Hmm, what do you mean with auto mount? do you mean that as soon that you are connected to your home network, a share of some others of your computers at home should be mounted? I think that is pretty difficult to do. You might be able to do it with new Upstart ( <a href="http://upstart.ubuntu.com/">http://upstart.ubuntu.com/</a>). Then you'd have to create some kind of job descriptions. But probably it does not even have this functionality yet, you'd have to wait till ubuntu 8.10 at least, I would guess. Or do you want that network share to automount at boot? That could be accomplished by typing the share /etc/fstab. What does your fstab look like, could send it? In this line (taken from my own fstab), the user keyword means that normal users can mount /umount it. Maybe you can try adding that? /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 /Pär <div>2007/12/31, Sam Fielder <<a href="mailto:srf10130@vtc.vsc.edu" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">srf10130@vtc.vsc.edu</a>>:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> I am trying to set up my laptop to do the following: -When I am at home (attached to my network): -auto mount a network share containing my music library -auto mount my 4Gb SD card (if present) -be able to transfer a playlist to the SD card for later -When away (not connected to network or internet): -auto mount SD card -listen to previously synced playlist -Always: -be able to mount/umount the network share and the SD card from the gui -what is working: -syncing playlist to SD card with Amarok when (SD and smb share) mounted -SD mounts on boot -Not working -Cannot umount SD card or network share(when mounted) from the gui: / / * /[mntent]: line 17 in /etc/fstab is bad: only root can unmount UUID=364B-50C2 from /media/mmcblk0p1/ -network share doesn't mount at boot I don't think my fstab is setup right.
