[gentoo-user] problems using ivman

[Stefán István]

Hello!

I have some little problems with ivman, and I hope somebody could help me:
 - It does not creates entries in fstab, so when I put in some device, though 
it is mounted it is not shown on kde's desktop.
- The mounted devices only can be unmounted by root, not as simple user. This 
is problem when using pendrives for example, because if I write something to 
the device I want to unmount it before plug it out to avoid data loss.

Thanks for the helps in advance,
István

Don't use ivman with KDE, it has it's own auto-mounting system. As long
as KDE was merged with the hal USE flag and you have "Enable HAL backend"
set in Control Centre->Peripherals->Storage Media.

This uses pmount, which it seems like ivman does not, which doesn't write
entries in /etc/fstab. This is how it should be, I don't want software
messing with a file so critical to my system's health.

Good fortune will find you provided you left clear instructions.

I'm afraid that kde was emerged without tha hal use flag. What parts of it 
should I reemerge with this useflag?
I tried kdebase-startkde, but ii doesn't use tha hal use flag.

Thanks,
István

Either add hal to your global USE flags (which is probably a good idea
anyway if you're using removable devices) and do "emerge -uavDN world"
or do "equery hasuse hal | grep kde" and re-emrge the relevant packages.

Thanks for the help very much, it works noe perfectly. I chose the "smaller" 
emerge.

Besides, I think the page http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/kde-config.xml should 
be updated, because it still suggests to use ivman. 

Best regards,
István

You can use pmount with ivman since 0.6.5. In fact, I think it's the default. 
(but you can set mount as the default command also in the base settings). 
I use ivman and KDE and don't have many problems.
But it's neccesary to emerge KDE with "hal" useflag.
