Monitoring connection or disconnection of removable storage using Gio::VolumeMonitor

[Mohith Manoj <mohith manoj skanray com>]

Hi,

I need to detect when a removable storage device is connected, mounted, un-mounted and disconnected. Gio::VolumeMonitor appeared to be the right one, only that I am not able to receive any signal. This is what I had tried.

Glib::RefPtr<Gio::VolumeMonitor> refVolumeMonitor = Gio::VolumeMonitor::get();

refVolumeMonitor->signal_drive_changed().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_drive_connected().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_drive_disconnected().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_mount_added().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_mount_changed().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_mount_removed().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_volume_added().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_volume_changed().connect(<the_slot>);
refVolumeMonitor->signal_volume_removed().connect(<the_slot>);

The <the_slot> never gets called even when I connect, mount, un-mount or disconnect a USB thumb-drive.
