Can a USB Device link appear on Desktop when mounted?

[Aere Greenway]

All:

I think the problem being referred-to here, is when the USB device is
already plugged-in when the system is booted.  

Of course, you could un-plug it, and re-plug it in, but I am very
apprehensive about unplugging USB mass storage devices without being
absolutely sure it isn't mounted.

Sorry, I did not fully read...


1. Plug in USB device
2. Allow PCManFM to mount it.
3. The device will appear on the PCManFM listing on the panel to the
left.


the USB will be mounted at..


/media 


under the user name.


e.g. I'm phillw, and my USB (DANE-ELEC) device can be found via: 


cd /media


followed by 


phillw at piglet:/media$ ls


which will give the listing as per below (it will be your user name)


cdrom  phillw


You can then cd into your user name area...


phillw at piglet:/media/phillw$ ls -l
total 20
drwx------ 14 phillw phillw 20480 Jan  1  1970 DANE-ELEC


at which point you will see the name of your USB (DANE-ELEC) in my case.


Hope that helps.


Regards,


Phill.

        Indeed,
        
        
        
        when a USB device is plugged in, a window will appear to ask if
        you want it mounting via 'File Manager'. Just accept the top
        option and the device will appear on PCManFM in the left hand
        pane.

                not sure about automount to the desktop but it should
                appear in the
                left hand column of pcmanfm (when you open any folder)
                it should be
                listed there, you shouldn't have to manually go
                to /media
