Hi Iain,

Sorry, previously I made a mistake running;
# mount /dev/sdb1 /media/disk

It should be 
 # mount /dev/sda1 /media/

The USB enclosure can still be mounted.  They are there.

But there was no icon displayed on gnome desktop.  Last time following your advice running `gnome-volume-manager &` 2 icons popup on desktop and the partitions of the device mounted automatically.  It only happens once.

# df -h /media/

# umount /media/

# mount /dev/sda2 /media/

/dev/sda2             2.6G   68M  2.4G   3% /media/disk
* end *


Unplug the device

# cat /var/log/messages

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 made several tests with the same result.

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

No.

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.

Tks.

Noted with tks.

OK just for curiosity.  I found automount worked on this USB enclose when installed on FC5_64 on this PC (on another HD) and also on FC5_32 on another PC, both with icons displayed on gnome desktop.

Yes, it worked, no icons on gnome desktop.

$ ls -al /media/disk
$ ls -al /media/disk-l
showed 2 partitions of the USB enclosure.

On console

Hi folks,





Gentoo_64


gnome-light





When the USB enclosure is plugin hotplug detects it. But it won't mount
it automatically showing it as an icon on desktop. I have to mount it
manually on console. Please advise which file I have to edit enabling
auto-mount when the USB enclosure is plugged. TIA
