Can't mount USB sticks and headset settings

[kagi3624]

Hello, I have two problems with my freeBSD installation. I followed the handbook tutorial about usb automounts and I see the usb appearing on my desktop, but I get an error (picture). Furthermore: how can I setup my headset so, that it is automatically recognized& set up as default when I plug it in and unplug it?

For a USB headset, you can set up a devd rule.

I think i ffed up beyond repair. Is there a guide that I can follow to have my usb devices automounted? the handbook does not mention ntfs at all.

Are you mounting as a regular user? Is fuse loaded? Check with kldstat.

So as I understand I have three options, which one should I choose if I want to automount it an use with xfce? I added me (my user) to the groups wheel and operator. And I steel need extra packages if I want to mount ntfs, right?

Try adding fuse to your kld_list.

"me" should also be a member of video.

You only need sysutils/fusefs-ntfs. Then mount with ntfs-3g.

You need to install package automount which will install sysutils/fusefs-ntfs. Automount of USB is rather easy, not autofs.

Thank you.

I did try that with a fresh installation while using gnome3, it didn't work at all, because of my nvidia card I assume
