I'm working on switching from KDE to openbox, and I'm playing around with ivman automounting. After reading the wiki page[1] & following the instructions, I find that I still can't get USB devices to automount as a user. I can run ivman as a daemon, and it automounts just fine, except that it creates the mount points as root:root, so I can't access them. If I run ivman as a user, nothing gets automounted.

When I run ivman -d, or when I run a pmount-hal '/path/listed/in/ivman/debug/output' I get a lot of these messages: process 17673: The last reference on a connection was dropped without closing the connection. This is a bug in an application. See dbus_connection_unref() documentation for details. Most likely, the application was supposed to call dbus_connection_close(), since this is a private connection. D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

ivman has been unmaintained upstream for over 18 months. I now use the thunar volman plugin instead.

Aha, hadn't realized that.

Install thunar, and the thunar-volman plugin, then run thunar --daemon & in your startup scripts.

I'll give that a shot...I'm still wondering about the dbus "connection dropped" errors, I get the same thing when I run pmount-hal by hand; plain pmount works as advertised. Can anyone else reproduce this? -- Ryan W Sims
