Hello,
I have a FreeBSD 7.0 install, and I am running the Gnome Desktop (2.22)
I was hoping that someone had a nice HOWTO or could paste their config files.
I want my usb sticks to auto mount when I insert them like they do on PC-BSD
not sure how Gnome does it, but I would imagine it uses hald for it. u may have
it installed already ( man pkg_info if u don't know ;) ).
u need to add this to your rc.conf to have it all running on startup
hald_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
dbus_enable="YES"
The HALD needs to be started in the specific order as
# enable HALd
dbus_enable="YES"
polkitd_enable="YES"
hald_enable="YES"
/etc/fstab needs to be edited
/dev/cd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/acd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/cdrom cd9660 rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/floppy msdosfs rw, noauto 0 0
/dev/ugen0 /usr/home/Pedja/mnt/camera msdosfs rw, noauto 0 0
/etc/devfs.conf neets to be edited
# Allow all users to mount the floppy disk.
own /dev/fd0 root:operator
perm /dev/fd0 0666
# Allow members of the group operator to mount CD-ROMs.
perm /dev/acd0 0666
perm /dev/cd0 0666
# Commonly used by many ports
link cd0 cdrom
link cd0 dvd
link cd0 rdvd
link acd0 cdrom
link acd0 dvd
link acd0 rdvd
# Misc other devices

perm /dev/uscanner0 0666
perm usb* 0666
perm ulpt* 0666
perm lpt0 0666
perm ugen* 0666
also you have to add in /etc/sysctl.conf
vfs.usermount=1
For USB stick also /etc/usbd.conf needs to be edited. I mount USB stick
manually so figure out yourself.
Either read documentation or copy important files from PC-BSD.
I know that if I put gnome_enable in my /etc/rc.conf then it all works
BUT, I would prefer not to use gdm on bootup
Kevin replied to this. I would just add, if you want some other login manager
to run, (xdm, wdm), you'd have to install them and enable them in rc.conf
If you follow Kevin's email by the letter, you'll have to log in to the text
console and launch your X session manually.
I also am having trouble trying to get k3b to burn CD''s without being root
man devfs.conf
