[EN] Automount of hard disk in kf5

[Mte90]

In kde4 there was a panel to configure that, in kde5 this panel not exist but the old is avaiable but not work.
I read that now is not required because is systemd that auto mount the hard drive but actually I don't find any info for that.
There is a way for auto mount of hard disk?

From what you are speaking about?
Internal drives?
External drives?

[Mte90]

I am talking about external drive.

[Mte90]

any help?
I don't want to edit fstab for that...

Does the device manager widget not offer to mount it when you plug in the drive?

[Mte90]

yes but i want the the devices are automounted on connecting on the pc.

I am not an expert on udev rules, but that sounds like something that could be handled by a custom udev rule.

I am also waiting for this to appear!

in KDE4 you could do this in systemsettings, in plasma 5 it is still not possible as far as I know (from systemsettings gui), so maybe a udevrule ist right!

on my second computer in my USB-mounts it shows to internal harddrives (2 out of 6???), very strange too :-)

[Mte90]

any news? a script?

This works but I see that on a new update of KDE that configuration is removed...

I'm on Netrunner 17 ATM and when I plug in my USB Backup HD it is automounted? I plug it in and can go to the corresponding folder in /media/<username>/ and all data is shown without mounting. I can call "kcmshell5 device_automounter_kcm" to show the options for automounting removable media. The file device_automounter_kcm is in package plasma-desktop-data which here is installed in version 5.5.3.

Sid only has Plasma 5.4.3, so for Debian you'd need 5.5.4 from experimental: https://packages.debian.org/experimental/all/plasma-desktop-data/filelist
