[SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

hello.I come again.

my os is slk 11.0+xfce4.4.0. I have installed hunar-Bundle-0.8.0-installer.run , xfce-goodies-4.4.0-installer.run  and xfce4-4.4.0-installer.run.

my problems is that Thunar don't recognize any of my removible devices, such as DVD-ROM (with data or video), CD-ROM (with data or audio) , my SD Card,and usb disk. I put in the usb disk,but the Xfce-Desktop  and  thunar also doesn't appera the usb disk icon.

I can mount my usb disk by myself.

#fdisk -l:
Disk /dev/sda: 125 MB, 125698048 bytes
4 heads, 60 sectors/track, 1022 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 240 * 512 = 122880 bytes

I have installed udev-104    hal-0.5.8.1     dbus-1.0.2-i486      dbus-glib-0.72     pmount-0.9.13

AND
I have search this forum,and read this post:

Thunar volman should take care of this: Goto thunar > edit > preferences > advanced > select the thunar volman checkbox. Then run 'Thunar --daemon' when you start Xfce.

All above have done,but still can't.

I run 'Thunar --daemon' by add it to xfce's autostart.

Is HAL working properly? What kernel are you using?

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

I'm having a similar problem on an x86 system running slamd64 (64-bit slackware), even after compiling hal, dbus, policykit etc. I've even tried some packages from here ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ ) . My cdrom drive is *never * mounted, it is simply ignored. To date everything I have tried has failed sad . Sometimes if I restart hal & dbus as root, leave a cdrom in the drive and start xfce4 as non-root, I'll get a cd icon up but if I eject it, it remains on the screen! Same goes for xfce4 in root as well. Occasionally starting up xfce4 after starting hal & dbus causes the screen to go almost completely blank and all I get is a "X" cursor on the screen with nothing else.

Even more strange, if I do the following.... (as root within xfce4)
cd /etc/rc.d
./rc.hal restart
./rc.dbus restart

If there is a cd in the cdrom drive it's found and looked at but after that the system just seems to "forget" the cdrom drive. I can read off it and eject it, but once it's ejected that's it, putting it back in does nothing.

AND,
There is a new problem:
The USB-DISK or CDROM icons only appera at the Desktop,but not in the Thunar sidebar,even I refresh the Thunar.
just as the image:

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Did you compile thunar with fam/gamin? This will make Thunar (and Xfdesktop) monitor file changes.

That the device icons only appear on the desktop is just weird, because they both use thunar-vfs for that, anyway, make sure you have the dbus, hal and fam (if you use it) daemon running. And for decent device mount support install thunar-volman (and enable it in the the Thunar propeties -> advanced) and run 'Thunar --daemon' when you start Xfce.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

If you compiled by source it will create "/etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus", so you can run it to start dbus. Don't forget to list it on your "/etc/rc.d/rc.local"  or "/etc/rc.d/rc.M". Also, you need to create an "messagebus" user account and change the owner of "/var/run/dbus" to "messagebus".

I think that is all about. Enjoy!

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Intresting, I am having similar (but not quite the same) problems.  I'm following all this smile though I'm finding nothing I will do changes the situation - I checked my /var/run/dbus and changed its owner but it seemed to make no difference. My system (as root) when I run xfce4 will "forget" to automount the cdrom drive for some weird reason.

The only way I can "fix" it (though sometimes I'll loose the desktop icons) is to do this in /etc/rc.d each time I need to use the cdrom

./rc.hal restart
./rc.dbus restart

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Maybe you guys don't have enough rights to do mounting optical devices? If the groups exist, you can try yo add yourself to the optical and storage groups (gpasswd -a you group)?

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Hum, lets try the hard way. Can you post the result of `ps -A` before and after that thing happens? I suspect that or dbus or hal or both is/are being killed or going crazy.

Do the following:
  - open one terminal;
  - type `dbus-monitor`;
  - you shold read the requests and messages exchanged.

For HAL you can try:
  - lshal.

Also, there are many steps you should accomplish. Take a look on "hal-spec.html". Have fun!

I'm still running the good old kernel 2.4.x (it means no HAL for me) but, if you can't fix the things or if someone else reports the same problem, I will install a new one just to check out.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

:? My problem is going on.
I have added the /etc/rc.d/rc.hal in rc.M,but rc.hal didnt run auto.
And I found I cant run rc.hal by myself again,when reboot the computer.This is:

root:~# /etc/rc.d/rc.hal start
Starting HAL daemon: failed

:? :twisted:

I run xfce4-4.4.0-installer.run to  install thunar. and I think I didnt install fam.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

OK, by your last post looks like you are not initializing the d-bus daemon. Put this one on on "/etc/rc.d" path (it is rc.messagebus:

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Also, don't forget to initialize d-bus before hal.

After that, if still in trouble, post the previous outlined procedures again.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

That's intresting!
Today, I upgrade dbus dbus-glib hal that download from www.linuxpackages.net/ ,and can found rc.messagebus  in /etc/rc.d/.

AND,I list rc.messagebus and rc.hal in rc.M,then reboot.That's work well for usb-disk,but cdrom didn't!!

AND,I try ljones's way:

The only way I can "fix" it (though sometimes I'll loose the desktop icons) is to do this in /etc/rc.d each time I need to use the cdrom

./rc.hal restart
./rc.dbus restart

when I do './rc.hal restart',cdrom's icons appear on desktop,but didn't  at the thunar sidebar,and can mount or umount.
And then ,I run './rc.dbus restart',there is cdrom's icons appear at the  thunar sidebar ,but the xfce-desktop  disappear...on the Desktop,is nothing!

That's precisely what happens to me -- though I can't use any packages from that site as there are no "official" HAL or DBUS or Policykit 64-packages avaliable x.x sad

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

BTW, This might help with some others out there. This dosen't fix my problem however. I forgot to mention I do have one system that does automount properly with XFCE4.4 *but* it is a 32-bit system, all the problems are on the 64-bit slamd64 system.

Note that this only works for 32-bit systems it seems -- I tried to do this for my 64-bit (slamd) system and it will not work (I get all the dbus/hal/not automounting the cdrom problems above);

For a 32-bit system (I used normal 32-bit slackware 11 running on an IBM T22 laptop to do this);

* install vte-0.14.1-i486-1mht.tgz
* dbus-0.93-i486-1mht.tgz
* dbus-glib-0.71-i486-1mht.tgz
* openssl-solibs-0.9.8d-i486-1.tgz
* hal-0.5.8.1-i486-1kjz.tgz

(Taken from http://www.linuxpackages.net/ ) .


You'll also need something called "URI-1.35", to install it --
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(that can be found here, http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/URI-1.35/ )

Then install XFCE4.4 using the graphical installer;

./Thunar-0.8.0-installer.run
./Thunar-Bundle-0.8.0-installer.run
./xfce4-4.4.0-installer.run
./xfce-goodies-4.4.0-installer.run

You might possibly have to do ln /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2 as well

Then, as root outside of X put this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

rm /var/run/dbus/pid
./etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
./etc/rc.d/rc.hal start

Might also have to edit /etc/fstab and change "owner" to user.

Then finally start xfce4.4 by typing "startxfce4" as non-root.

On that laptop I am using a linux 2.6.18 kernel btw. Unless I've forgotten to mention anything that seemed to work. Trying to adapt this either with source or by using some non-official (64-bit) packages I found here ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/  -- thse are 64 bit btw!) does *not* work at all I get all the problems I put in my previous posts unfortunatly :-( .

While I'm here I note that the 64-bit kernel version is 2.6.16.29 . I wonder if this is causing the problems? The 64-bit one seems to be slightly older than the 32-bit laptop's 2.6.18 . Would that make a difference (I am not sure!)? From memory when installing slamd64, I used the kernel called something like "huge26.s" btw . The laptop's slackware 11 kernel was updated from my Slackware 11 (32-bit) DVD, I used the one in "/testing".

EDIT: I tried compiling a 2.6.18 kernel (x86_64) (as again there are no packages, or at least nothing that supports reiserfs) unless I missed something in the compile/config it dosen't seem to have made any difference.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

AH smile now I might have an answer for this. I used some of the packages at this site ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ ) . However, this didn't seem to work. But I thought about trying the exact same version of dbus (dbus-0.93) as I'd done on the IBM laptop. Previously, I had been using other versions, such as dbus-0.92, 1.01, 0.95 etc.

Unless it's a fluke, it appears not using the dbus package from http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ (but I am guessing the dbus bindings would still be needed, I do not know) seems to work - if you don't have it installed, don't install it, if you do use pkgtool and get rid of it !

The following seemed to work:
* Get the source for dbus-0.93

Do the following;

/configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

groupadd -g 28 messagebus
useradd -c "D-BUS Message Daemon User" -d /dev/null -u 28 -g messagebus -s /bin/false messagebus

Weather or not it worked because the "old" (actually newer, v1.01) dbus had been there I am not sure.

Interesting. I have the same problem, but I do not have that option in my Thunar prefs. I only have something about when to ask whether to update perms for subfolders.

Then you need to install the thunar-volman package. You can read more about it here.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

Well I'm glad to say I finally have it working on X86-64 (64-bit)  yikes smile ;D !

But there are a couple of mysteries. Though, more on this later. But this is what I did;

1. Install slamd64 as normal . Also installed python - this isn't installed by default by the installer btw.

2. Add a non-root user  (I added a test user, aaaaa) .

3. As root-  Install these packages from here ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ );

* hal-0.5.8.1-x86_64-2dl
* vte-0.14.1-x86_64_1dl
* dbus-bindings-0.92-x86_64.1dl
* cairo-1.2.6-x86_64_1dl

(now stay as root for now!)

Also openssl and its libs are needed, however it appears they are installed by default by the slamd (slackware 11 64 bit) installer smile .

4. Get URI 1.35 from here ( http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/URI-1.35/ ) . Compile and install by;

* perl Makefile.PL
* make
* make test
* make install

5. Get dbus version 0.93 - note *no* other version seems to work. It can be found here ( http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/ ) . 

6. Add the group & user for dbus;

*  groupadd -g 28 messagebus

* useradd -c "D-BUS Message Daemon User" -d /dev/null -u 28 -g messagebus -s /bin/false messagebus

And compile it with
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

7. Then do this;
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg62.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libSM.so /usr/local/lib/libSM.so

8. Download glitz-0.5.6 from here ( http://cairographics.org/snapshots/ ) and compile it. Compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 then make & make install.

9. Install Thunar, Thunar goodies & XFCE4.4  &  XFCE4.4 goodies with the graphical installer.

10. Modify /etc/fstab - change in the line with /dev/cdrom on it from "owner" to "user".

11. chmod 0777 /media/*

12. chmod 0777 /mnt/cdrom (where my cdrom is normally mounted -- yours may differ).

13. Put rc.messagebus into /etc/rc.d

14. Edit rc.local to read;
rm /var/run/dbus/pid
./etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
./etc/rc.d/rc.hal start

15. Modify the files in /etc/dbus-1

Restart, start xfce by typing startxfce4 as *non* root and it should hopefully work!

smile

BTW, I had to pinch the rc.messagebus off my laptop to make this work. It should go in /etc/rc.d/

Now for the mysteries.....

A) Why won't any other version of dbus other than 0.93 work? Nothing else worked they just caused problems.

B) The modifications/creation of the files in /etc/dbus-1 I'm not sure about. I don't know what to change sad so I cheated, I pinched the ones from the laptop and used those smile .

Other notes:
* No kernel upgrade to 2.6.18 was needed after all in slamd64.

Now it seems to be working, all I need to do is to go through all this again so I can verify I've left nothing out!

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

;D I finally succeed，when I installed dbus-0.93 that download from here.

AND now I had installed files for auto mount removible devices:
udev-097-i486-10.tgz
dbus-0.93-i486-1gm.tgz
dbus-glib-0.72-i486-1mht.tgz
hal-0.5.8.1-i486-1kjz.tgz

Thanks all above!
