When I talk about automatic mounts I mean the system mounting all drives (that you want mounted) without your intervention and usually before you reach the desktop and the lack of need to even click on the volume in the Places menu. When I say manual mount I mean in the context of having to do something to make the drive active and that technically is mounting the drive manually. Yes, you're right in the sense you don't run the "mount" command but the drives are not "automatically" set up for you when you begin - YOU have to take the next action, hence it becomes manual to some extent.
Anyway, I agree that RhythmBox should be able to mount the volume, as the mounting procedure that exists in the "Places" menu is done at user level and doesn't require administrative privileges. I'd like, in fact, to know why exactly automatic mounting was disabled in 8.04 and 8.10 (which I'm testing now, still the same story) as volumes were automatically mounted at startup in previous versions of Ubuntu, which in affect negated this problem. -- rhythymbox gets rid of my library every time i open it https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/230111 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
