    Automounting of USB drives/cameras in SUSE 10.1

    Hi Guys,
    I just solved a problem that I've seen a few other people on other forums were suffering from. I don't think it has been addressed here yet, so I thought I'd let you benefit from my wisdom.

    As I discovered, the default configuration for the automounting on SUSE 10.1 doesn't seem to work as well as on SUSE 10.0, and absolutely nothing happened when I plugged in my digital camera (the same camera that was recognised immediately by SUSE 9.3). It's possible that it's related to my setup, and won't affect others (I'm not criticising SUSE!), but it was a very simple fix.

    The USB line in my /etc/fstab was
    Code:
    usbfs                /proc/bus/usb        usbfs      noauto                  0 0
    This was how I found it after a fresh installation. I simply changed the noauto to auto, and the next time I plugged in my camera (after a reboot just in case!) a new icon popped up on the desktop, and it gave me the option to browse the images in GwenView!

    I've had some problems with automounting in other distros, i'll try your suggestion. I thought you need to use HAL and a volume manager like ivman
