Hi Sudheer....

I m using a sony ericsson mobile... whenever i use to connect it it ll automatically get detected and shows the icon on my desktop.. but now when i connect its not showing that way... to access that i want to manually mount the particular drive say /dev/sdb1... wat should i do to make it detect automatically... also my pen drive having same problem with the linux...

Expecting ur reply....

Re.It appears that you did not

actually i unmounted it everytime i connect.. recently what i did is that i ve stopped some services in the service manager.... it maybe due to that too.. is there any service responsible for the detection of removable drives... pls help me in this issue..

thanks for ur previous replys...

In the Services

In the Services Configuration window, enable autofs and haldaemon.
With warm regards,
Sudheer

Re.In the services

hi sudheer ,
i have started the autofs service.. but when i tried to start
the haldaemon its showing an error message that :

haldaemon failed.
The error was: Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]

how should i proceed further??

Did you receive the error

Did you receive the error message when you started haldaemon from the Service Configuration window?

Try restarting the haldaemon manually

/etc/init.d/haldaemon restart

As root, invoke ntsysv and enable the haldeamon. Restart your computer and see if it fixes the problem.

not suceeded

got this error message

[root@localhost ~]# /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart
Stopping HAL daemon: [FAILED]
Starting HAL daemon: [FAILED]

i tried with ntsysv

still i get the same error message.. but when i check in that terminal window the haldaemon is already checked (enabled)

Is messagebus service

Is messagebus service running? If not, start the messagebus service and then try to start haldaemon.

With warm regards,
Sudheer

It appears that you did not

It appears that you did not unmount the drive before disconnecting it last time. Restart your computer and report back what happens. Before you unplug the drive make sure you are unmounting it. To unmount the device, right click on the device icon and click Unmount.

With warm regards,
Sudheer
