| − | {{Out of date|This article still references ConsoleKit, which has been deprecated.}}
| |
| − | [http://bitbucket.org/byronclark/udiskie Udiskie] is an automatic disk mounting service using {{Pkg|udisks}}. It can be used for mounting CDs, flash drives, and other media. It is simple to use and requires no configuration.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Installation==
| |
| − | You can [[pacman|install]] Udiskie by using the {{pkg|udiskie}} package that is found in the [[Official Repositories]].
| |
| − | Start the Udiskie service by adding
| |
| − | | |
| − | udiskie &
| |
| − | | |
| − | to your [[xinitrc]] file, before the [[window manager]] is loaded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Once Udiskie is running, all removable media will automatically be mounted under <code>/media</code> under a new directory that matches the device name.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Permissions===
| |
| − | udiskie requires permission for the <code>org.freedesktop.udisks.filesystem-mount</code> action to be granted through [[PolicyKit]]. If you use a display manager that supports [[ConsoleKit]] this will be taken care of for you automatically. If you don't, you'll need to set up consolekit to work with startx/xinit or use the storage group method.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Consolekit ====
| |
| − | {{Note|You may have to start udiskie after your window manager is started. You may have to use the storage group method if your WM doesn't provide this functionality.}}
| |
| − | <!-- if someone has a way to start udiskie after the wm is started as a child process, (sub-shell + sleep) won't work, put it here--->
| |
| − | | |
| − | Start your window manager or desktop environment with ck-launch-session, for example, an exec line in ~/.xinitrc:
| |
| − | exec ck-launch-session awesome
| |
| − | | |
| − | You may need to start udiskie within the Consolekit session -- that seems to be necessary, for example, when launching [[dwm]]:
| |
| − | exec ck-launch-session bash -c "udiskie & dwm"
| |
| − | | |
| − | ====Storage group====
| |
| − | If it doesn't already exist, create the file {{ic|/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-udiskie.pkla}} with these contents:
| |
| − | [Local Users]
| |
| − | Identity=unix-group:storage
| |
| − | Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
| |
| − | ResultAny=yes
| |
| − | ResultInactive=yes
| |
| − | ResultActive=yes
| |
| − | | |
| − | This example configuration allows any member of the {{ic|storage}} group to mount and unmount disks with udiskie.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Unmounting ==
| |
| − | Use the <code>udiskie-umount</code> command to unmount media. For example, for a device named "MY_USB_DRIVE":
| |
| − | | |
| − | udiskie-umount /media/MY_USB_DRIVE
| |
| − | | |
| − | Or, you can unmount all media with the command:
| |
| − | | |
| − | udiskie-umount -a
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Window Manager Menu Scripts ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | For convenience, you can add a script to the menu in some window managers to allow for easy access and control of removable media.
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Openbox===
| |
| − | Here's an openbox menu script that offers a slight variation on the WindowMaker example below:
| |
| − | | |
| − | <pre>
| |
| − | #!/bin/bash
| |
| − | | |
| − | # An openbox menu for removable media (requires udiskie).
| |
| − | #
| |
| − | # This script will generate sub-menus for any device mounted
| |
| − | # under /media. You can browse the device in a file manager or
| |
| − | # unmount it.
| |
| − | #
| |
| − | # It will ignore the "cd", "dvd", and "fl" directories and the U3
| |
| − | # containers found on some windows formatted drives
| |
| − | #
| |
| − | # By default, this script uses the rox file manager to browse the
| |
| − | # media.
| |
| − | | |
| − | DIR=$(cd $(dirname "$0") && pwd)
| |
| − | SCRIPT=$(basename "$0")
