How to Mount Drives in Arch Linux & Why You Should Let Udiskie Do It For You // 25 Days of Linux

[@KateYagi]

Wow I wish I knew about udiskie back when I first started using linux. Especially back in highschool, fumbling around in with my laptop trying to load a presentation I made onto a USB during class.

[@meowcula]

brilliant! I was just thinking I needed to look for something like this. EDIT: I use manjaro on one of my machines, and realize udiskie came with it. I've been using it for months and not known lol. Thanks for your vids.

[@zakiyo6109]

Wow! Great video thanks

Xfce4 and thunar on arch needs gvfs to see drives.

[@makc]

I think it’s installed as a dependency when you install either though?

[@boreuborea9368]

How to do this in arch with kde desktop ?

[@TheLinuxCast]

Okay, for your mount script, how do you get around that needing sudo when you login? Does it ask for your password? I'm sure I'm being dumb, but I've never even thought of doing this before.

[@makc]

At least with awesome, it runs the scripts as sudo (or some equivalent). I’ve run multiple scripts that require sudo, and awesome manages it every time

[@ritchielrez1680]

I think it depends on the windows manager, using a polkit should be the cross-platform way iirc.

[@user5c88ad15]

what WM/DE are you using? I'm kinda new to arch and I am getting a little bored of i3

[@makc]

I use awesome and bspwm usually

[@kendarr]

How do I make this permanent?, I'm new to arch and have various disks connected, I imagine that running this on my I3 config as sudo would not work since I3 dosen't run as sudo?

[@kendarr]

Hey me from the past, use the fstab approach.

[@kendarr]

@@tatertotbot xD, belive it or not, I had to check this very comment a while back

[@jigarsuthar9966]

What file manager is that?

[@makc]

Either ranger or thunar
