Automounting in userspace with ivman

what about doing an "emerge sync" and "ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge -va ivman"?

Well, I synced about two or three hours ago, but I've got no ivman ebuil in the portage tree. The only ivman ebuild I've got ist the CVS ebuild from redeemans overlay, which is missing the manager.c patch (because it doesn't apply to the cvs tree anymore I assume).

If an ivman ebuild (including manager.c-patch) has been comitted to the portage tree in the last few hours, my problem will solve itself after the next sync, of course.

Ivman is in portage now as of October 19th.

This is what happens when I try to emerge ivman-0.3 from the portage tree:

Please try it again, as it works here, i do not really see why it should not for you, please delete every overlay ebuild for ivman and such.

Ivman gives the same error on both of my gentoo boxes.

yay, it works. I synced a few minutes ago and now ivman compiles flawlessy and even 'eject' works as normal user. Very cool!

hello
I don't know why _my_ ivman doesn't mount cdroms?
I hav hal 4.0 and ivman 0.3 from portage
When i insert cd nothing happens
I disabled fstab-sync and enabled the mapping in ivman.Mappings
Any ideas ?

I think you configured too much, its just emerging and inserting a cd

I've got problem with ivman. In logs I can read:

ok, this stuff works great for cdroms... I can automount both cdrom drives without changing anything in the config...

Problem is, I have the following line:

Should be HAL. Ivman doesnt care about USB sticks, normally

OK, so according to /etc/hal/hald.conf, I need an fdi file to tell HAL I don't want to use uba.

Any idea of the format of this file? Google came up empty...

I found out how to fix my ivman... (didn't want to mount my CDs). It was because of wrong fstab. I delete my old entries, and let ivman/hal to add theirs (via fstab-sync). And it added:

switching from ivman+hal+dbus all cvs versions to ivman+hal+dbus from portage raised some problems.. lolz

(

--> when i insert a cd by pushing the cdrom eject/insert button it gets mounted but doesn't get unmounted when pressing the same button, but when i mount a cd (not yet inserted in the cdrom, but present in the cdrom tray) using the mount comand the cd (first gets sucked in and) gets mounted and i can unmount it by just pressing the cdroms eject button

and it's kinda frustating...

are you using any file manager which mounts cd's automaticlly? I have the same problem if rox is open on my /mnt/ and I click on cdrom...

Guess you'll have to wait to let ivman mount it, then refresh, then click the cdrom dir.

ok, my gag is:
I'we managed to get it working, through portage. ivman still doesn't umount cd, but ejects them. And when I aded ivman to default in rc-update I couldn't start the system. It got to a starting automounter, than automounter couldn't find some devices, well I remember seing something with hal and usb in that lines. /hal/ in every line as I remember.
But acording to udev guide I have everything set up right. And have gentoo=nodevfs in grub.conf.
The system boots ok, if ivman is not in rc-update as default and I run it later.
OOOOOO, now I remembered, when this failed the fork was set to "false" and debug to "true"
I'm going to reboot now and see what happens.
# a lot of monolog for nothing a?

Yes, it reboots ok now.
But it's still not umounting

Hi to all:

I'm now a bit desperate about ivman... so many tries, reading the hole thread... without success. It tries to mount the cd's, but it doesn't umount them... with or without the patch, from the portage tree or cvs... there's no eject event in my machine...
Is there a solution to this?

Thanks a lot

As I know, I didn't touch the udev rules. Just followed the udev guide in docs section on gentoo page. And it worked. Did you do everything acording to the guide?

tkdfighter · Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 2:18 pm Post subject:

I did. But no matter what I did, it would not produce any device nodes for my cdrw and dvdrom drives. So I started playing around with the rules. In the end, I discovered that the module ide-cd was not being loaded. I added that to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6 and it worked.

But now you have me thinking. I'll try and see what happens when I comment out those rules, now that the module is being loaded.

tkdfighter · Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 2:34 pm Post subject:

Well, I tried. Now it's making the devices, but still no messages from dbus thus far.

tallest · Posted: Sun Nov 14, 2004 10:49 pm Post subject:

I seem to have ivman working properly as it automounts cds when I put them in, but it won't eject them when I press the eject button. I ran dbus-monitor --system and saw output when I put the cd in, but nothing when I pressed the eject button. Might dbus not support my drives?

Thanks,
Aaron

Forgive my newbie-ish question, but I'm accustomed to "#" being used to comment out a line; is "<!--" that I've been seeing recently in other config files as well as the ivman config files a new way to comment out a line? Is it just the "<", or the "<!", or what?
