Hey All,

My ipod is automounted differently each time using Kubuntu 14.04. It's always mounted in /tmp, but as ipod<random 6 digit string>. This seems very odd to me. Anyway, I want to mount it consistently as /media/<username>/ipod. I have googled for a while, but can't find anyone with the same issue. Nor can I find where this automounting name and location can be controlled. Also I'd like it to show up in the device notifier which currently doesn't.

Thanks In Advance,

OK, I got more information on how this works. Apparently, udev and it's associated rules are what's controlling what happens when my ipod is plugged in. But after reading /lib/udev/rules.d/90-libgpod.rules which has as the first rule:

ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="block", ENV{ID_FS_USAGE}=="filesystem", ENV{DEVTYPE}=="partition", ATTRS{idVendor}=="05ac", ENV{ID_MODEL}=="iPod", IMPORT{program}="/lib/udev/ipod-set-info $tempnode $attr{busnum} $attr{devnum}", GOTO="libgpod_end"

This seems to gather some info about the ipod then calls /lib/udev/ipod-set-info to do the actual work of mounting the ipod. So I think I need to write a new rule (that starts with a higher number than 90 if I understand udev rules) to mount my ipod to the /media directory and use the UUID of the ipod.

To answer my own question. The information in this link looks good for what I want:

I still don't understand why something like this isn't default behavior in Kubuntu.
