You don't need to compile them, you can install the binaries.
Given that I won't be able to use usb devices from gui, is there an
alternative to Thunar that I can use to mount and use my devices? I
have plenty of space in my root directory. Thus, I wouldn't mind using
extra software which would make life easier for me.
I guess there is, but I don't know it. You likely can do it using udev
or something similar, but I never wrote an udev rule myself.
I'm using scripts:
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/sbin/lmount
case $1 in
-r|-w) mkdir -p /mnt/$2
if [ -e "/media/$2" ] ; then :
else
ln -s /mnt/$2 /media/$2
fi
case $1 in
-r) mount -rL$2 /mnt/$2;;
-w) mount -wL$2 /mnt/$2 -o noatime;;
esac ;;
-u) umount "$(blkid -L$2)"
rm /media/$2; rmdir /mnt/$2;;
--help|-h) echo
echo "Usage of /usr/local/sbin/lmount"
echo
echo "mount read-only"
echo " lmount -r <label>"
echo "mount read/write noatime"
echo " lmount -w <label>"
echo "unmount"
echo " lmount -u <label>"
echo ;;
esac
exit
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/sbin/mount.o
mkdir -p /media/optical
chown root:optical /media/optical
mount -t auto /dev/cdrom /media/optical
exit
#!/bin/bash
# /usr/local/sbin/umount.o
umount /dev/cdrom
rmdir /media/optical
exit
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/llmount
exec sudo lmount $*
#!/bin/sh
# /usr/local/bin/tmount
case $1 in
--help|-h) echo
echo "Usage of /usr/local/bin/tmount"
echo
echo "mount read-only"
echo " tmount -r <label>"
echo "mount read/write noatime"
echo " tmount -w <label>"
echo "unmount"
echo " tmount -u <label>"
echo; exit;;
-u) gksudo "lmount $*";;
*) gksudo "lmount $*"; thunar /mnt/$2; gksudo "lmount -u $2";;
esac
exit
No script for USB yet.
I am occasionally using usb devices like external dvd, usb sticks, hard
disks. I will see if I can work with them with just scripts and if I
can't, I will try to find alternative software to Thunar. There are a
few that I found including tuxcommander, emelFM2, and Rodent. But none
of them are in Debian repositories, I will probably compile them from
source...
