Does mounting by hand still fail after a reboot?

here is what happened this time. I have rebooted my system before doing this.


root@ubuntu:/home/phxguy # mount /home/phxguy/Desktop/nvu.cmg /mnt/test -o loop -t cramfs
root@ubuntu:/home/phxguy # /mnt/test/wrapper
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: No protocol specified
(nvu-bin:9904): Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display:

I then did it as non su and issued the following:

phxguy@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /home/phxguy/Desktop/nvu.cmg /mnt/test -o loop -t cramfs
Password: **********
phxguy@ubuntu:~$ /mnt/test/wrapper

and it worked!!! however i then closed nvu and tried to click on the icon and i still got the ¨unable to mount /mnt/app/1 error
Hopes this helps..

Well all I can say is that it sounds like your system can't detect cramfs to mount it automatically. To confirm this repat the working mount above but without using "-t cramfs". The wrapper script expects this to work (and this allows different detectable filesystems to be used).

It would seem like you are correct in that ubuntu is able to figure out the filesystem automatically as stated below:

phxguy@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /home/phxguy/Desktop/nvu.cmg /mnt/test -o loop
Password:
ioctl: LOOP_CLR_FD: Device or resource busy
mount: you must specify the filesystem type

is there anyway to make ubuntu autodetect the filesystem?

It may be easier to edit your fstab to use cramfs. So "/mnt/app/1/image /mnt/app/1 cramfs user,noauto,ro,loop,exec 0 0". I think that everything uses cramfs now, but obviously if things change (or you have existing .cmg files of another format) this problem would come back.
