automount drives in OPENBOX

Post by sickley »

Hello, started using LMD earlier this month and am using openbox session. I have everything working well for the most part.

The issue I'm currently dealing with is auto-mount (or lack there of) of (ntfs) harddrives in an openbox session. When I goto open them some will mount and some will give me an authentication error without giving me the chance to even use gksudo to authorize the mount (regardless of the application, including nautilus). If i open a gnome session it lets me put my password to authorize the mount. I'm guessing it is an issue with a service that starts with gnome that i need to add to my openbox autostart.sh.

thanks for any help anyone can give!

also a side note, if I go into a gnome session and mount the drive, logout, and login to a openbox session it will still be mounted correctly.
