no if the file has the same name it will override the original

Ah! Thank you.

You just need to click on an driver in the addon -> reboot and you have everything ready.

VDR didn't care and at Tvheadend you need to redo the hardware selection at dvb inputs windows due that the name of the devices have been changed.

Thanks.

Quote from lrusak

don't bother, just copy the file to where it is editable

Code

cp /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/95-udevil-mount.rules /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/

you'll probably want something like

Code

SUBSYSTEM=="block", GOTO="exit"

Putting a copy into /storage would mean, as I understand it, that the original settings will be applied first and then the copy, which would cause the partitions to be mounted and then maybe unmounted again.

Is this not the case?

Thanks for the edit suggestion, I hope to try it soon by editing the file in the squashfs file.

I did some small tests ...... unsquashed the SYSTEM file (to unsquashed directory) and did mksquash on the directory again.

I seem to be missing something as the result from this command

mksquashfs unsquashed  livecd.sqfs  -no-xattrs

was very similar to the original file, except that the original reports

Number of ids 2

and the new file

Number of ids 1

Any ideas?

I think it should be possible to unsquash the SYSTEM file, edit some rule and then mksquash again.
This would work?

I would need to know what options to use for the mksquash command and also what edit to apply to which file ..... maybe
/usr/lib/udev/rules.d/95-udevil-mount.rules ?

If this would work can you (or anyone else) provide the info needed?

Thanks.

Some variant of automount - Disable mount for internal HDDs - Ask Ubuntu should work. In LE you can't edit the embedded rules but if you create a new rule in /storage/.config/udev.rules.d/99-no-internal-drives.rules it will run last and should cancel out the earlier embedded rule as all udev rules in all udev rule files are loaded in sequence and evaluated cumulatively.

Thanks for the response.

That would mount all partitions in the PC during boot, and then unmount them again.

Not what I wanted to achieve ....... internal partitions not touched unless specifically directed by me.

Thanks CvH for the help.

What I tried did not work, so I will wait a little while until the repo settles down and do a fresh install at that time.

I have a query ....... if I install the official TBS drives at some point, but later I want to try the llajves drivers will that be possible using the same DVB-Driver interface or would it need to be done manually?

Thank you and the other devs for your work on LE.

On booting LE all the filesystems in the PC are mounted.

I want to set it so that only the two partitions it needs are mounted.

How is this best achieved?

Explanation: I run LE at present from a LiveUSB stick and plug it into various PCs.
I do not want any of the partitions in the PCs to be touched by LE.

Thank you.

Testing a LiveUSB of LE I found this in the log

I was unable to get anything except an error in Kodi when I selected any of the TBS drivers, and this seems to relate.

What might I have done wrong?

Thanks.

Quote from CvH

system works - "settings Addon works" (also I have to say it is only basic and no eye candy - but works)

Looks great!

I look forward to trying this when available.

Thanks for the great work on TBS.
