Should be fixed in head (after alpha) so next version will contain the fix, however the already mentioned advancedsettings.xml should make it work.

i tried the

Code:
~/.xbmc/userdata/advancedsettings.xml

Code:
<advancedsettings>

<handlemounting>true</handlemounting> 

</advancedsettings>

But no luck what so ever.

Ok, I think I need to fix the logging abit, this log tells me to little (my fault).

My bet is that your device isn't recognised as removable, or there is yet another regression regarding this.

I'll take a big look at it and hopefully it'll be fixed in next alpha.

ok thx a lot

Hi folks,... first post.

Ive compiled xbmc on an debian testing system, it seems to be working so far but i also have a broken "HAL" -> USB auto add, tweaked my advancedsettings.xml and now when i plug in an drive/stick xmbc crashes with "segmentation fault".. any ideas?

Thanks

nobody? any ideas?

- topfs2 - 2009-11-15

compile with debug, your crashlog doesn't generate any usefull data unfortuanatly.

- Nogood5 - 2009-11-23

Works like a charm in beta1. Thanks to those who fixed it (made it noob proof)

I resolved usb automount trouble by adding next HAL & sys politics for 'xbmc' user:

In /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf

add section

Code:
<policy user="xbmc">

    <allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>

</policy>

In file /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

Change line

Code:
<match user="root">

to line

Code:
<match user="root|xbmc">

Here is my htpc config: e7aum-ds2h, Jaunty 'mini'(9.04), xbmc beta1.

welcome to forum.
The way you are fixing this isnt very recommended. the correct way is to use polkit-auth --grant. This is explained elsewere on the forum. Its very bad to blindly set xbmc to do root stuff over dbus. if you for instance have xbmc connected to the internet with http someone could do some real nasty stuff to the PC.

Cheers,
