XBMC is not automatically mounting USB drives which are already plugged in when xbmc is being started. To get them mounted I have to unplug them and plug them again.
Thats with svn 24081 and <handlemounting>true</handlemounting>

gah crap I know why, it shouldn't initialize hal before advanced settings gets loaded, thx for the Debug Log and as ezechiel says. unplug and replug. I'll fix in svn shortly.
Note that --standalone still works, it's just the advanced settings entry that doesn't.

Checkout the advancedsetting entry I posted here if you still wish to give it a last try.
As gabbot said; no offense taken. I actually expected some sort of reply like that.
I don't mind the bugs i am just and not even the fact that i can't get my USB to work i just like to tinker with stuff and get my first linux experience.

You'll get xbmc live 9.10 sooner or later aswell, it's barking outside the window.
And it's sharp, lugi have done an awesome work in the next release, so keep the curiosity levels high

I have a similar issue (external USB drives not being mounted automatically) with latest XBMC PPA on Ubuntu 9.10 AMD64, but it's probably a bug in DeviceKit or in the kernel. The problem stems from the fact that XBMC automounts removable devices only (which makes sense), but DeviceKit erroneously reports attached USB hard disks as non-removable (devicekit-disks --show-info lists them with the "removable" flag set to 0).
I already posted an help request to the Ubuntu forum, but I got no replies so far. Is anyone experiencing the same problem?

He does not have the same issue.
And SVN can perfectly well mount stuff, I use it myself. without logs to back it up (and since you seem to fail to start with the standalone flag you must have the advancedsettings) you must be doing something wrong.

hello topfs2
i have created the advancedsettings.xml - i put it on the userdata folder.
write on there:
<handlemounting>true</handlemounting>
and nothing not any luck.
but when i downgraded to the xbmc_9.04.3+svn23754 it works again
but when i downgraded it i got problems with sound...so i solve a problem but create a another.
so i stick to the final svn
if you have any idea...
thanks for your patience

for starters format the advancedsettings.xml correctly
- mat1983 - 2009-11-03
how i format the advancedsettings.xml
doing this:
<advancedsettings>
<handlemounting>true</handlemounting>
</advancedsettings>
thanks
- fidoboy - 2009-11-03
Yes, thanks mat1983, adding this to advancedsettings.xml solves the problem. Nice!

It seems that the problem has reoccurred in the 9.11 alpha release combined with Ubuntu 9.10.
I have a USB NTFS external hard drive connected to my ASROCK ION 330.
Since i upgraded to the 9.11 XBMC doesn't mount my hardrive in standalone mode. i fixed this by booting in Gnome and setting XBMC as startup apllication. then everyting works fine i even get an message in XBMC "/Media/1.5TB drive mounted".
I'm not at home rigt now so i can't post my logs, but are there any other people who have this problem ?
