Nothing new at all - confirmed by tail -f. 'messages' shows Mar 12 11:44:23 david automount[2529]: create_udp_client: hostname lookup failed: No such process Mar 12 11:44:23 david automount[2529]: create_tcp_client: hostname lookup failed: No such process Mar 12 11:44:23 david automount[2529]: lookup_mount: exports lookup failed for .directory Mar 12 11:44:40 david automount[2529]: create_udp_client: hostname lookup failed: No such process Mar 12 11:44:40 david automount[2529]: create_tcp_client: hostname lookup failed: No such process Mar 12 11:44:40 david automount[2529]: lookup_mount: exports lookup failed for .directory which seems to tie in with the timestamp. Nothing in either addressing /dev/hdd or anything else recognisably connected. Procedure may be relevant: I start xine and insert disk. I wait for automount to offer options and select 'Do nothing'. Only after that do I hit the DVD button in xine. I have noticed that the xine screen header shows the 'no mrl' message long before I get to that - in fact it appears to be immediate. Does this suggest anything? Anne Anne
