Please reinstall the fglrx legacy driver. Currently you only have the userspace Part installed, but the kernel module is missing. Make sure to remove everything you installed by just running the catalyst installer script without creating packages.

I wanted to make sure, that people don't assume that -testing is always stable. It is just "master branch" compiled automatically. But yeah at that part of the release cycle it is much more stable than during other merge cycles.

1. Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 minimal install -at least) will leave connected usb devices unconfigured!
   
2. Users will not be able to mount them using pmount /dev/sdb* even if that is the mount point) regardless if /media/devicename exists or not
   
3. Trying to mount a usb device it will complain that /dev/sdb or sdb* does not exist (if that's your usb drive enumeration -presuming your system is using /dev/sda), MAKEDEV sdb will not help in fact just spews out more errors or silly messages that do not point to any solution.
   
4. Using fritsch udev rule alone, does nothing of consequence, to affect the usb devices left connected.

Resolved LINUX and XBMC usbautomount for usb devices that are left connected during reboot, bootup, whatever. and no need for fstab entries either.

The problem:

1. Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 minimal install -at least) will leave connected usb devices unconfigured!
   
2. Users will not be able to mount them using pmount /dev/sdb* even if that is the mount point) regardless if /media/devicename exists or not

4. Using fritsch udev rule alone, does nothing of consequence, to affect the usb devices left connected.
   

The clew to solving this, is in running dmesg | grep usb before unplugging and after replugging the device: the message that saves the day is usbcore: registered new interface driver usb-storage

The solution: (as root because of permissions)

Code:

echo usb-storage >> /etc/modules
wget http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=NUsLQFi4 -O /etc/udev/rules.d/media-by-label-auto-mount.rules

Tweak: reduce usb power consumption (why not?)

Append usbcore.autosuspend=-1

Code:

nano /etc/default/grub

Find your current GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=

Code:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash usbcore.autosuspend=-1"
update-grub

I haven't tested without the udev rule and because I had it on already, really haven't taken it out, as it seems to !work! as is.

After this any USB ddevices will show up in /media automatically after boot and show up in XBMC under Video>Files and in Filemanager without needing to add as source!

And that is all folks.

hehe - seems you missed that part in the original howto. Btw. this is really coming from the ARCH linux guys. I just modified it to fit xbmc user needs, so it matches the howto wsnipex and I were writing 6 months. ago.

is this xbmc-version supporting the cec adapter from pulse-eight? i want to buy one from pulse-eight, but my system is so nice running with your xbmc-version and i don´t want to try another only for cec-support!
