| chomwitt | in a light desktop with only a window manager what would be the common way to automount an external sd card (and generally flash storage) ? | 15:11 |
|---|---|---|
| chomwitt | i find conflicting info on the internet. I found a debian wiki describing autofs service but proposing usbmount ! which seems also not used anymore.. | 15:15 |
| chomwitt | maybe udisks ? | 15:20 |
| gnarface | chomwitt: it's udisks | 15:27 |
| chomwitt | gnarface, thanks. | 15:28 |
| gnarface | well, udisks will give your window manager's gui mounting tools (if furnished) access, then it's up to you and their feature set to automount | 15:28 |
| gnarface | personally though if i was going light i'd skip that all and manually mount stuff by terminal | 15:28 |
| gnarface | or just hardcode the automount into /etc/fstab | 15:29 |
| gnarface | how practical that might be kinda depends on the use case | 15:30 |
| chomwitt | gnarface, i did that . and the closest i got to auto is mount -a and having uuid in /etc/fstab . but because i usually plug in external flash i wanted it to happen without any intervention by me. | 15:31 |
| gnarface | well udisks2 should do the trick but you might also need to add a optional window manager package or module or something | 15:33 |
| gnarface | depends on the WM | 15:33 |
| chomwitt | so i think the closest to do this ligthly :-) would be udev rules based. i took a look at that but is used in unison with autofs | 15:33 |
| chomwitt | i have awesome so my little experience with it so far makes me guess that will need a related addon. | 15:36 |
| chomwitt | i mean awesome with udisks | 15:36 |
| chomwitt | and its confusing to read many alternatives and new ways to do a use case and some tagged as depracated and some leading to dead ends . i mean why for example udev rules and autofs wouldnt be a good TUI level and ligthlevel good solution ? | 15:39 |
| gnarface | hmm | 15:41 |
| gnarface | you can probably do it with a custom udev rule though | 15:41 |
| chomwitt | if the alternative is udisks + an awesome addon i'll give udey a try | 15:42 |
| chomwitt | although i have to see how it fits with autofs | 15:43 |
| chomwitt | so for the moment i'll try https://wiki.debian.org/AutoFs | 15:47 |
| fsmithred | chomwitt, in my systems that use openbox, I do it with pmount and spacefm. | 16:02 |
| fsmithred | I plug in and then have to click in spacefm. There might be a way to get it to automount. | 16:02 |
| fsmithred | Devices, Settings, Automount (in spacefm) | 16:04 |
| chomwitt | thanks. i'll look on spacefm also | 16:05 |
| chomwitt | fsmithred, spacefm indeed mounted a sd by just clicking in the device menu! cool. | 16:36 |
| chomwitt | strange i didnt even know spacefm exists! | 16:41 |
| ribcage | hello, when I try to create a VPN connection, the list is empty. XFCE Chimaera 4.0 | 16:51 |
| ribcage | "you may not have the correct VPN plugin installed"... what is even that | 16:53 |
| ribcage_ | Now sftp:// works in the Thunar file manager, after installing gvfs-backends and gvfs-fuse. Installing them from the USB stick that the OS was installed from was a major pain, I had to add it as a file: repository in sources.list, and add [ allow-insecure=yes ] or something like that... And I had to remount it to a path without spaces because otherwise apt-get would complain about two slashes are some crap like that. | 17:11 |
| ribcage_ | for nfs:// to work, I had to install nfs-common. Strange how it's not installed by default... | 17:12 |
| ribcage_ | There is system-wide screen tearing, where the line is partly diagonal then becomes horizontal, never seen anything like that before. Happens in Firefox and the Parole player | 17:13 |
| gandhii_ | soo... currently on chimera.. wondering which would be riskier... changing my sources.list to ceres or daedulus? | 22:47 |
| phogg | unstable is always either the same risk or more risk | 22:49 |
| gandhii_ | so.. daedulus then? | 22:50 |
| gandhii_ | how far along is the daedulus development? | 22:50 |
| fsmithred | gandhii_, debian has not yet frozen bookworm, so there are a lot of changes. | 23:00 |
| fsmithred | you get fixes (and breakage) faster in ceres. | 23:00 |
| fsmithred | set sources for both daedalus and ceres and pin ceres to a lot priority so you can selectively install the fixes when you need them. (When you can't wait a week for them to move down to daedalus.) | 23:01 |
| Unit193 | A fair number have autopkgtests, that's 2 days rather than 5. :3 | 23:02 |
| Unit193 | Testing is nice to protect you via autopkgtests, installability tests, and protects from transitions. | 23:03 |
