I was inpired by Steve Litt's amounter, but I prefer a semi-automatic. And I wanted an easy clicky way to use pmount. So I recycled some code from refracta2usb and added inotifywait.
The result is a set of scripts that will pop up a window showing the partitions on the usb drive when it's plugged in. Then it mounts your choice and opens it in your default file manager. There are probably better ways to do this, but the only programming I know well enough to be useful is shell, and a good portion of this was already written. That makes it an ecologically responsible choice. If anyone wants to try it, there's a tarball here - http://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/testing/usbwait.tar.gz/download Installation is completely manual right now. Open the tarball and copy the files according to the file list. I can roll up a .deb file later. You can use usbpmount.sh and usb-unmount.sh with panel buttons without using inotifywait. You won't get a popup window this way, but you can click to mount and unmount as unprivileged user. (pmount/pumount) If you want the popup window, the user needs sudo privileges for one of the scripts. A file is included to add to /etc/sudoers.d/ for this. With a few changes, it'll work (mostly) with zuluMount instead of yad|zenity. Depends: pmount, hwinfo, yad|zenity Recommends: inotify-tools yad for jessie is available here - http://debs.slavino.sk/files-testing.php Comments and suggestions are welcome. fsmithred _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
