Porteus does not offer mounting of dev no more

[francois]

I am working with v09 frugal install. Before this version, the OS use to ask for mounting of the usb key each time I would plug it in. Each time that I plug the usb, to get access to the files of the usb key or of any external hdd, I have to resort to:
mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1

Is there a reason why it does not work this way anymore? Is there a new shortcut?

please check if your 'hal' daemon is running.

hi!
it works for me like fanthom, but only if I plug in when the Desktop is loaded, however if I boot with the pendrive in, it don't be mounted automatically, I must put in console "mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/sdb1"
I run porteus from USB pendrive

[fanthom]

looks like my implementation of LLS is too fast for your pendrive
add 'delay=2' cheatcode and booting will be slowed down by 2 secs which should be enough for your pendrive to get initialized by the kernel. Once done, stick should be automounted properly.
Let me know if that works for you.

Sorry everybody. The problem seems to be tied to my frugal install and to its save changes folder. Meaning rebooting anew without the changes folder did the job.

Thanks for the feedback.

There is no time for a splash screen to be appreciated. It is TOO fast! Please put a sleep 30 at the end.

Does anyone know of a faster booting linux? I think DSL and xpud are around the same for me.

I worked on Lubuntu to see how to Lxde desktop look like.
yes, when mount devices we see notification window on KDE,
this notification window works on Lubuntu, but it's not work on Lxde Porteus, but when I open Pcmanfm file manager I must go to directory manually or mount USB flash manually.

in LXDE must be like this for Pcmanfm and notification window.

Concerning the frugal install, I really love jcsoh comment on transforming the save changes folder into a lzm module, citation:

... convert the changes partition or subdirectory to a lzm module (search this expression in the following post)

It happens to me frequently that with time my changes file gets corrupted or all mixex up. Jcsoh's solution is rather elegant, see:

@francoise
please do not post remix or porteus bug reports on slax site. we created porteus site for this purpose. open a bug in relevant subforum and i'll help you with a pleasure.

@KSA_ARAB
works for me with default ISO for both editions:

@ksa_arab
your link is module for cosmetic change so LXDE looks prettier, i had problem too if it is not vanilla porteus even with converting your linked tx file

thank you very much!!! "delay=2" works fine!

@fanthom:
Sorry for that. There was a grey zone between slax and porteus, remix. I will be more strict in the future keeping remix and porteus for porteus forum, and naming remix as porteus. However, I can read on slax forum that there are still some people unaware of that distinction.

And thanks for the help proposition.
