So, can somebody please explain to me how to get the following to
work as
non-root user:
1) insert CD
2) find CD mounted somewhere (eg /media/cdrom)
3) browse the directory with konqueror
4) press the eject button on the drive
5) get the CD back a couple of seconds later
6) possibly have the Konqueror window close automatically, or react in some
way (that's not really important; after all, I know the directory is not
accessible any more)
with gnome-device-manager (under KDE) the mounting seemed to work fine, but it
did not unmount (I had to do it manually as root)
The steps listed above are exactly what I do anytime I need to access
something on CD.
In /etc/auto.master, I put this:
/media /etc/auto.misc --timeout=10
In /etc/auto.misc, I put this:
cd -fstype=iso9660,ro,nosuid,nodev :/dev/cdrom
As root, I turned on autofs: # service autofs start
And now anytime I need to use a CD, I put it in and I can browse its
contents at /media/cd.
When I'm done, I push the button on the CD drive and it pops out.
I don't use KDE so I can't help you with having Konqueror close
automatically at unmount time.
