Some are fine if you're just (un)plugging the PCMCIA card. Some are totally h0rked (but a subset of those are probably fixable). I'd recommend filing a bug with as much information you can glean about the PCMCIA/CF adaper as possible. Quick thing you can try - boot with it unplugged, run hal-device-manager, plug it in and see what happens. - Jeff -- linux.conf.au 2007: Sydney, Australia http://lca2007.linux.org.au/ Have you ever kissed a girl? - Bryan Cantrill to Dave Miller -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

What Jeff says is the right thing to do. On the other hand... I had an old PCMCIA reader that was slow and tended to make my machine crash, and on a good day made everything else very slow while it's being accessed. I bought a Belkin USB 2.0 reader for about $30 and it's *much* faster and more reliable, and can be plugged into desktops if need be. Money well spent in my case.

Re: [SLUG] Census Online - stocktake of OS Browser too?
I think it's everybody's duty to fill out the online Census form using their preferred OS and browser. If the ABS isn't taking these statistics then at least IBM will be. It was suggested that it's a golden opportunity to get some definitive numbers of who's using what OS and browser on a national scale so lets LET 'EM KNOW!

[SLUG] Highpoint Rocket raid - RHEL4
Hi sluggers, Ive got an highpoint rocketraid 133 pci raid adapter card (ide) its not recognized during startup (kernel panic) I read its due to it reporting as two different names at diff times during probing thus causing confusion. Ive downloaded the open drivers for kernel 2.6 but just cant get them to compile continually getting various errors thrown up at me. (I dont have a lot of experience with linux) I also dont really want a critical server with drivers that need recompiling every time the kernel gets updated. RHEL4 (unsupported) (I would use centos except the mail server (scalix) doesnt run on it) Dual amd Athlon mp1800 1 Gb ram 1 x 60Gb HDD on ide channel 1 2 x 160Gb hdd on pci raid card So Im looking for help on this card or recommendations for a different card that is known to work Cheers Ken White Property Group has Antivirus protection measures in place however White Property Group and the sender of this message accept no responsibility for any harm, disruption or corruption caused by this message or its attachments -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

No. I mean, you can look at the Removable storage preferences dialogue, but I can't imagine you've changed it in any way that would effect this. If USB disks work, this should also work (as far as policy goes). Quick thing you can try - boot with it unplugged, run hal-device-manager, plug it in and see what happens.
