    Automounting devices

    Is there any way to automount usb devices? I noticed KDE or kubuntu only appears to be half way mounting them. I had installed Karmic and now installed Jaunty hoping to resolve this problem... Where I thought the problem was the degradation of hal in karmic. Jaunty Gnome is mounting flawlessly, when in both KDE Jaunty and Karmic I have to click the device to actually mount it.

    Im trying to setup a computer for some linux novices, instructing them to open in file manager before actually being able to use the device seems redundant and unacceptable.

    How can I have it so when a thumb drive, ipod, etc is plugged in - it mounts as it would if I gave it an action, automatically? Currently I see it in both Jaunty and Karmic in the Device Notifier or while browsing files, but never actually mounts it (unless I click it from file manager or give it an action to open it from device notifier)

    Thanks in advance

    Options
    (KDE 4.3)

    The Linux is options.

    Shortly:
    - The KDE 4 is using a device notifier (or manager) plasmoid to present the options for a new device.
    - The plasmoid will show available actions play/rip/whatever... for a device.
    - Some of the plasmoids have more options than the other.

    The Desktop Manager plasmoid have an option to: "Automount the devices" or not to.

    Earlier > Topic: Kubuntu Karmic does not mount USB device automatically. >> Device Manager.

    The "Device Manager" is merged to the "Device Notifier" in the KDE 4.4 ( > device notifier work for 4.4).


    Binaries can be found from the PPA /1/ repositories > Show PPAs matching: plasma-widget-device-manager.

      And you can also control auto-mounting through K Menu > System Settings > Advanced > Removable Devices
      Check Enable automatic mounting of removable media
