Hi guys newbie in need of help, after the latest 157mb of updates i have made on fedora 12 i cant mount any media (CD/DVD/USB etc). I keep getting this error "Failed to execute child process "gnome-mount" (No such file or directory)" can some one explain this to me.

Check if you have it: rpm -qi gnome-mount
If you haven't, then use yum to install it. If you have, it may have had an accident: try un-installing and then re-installing.

[root@localhost rgbrites]# yum install gnome-mount
Loaded plugins: dellsysidplugin2, refresh-packagekit
Setting up Install Process
No package gnome-mount available.
Nothing to do

Did i do anything wrong or is just Fedora 12 a system that everyone seems to complaint about. Maybe is just me, since Fedora 10 nothing seems to work...

A quick check at the Fedora site shows gnome-mount has been dropped! Why something else is trying to use it is beyond me, I'm sorry to say. Apart from finding help from someone more expert (if no-one's answering here, try at linuxquestions), the only thing I can think of is to try installing gnome-mount from the F11 repo.

So is the functionality from gnome-mount supposed to have been replaced? If so, why are things (e.g. CDs/DVDs) not automounting when inserted?

Edit: maybe it's only some discs in my case...just popped in an Ubuntu install disc and it gets mounted.

Edit 2: I guess it was just that I had only tried one disc, which doesn't want to be mounted (still not sure why), but others seem to automount with no complaint.

Same problems here. First time using Fedora but been using Linux a while now. Backup dvd was fine to begin with but 2nd one wouldn't automount. Tried first one again and now that one won't mount??!

Just checked a Linux Format dvd and that mounted fine...

USB is fine... Just some DVD's that were burnt using k3b on Debian lenny having problems. Any ideas?

Cheers,
Grepnix

EDIT: Mounting via terminal works fine.

Well, it's strange. The automount problem hit me too, suddenly. I used to be able to mount optical media w/o problem, now no optical media automounts anymore. But e.g. USB stick automounts normally.

EDIT: Latest udev (145-20) seems to have fixed the problem.
