For some reasons I had to disable USB drive automounting using Automount configuration utility. Now I can not enable USB drive automounting at all using this utility. It does not save settings.

someone has modified the app with extra labels. unfortunately, whoever modified the app did not redo the variable parsing, so the app is hopelessly broken. those"FALSE" lines in the app launch lines aren't supposed to be there either.

I'm doing an update on my antiX machine now to see what the changes are in the code (I'm embarrased by how little I actually dist-upgrade that machine). shouldn't be too bad to fix, but it ain't gonna work the way it is right now.

luckily, in the meantime, you can edit ~/.desktop-session/automount.conf manually, then follow the instructions inside the .conf file to re-enable the automount behaviors.

here's a copy of the default automount.conf settings

Code: Select all

automount=TRUE
fm_usb=TRUE
fm_optical=TRUE
vp_dvd=FALSE
mp_audio=FALSE
dvd_command=
audio_command=

Rademes, I apologize for the aggravation.
Trying to help, but new at using git tools, I committed an unfinished WIP version in my git pull request.

I see that anticapitalista has already fixed it and has released an updated"automount-antix" package.
Performing an apt update update operation will retrieve the fixed automount tool.
