read/write access for usb-sticks can be made by editing /etc/auto.misc as:- ustick -fstype=vfat,rw,gid=8,umask=002 :/dev/sdXY the 'kludge' is to create a few (2 or 3) for different values of X and Y so that if/when the usb device is plugged out then in again (and gets another usb-bus-ID), it can still be accessed. > > Report of any ways on how plasmoid may/could be made to point to mount > points created in /etc/auto.misc would be gratefully received. I came acrose this:- http://code.google.com/p/hal-autofs/ The piece mentions downloading/installing hal_autofs_0.5.tgz and editing /etc/auto.master to have the folllowing line:-. /misc /etc/auto.hal --timeout=1 --ghost however there is no auto.hal in the code in hal_autofs_0.5.tgz and it is very unclear what the entries would be. My literature dig points to this approach ~somewhat abanoned since 2004. The system with autofs is a useful stop-gap until a fix is available likely in kde-4.3.0. hope the above is of help to others with problems with kde-4.2.x > sincerely > lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
