mount window on VL70 light

[ted_chou12]

Hi, I am troubled that a mount window that pops up before when I plug in usb flash drive or insert cds (a small window probably 200x200 that has mount and umount buttons) which detects the hardware mounts recently does not pop up anymore, I wonder where this script is, if I have accidentally disabled it or I can edit it somehow?
Thanks,
Ted

Hi.
What desktop enviroment are you using (Fluxbox, XFce, Kde,...)? ..

Did you make any changes before it stopped working (upgrade some packages, kernel, etc)?

After plugging usb flash drive, run command dmesg and paste output here (just the last part where you can see the information about connected device).

I think my system is LXDE if I am not wrong.

Code:

root:# uname -a
Linux server 3.0.17 #1 SMP Fri Jan 20 08:54:56 MST 2012 i686 Intel(R) Celeron(R
 CPU 2.40GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux

I currently turn it on server mode, not gui mode so I think the uname appears as server.

The feature you describe is unique to VL7 Light with IceWM.
Scripts are in /usr/local/bin/ (udev-find/mon/popup).
They are invoked from ~/.icewm/startup. Look for the "# auto-mount" section.

If you run LXDE, the auto-mounting takes place within the file manager PCManFM.

Thanks nightflier! I believe it is indeed the feature that you are describing. In addition, i have found the following line in /home/ted/.icewm/startup:

Code:

# auto-mount
udev-mon --exec-on-drive "udev-find %f %d drive" --exec-on-disc "udev-find %f %d optical" &

But when I attempt to enter this into the terminal, no command is found:

Code:

root:# udev-mon
bash: udev-mon: command not found
server://home/ted
root:# udev-find %f %d drive
bash: udev-find: command not found
server://home/ted
root:# udev-mon --exec-on-drive "udev-find %f %d drive" --exec-on-disc "udev-find %f %d optical"
bash: udev-mon: command not found

and I can't find the /usr/local/bin directory:

Code:

root:# cd /usr/local
server://usr/local
root:# ls
etc/  games/  include/  info/  lib/  man/  sbin/  share/  src/

I don't recall removing this folder though, how can I restore this feature?
Thanks,
Ted

You can extract these files from your VL7-Light ISO file, or a CD burned with the image. This needs to be done as root.

For an ISO:

Code:

mount -o loop /path/to/VL7.0-LIGHT.iso /mnt/loop

For a CD:

Code:

mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

Now navigate to the mount point, then continue to the "config" folder.
Find a file named "option1.txz".
You can manually extract whatever you want from the archive,
or re-install everything with command

Code:

installpkg option1.txz

thanks! btw, I tried searching this issue online, although info was limited but the scripts seems to be written by you? (icewmvmods) awesome!
