It would definitely appear that hal-lock is not running. Perhaps hal- lock is not included on the Ubuntu Netbook Remix Live Distro?
On my system running kubuntu 10.04, I get the following results from the ps command. The important entry here is hal-lock since hal-lock prevents automounting of devices. $ ps -ef | grep gparted gedakc 8688 1772 2 19:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/bin/gksu /usr/local/sbin/gparted root 8693 8688 0 19:37 ? 00:00:00 /bin/sh /usr/local/sbin/gparted root 8709 8693 0 19:37 ? 00:00:00 hal-lock --interface org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Storage --exclusive --run /usr/local/sbin/gpartedbin root 8710 8709 4 19:37 ? 00:00:00 /usr/local/sbin/gpartedbin gedakc 8904 2045 0 19:37 pts/1 00:00:00 grep --color=auto gparted $ You might try using a different Live CD, perhaps even the GParted Live image from the gparted.org web site. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734129 Title: Gparted Remounting Drives -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
