coding style

Hi everyone!

   The only documentation one can find about the gnome coding style
though google is here:

http://developer.gnome.org/doc/guides/programming-guidelines/code-style.html

   according to which:

" Read the (Standards)Writing C info node in the GNU documentation.
Then, get the Linux kernel sources and read the file
linux/Documentation/CodingStyle, and ignore Linus's jokes. These two
documents will give you a good idea of what we recommend for GNOME
code."

  as if these styles resemble each other in any way. This just
confuses a newbie.

"For core GNOME code we prefer the Linux kernel indentation style. Use
8-space tabs for indentation."

   Looking at the gtk+ source code, it doesn't at all seem to follow
that and if gtk+ is not "core GNOME code" then what is?

gnome-volume-manager doubt

Hi.

First of all, i would like to say that I don't know if this is the
right place for this question. As I couldn't find a more specific
list, I am sending this question here. I am wondering if you could
help or point someone that can.

I work for a company, and here we use a diskless environment (network
boot). People who work here have different levels of computational
knowledge. Some people don't use X, and others are people who use
windows at their home computers.

We use Debian 4.0, and I installed gnome-volume-manager in order to
use pen drives automount. Gnome-volume-manager doesn't require that we
put the mountpoints entries in etc/fstab; But, if I don't put the
entries in fstab the user that don't use X, won't  be able to mount
pendrives without root privilegies. If I put the entries in fstab, gvm
mount the pendrive, but I can't unmount them by clicking on the
unmount option in the context menu. That occurs because i have
something like this on fstab:

/dev/sda1       /mnt/pensda1 auto        noauto,users,umask=000     0       0

When I insert the pendrive, /dev/sda1 is registred on mtab. When I try
to unmount by clicking on the unmount option I get this error:

"umount: /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 is not mounted
(according to mtab)"

Re: gnome-volume-manager doubt

If you're not using X and GNOME, you won't be able to use g-v-m, as g- 
v-m is a session service (I don't know why either). You can still use  
pmount, though, I think.

Re: gnome-volume-manager doubt

Hi, I am not sure if you understood what my problem is.

As we use diskless, the boot is from the network. There is only one
fstab config files for all machines. I need to list the pendrive on
it, so that people who don't use X, can mount ir manually.

I want that gvm allows me to umount (using the context menu) even when
the pendrive is listed on fstab.

Tanks

You shouldn't need to list the pendrive in fstab - hal and g-v-m for  
GNOME users (or pmount for non-GNOME users) should do everything you  
need it to without using fstab static configuration.

Sorry if I'm still missing your point.
