cryptsetup, hald and automounting external disk

2008-12-04 Thread subscriptions
Hi all, I am using cryptsetup (LUKS) successfully on most of my partitions (i.e. not /boot) and external disk drives. For the external drives, HALD recognises the LUKS encrypted partition and prompts for a password. Does anybody know where I can configure the system such that the external disk

e-defined actions such as "open in file browser" or "play in media player", or you can add your own action definitions to run scripts of your choice. If you want to rely on ivman then you can configure "do nothing" as the KDE auto action for all relevant media types.

- if KDE uses ivman or has its own builtin code for handling removable media. - if KDE has its own method for this, can that code be deactivated? Should it be deactivated, or is smart enough to not try mount device when it runs under an inactive display? (my experience suggests otherwise)

Thanks to everyone. Problem solved. Yes, I misunderstood "fdisk -l". I assumed that it would list the CD partition also. I never even tried to mount the CD, as I thought that when it was not being seen by fdisk, it was not there, and there was nothing to mount. Also I've learned how to instal
