Well I got the problem.
The problem was that environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH wasn't set.
And what's worse is that pup-volume-monitor uses LD_LIBRARY_PATH to search for its plugins. That means the cdrom plugin simply wasn't loaded!
The fix is simple then. Just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

Optical drives are detected by iterating over each device in /sys/block, testing each device whether it's an optical drive.
How do you do the test?
The mechanism is translated from /lib/udev/rules.d/50-udev-default.rules.
Code: Select all
# cdrom
SUBSYSTEM=="block", KERNEL=="sr[0-9]*", SYMLINK+="scd%n", GROUP="cdrom"
SUBSYSTEM=="scsi_generic", SUBSYSTEMS=="scsi", ATTRS{type}=="4|5", GROUP="cdrom"
KERNEL=="pktcdvd[0-9]*", GROUP="cdrom"
KERNEL=="pktcdvd", GROUP="cdrom"
Code: Select all
gboolean pup_drive_test_optical(struct udev_device *dev)
{
gboolean result = FALSE;
if (strstr(udev_device_get_sysname(dev), "sr")
|| strstr(udev_device_get_sysname(dev), "pktcdvd"))
result = TRUE;
if (!result)
{
const gchar *type = udev_device_get_sysattr_value(dev, "device/type");
if (type)
{
if ((type[0] == '4') || (type[0] == '5'))
result = TRUE;
}
}
return result;
}

I hope now pup-volume-monitor is stable enough to move it to additional software section?

I quickly wrote an implementation for desktop drive icons for desktops that do not support them. It uses GIO.
It can be configured to stick to a corner of the screen, align icons vertically, change font colors, etc. Settings take effect immediately.
Icons look like rox-filer icons for a while, till you move mouse pointer over it.
Could anyone package this, I myself am running out of time. My school will be reopening next week and I have to rush through my holiday hw for summer vacations before that.

this is very nice drive icon. the labels are very helpful because i prefer look at the label than sda3 or sda4 like that. can anyone compile that in lupu, dpup, or slacko? i tried to compile myself but didn't result anything.
but nothing happened.
thank you.

Hello
!
I must be a bit on the daft side
However I compile and run it, I get
Code: Select all
# desktop_drive_icons
** Message: Config file not found
^C
#
Where should I put the what-named config file - and what should the contents be?
Cheers /MHHP

You don't need to worry about it at all. Desktop-drivre-icons will automatically generate it when you change a setting.
