System: oss-10.3.x86_64 on amd-64


After normal automounting of PATA optical media and one
usb camera (Toshiba-PDR-3330) for quite some time under
openSUSE-10.2-32bit, somewhere along the line and maybe
with the upgrade to openSUSE-10.3 64-bit, it all came to
an end. Now upon powering up a connected usb camera I get
what I think is a kde-controll popup

hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result)

I found this advice to edit

Yast -> System -> /etc/sysconfig editor -> System -> Boot -> RUN_PARALLEL = no

and also to edit /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf to read

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<return result="yes" />
</match>

all to no avail, left the system edit with a "no" and undid
the PolicyKit change.



@
http://suseforums.net/lofiversion/index.php/t44337.html

it is suggested to remove file

/usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi

There was no such file.



Then somewhere else I found advice to upgrade to these

PolicyKit-devel-0.7-3.2.x86_64.rpm
PolicyKit-0.7-3.2.x86_64.rpm
hal-0.5.10_git20071212-10.2.x86_64.rpm

Did that too.

Now the problem is solved i.e. no more alert/error/warning, except
that CD/DVD & camera still don't autmount. I can mount the optical
medium but have no idea how to mount a usb camera.


Yast > Hardware > Hardware Indformation shows

devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0

after editing usbfs from noauto to auto

In principle I'd want everything EXCEPT magnetic drives automounted.

What else can I do?


TIA
