Have you tried halevt? It is in the Ubuntu repositories also. The description in Synaptic Package Manager for natty gives:
halevt is a daemon that acts as a policy agent on top of the Hardware Abstraction Layer. It listens to HAL events and reacts with user-configurable actions. halevt is a reimplementation of the ivman project. ** Changed in: ivman (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/717854 Title: ivman doesn't work after initial mount -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
