Frederick Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 Does anyone knows how you can get the cdrom and all that to mount automatically when inserted and unmount when the button is pressed in XFCE4?

iphitus Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Automatic mount is not DE/WM dependent. If it works in KDE or GNOME it will be working in Fluxbox, XFCE, Oroborus, Windowmaker, Enlightenment, TWM. -- iphitus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted June 24, 2004 Report Share Posted June 24, 2004 Automatic mount is not DE/WM dependent. Actually, in this case I think it might be. Gnome and kde have there own respective applications for auto-mounting cd's (in gnome's case its called magicdev). In order for these apps to work correctly, the fstab entry for a cdrom should normal (ie not setup for supermount). After checking my own /etc/fstab, which I haven't touched, this seems to be true. This means that WMs/DEs other than kde or gnome won't auto mount cdroms. Frederick, I think the way to get magicdev for xfce working is to have it start when xfce starts. Alternatively, you could edit your fstab to change your cdrom to use supermount. If you're feeling extra adventurous, you could try automatic mounting with something like ivman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
