Dolphin (and consorts) call "udisks" via messagebus / udev protocoll, and thus get the permission / rights to do it without direct "root rights" You can do that manually

Its not ?autofs? specifically (which is a simple thing) but udev talking to udisks, allowing your login session to use udisks to mount the

Can anyone tell me when the udisks, python-pexpect, and pyxdg packages in EPEL will be updated so I can install yumex under CentOS 7?

Hi! this is surely a newbie question, so I should know the answer, but I'm fighting with mounting a CD such that filenames are NOT mapped to lowercase (I need to use its on-board tools for accessing files on it while mounted on Centos 6.5, and those tools assume uppercawse, since they assume the entire world runs Windoze.) but despite my best efforts, it keeps being mounted with UC-LC

Is it possible to configure the automounting of USB drives to mount read-only? Is there some gconf/udev/udisks/hal/whatever setting to alter the default mount options when USB disks are plugged in by users? Thanks James Pearson

Hello there, since I installed CentOS6 few months ago (kept up-to-date using yum), I'm facing very poor performances when writing to USB pendrives. The hardware: a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (Intel Core Duo P8600 @2.40Ghz), 4Go RAM + 4Go swap, several USB2 pendrives of various brands (less than old, all formatted as vfat). When I perform a copy (with cp or midnight commander, copying big

On a ldap enabled CentOS 6.3 x64 system, I try to make it so home directories are auto-created. I added this : session required pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel/ umask=0077 to my /etc/pam.d/system-auth And it does nothing. I restarted messagebus (I've seen references to that) and sshd, and logs don't mention anything in regards to pam_mkhomedir... Any hints ?

Hi list, I've made a new CentOS 5 install with all updates. My users are sored in a ldap directory. If i reboot the machine, CentOs hangs at: starting messagebus I found the same problem at Fedora 5. The solution should be to change "etc/init.d/ladp" from 27 to 21 so it starts before messagebus (22) So is this the "right" solution or is there a other way? Thanks

I shut the server down last evening due to power surges and when I tried to bring it back up, it stops at starting sendmail. Is there a way around this? Todd -- Ariste Software 2200 D Street Ext Petaluma, CA 94952 (707) 773-4523

Yes, really. I've got hundreds of the damn things here at home, and I want to go through them and get rid of them all. But... to do that I want to read them. I have both a 5.25" and a 3.5" drive, both are plugged in, but in the BIOS, all I see is the 3.5". Fine, I figure I'll take care of those. Nope. I see /dev/fd0 once I've booted up, but neither konqueror nor

I'd like to make plots that do not have the quadratic layout, like having a plot that is twice as wide as it is high (without distorting everything). Sadly i wasn't able to find anything in par that does that. Best would be with plot(), but i'd use the ggplot package as well if necessary. thanks, Jessica
