I'm crying for help: What is the current _working_ approach to event-based notification and possiblly automounting on FreeBSD (here: v10.0 i386) and the desktop environments Xfce 4 or LXDE? I've been trying to get this working, but there seem to be several different, successive and also contradicting "recipes" on how to do it. Of course I already have vfs.usermount=1 set in /etc/sysctl.conf and also HAL and DBUS running. All installed software (X, Xfce, LXDE) have been installed via binary packages (pkg). Can anyone maybe share a _working_ configuration example? What I'm basically searching for: User insers CD, DVD or USB stick or SD card in USB reader. Desktop makes some noise and either shows a notification that allows to "click-mount" the media, or the media is mounted and an icon appears on the desktop. The display manager is xdm, so temporarily messing with device files is no problem with GiveConsole and TakeConsole, but as I thought about HAL et al., this should not be needed at all. Note that I have _no_ idea of how to do this because I do not use this personally, mainly due to security considerations. -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
