Something strange happened here. After serveral boots the trick did not work any more. Login as "user" # `gnome-volume-manager &` (gnome-volume-manager:6102): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed. * end * However # ls /media disk still showing one mount point of the partitions (the HD on USB enclosure has 2 partitions, both on ext3). Another disk-1 disappeared. But it has not mounted. I have to run; # mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk I haven't figured out the cause.

I'm running gnome-light of version 2.14.2. I'm prepared to install the full gnome. But I haven't figured out whether just run; # emerge -av gnome OR # emerge --unmerge gnome-light && emerge gnome I have installed some packages on gnome-light > Did you try the gconf key: > gconftool-2 --type bool --set /system/storage/display_internal_hard_drives true No. > How did your versions of software compare with those listed in comment > #68 in http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=107784 ? I read this thread before on sorting out the problem of the mobo (ASUS A8N-VM) on this Gentoo box. The mouse pointer always hangs if without adding "noapic" on the line on "grub.conf" booting the kernel I also came across another thread; http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=57791&page=6 At this juncture I can't ascertain whether my problems encountered coming from the software or the mobo.
