kubuntu 9.04 automatically mounting removable devices when they are plugged

[netimen]

I have found many threads on this problem but still no solution.

I want the following behavior when I plug a device (USB stick or CD disk):

1. it should be mounted automatically for me. Now it isn't, though it appears in fdisk -l output:

Disk /dev/sdd: 8006 MB, 8006926336 bytes
16 heads, 32 sectors/track, 30544 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 512 * 512 = 262144 bytes
Disk identifier: 0x9b12d290

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/sdd1   *          16       30544     7815232    b  W95 FAT32

and if I mount it manually, all goes OK

2. if I mount manually my CD disk and then press the eject button on my drive nothing happens until I manually unmount the drive. But I want it to open immediately

All this worked for me in kubuntu 8.10, and broke with the upgrade.

my fstab entries

/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec,utf8 0       0
/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat noexec,codepage=866,utf8,nosuid,nodev,quiet,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,user 0 0

/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat noexec,codepage=866,utf8,nosuid,nodev,quiet,uid=10 00,gid=1000,umask=077,user 0 0

try it to be

/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat user,auto,sync 0 0

try it to be

Thank you, but it didn't work. I did the following: I edited my fstab file, reloaded it with

mount -v -a

and got an error message

mount: special device /dev/sdc1 does not exist

because no drive were plugged. Finally I plugged the stick, but it wasn't mounted automatically, I had to do it manually

ok i need you to plug it and post the output of

sudo fdisk -l

sorry, stupid of me, I thought the part concerning my hdd is unnecessary.

there is also another strange thing — my plugged in cd disk isn't listed above

why your flash drive is marked as boot???

/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat user,auto,sync 0 0

you said it didn't work,hmmmm!

try in stead of vfat ->auto

Hm, I don't know why it's marked as boot. If it causes the error what should I do?

/dev/sdc1 /media/usb vfat user,auto,sync 0 0

this causes automounting my device on boot if it is plugged, but not when I plug it

[kmitnick]

mmm i am not sure if it causes the issue, but let me try some and i will post you back
