HAL is not automounting
I have hal in my daemons array in rc.conf and it starts up properly but when I connect a device to my system, HAL does not automount it. what is the problem?

HAL is an Hardware Abstraction Layer. It communicates hardware and kernel events to the applications using D-BUS.
But it does not mount anything for you. The mounting is under your Desktop Environment responsibility. You have to enable the "automount" functionality in the Desktop Environment you use.
As long as I do not know E17 I cannot help you.
Did you search for "E17 automounting" with you favorite web search engine ? In this forum ?
I solved it with autofs, it isn't much elegant but it works to some degree. So i'll make this my goal for the time, i have more free time.

[Solved] [YAKA] Yet Another KDE 3.5.9+hal+ntfs-3g Automount Prob
Ok so the basics
KDE 3.5.9 from kdemod (not the full version): from desktop go to control center -> Desktop -> Behavior -> Device Symbols (3rd Tab) and make sure the box is checked (Checked) --> I got the corresponding Icons On Desktop
CD-ROM/DVD-ROM automounting and autounmounting works like charm, with the icon showing up, and eject command unmount and removes the icon.
extx partitions work great as with reiserf
As root everything works, with ntfs, both on Konqueror and from CLI
But as user I Got the hideous:
TODO: have to rethink extra options
I have installed latest hal, ntfs-3g, dbus

I do not add those hal related policy files, and just uncheck the "mount by user" option. -
Hello, I have a problem. I loggin into KDE or GNOME as a root to secure that I don't have group problems. On the both Desktops, USB storage devices are not automounted for a few days (maybe 1-2 weeks).
Why? What's the matter and how can I solved it? My system is fully up2date.

I have hwd 5.2, all my system is full updated
hal is on my array:

Automounting worked until a few days...
Also kernel detects it, cause I can mount it manually.

[SOLVED] My usb drives will not automount
Hi!
I've installed a basic Arch system using XFCE4.
My USB disks and stick will not automount when I insert them. I have added myself to the usual groups.
Manual mounting works however...
What could be the issue?

Hello, my SunFire 240r Solaris 8 server is not automounting CD's. I have tried manually umount\mount commands wihtout success. I cannot get the system to access CD's at all.
How can I fix this?
Thanks!If mount -F hsfs -o ro /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /cdrom doesn't work then your CD drive may be defective. I'm not sure of your exact cxtx number because I'm familiar with a 220r, 280r, 420r, 480r & D240 media tray but I'm not quite sure what 240r is. Must be something new.

KDE4 / hal no longer automounting usb thumb drives
I have hal and dbus running as services and they were until recently automounting usb storage devices in KDE4. After installing VirtualBox/WinXP it's not working anymore. I did set up a usb device entry in fstab to be used by VirtualBox, but even when I comment out the fstab entry and reboot, hal is no longer automounting.
Any ideas???
thanksYes the drives were formated.
I continued to do some researching on Apple.com and Macworld.com and found out a couple of things. One. There's "Lion Recovery Assistant" and "Lion DiskMaker" or in better terms, one that has a minimal amount of information to connect to Apples servers and download the large install file, and one that is actually bootable. The later is what I wanted. Two. I discovered that the LRDA drives are invisable to the eye unless you use Disk Utility to view them. So basically I was wrong with my statement about Apple's LRDA killing my drives. Sorry.
Now I still can't figure out how to easily make a bootable drive though. The LDM says it automatically searches for the install.dmg file if there is one available. Well it can't find one. I also found out that when you upgrade Lion, which I have to 10.7.4, it automatically deletes the installer. That's conviently unconvient. So now I have to figure out my next step so that I can have a bootable install drive. -
Removable USB drive not automounting in xfce4
Removable USB drives automount in every other window manager I've tried(lxde, gnome, kde). I have thunar-volman installed(not sure what it's for though), and I've went to Applications Menu > Settings > Removable Drives and Media and ticked "Mount removable media when inserted", to no avail.
My .xinitrc file:
#!/bin/sh
# ~/.xinitrc
# Executed by startx (run your window manager from here)
if [ -d /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d ]; then
for f in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/*; do
[ -x "$f" ] && . "$f"
done
unset f
fi
# exec gnome-session
# exec startkde
exec startxfce4
# ...or the Window Manager of your choice
# exec startlxde
Manually mounting the USB drive works however.I have decided to ditch xfce4 and go with KDE, which automounts without any fuss.

I installed solaris x86 on an IBM clone without any problems(first sign of trouble, hehe)
I log in and do not see a cdrom .I killed the vol manager I tried stopping/ starting the vol manager but this did not do anything for it.When I insert a cd, nothing happens.
I need to know where to look to see if it is even recognized by the OS still. And any other suggestions are greatly appreciated.
If I use a different cdrom, and run the kdmconfig, will that make the OS mount my cdrom correctly??
Thank You,

Do not automount firewire or usb disk at startup
Hi
I do have a Xserve with Xraid via (fiber link)
Xraid do have 2 partitions MailStore and FileStore.
I do use external disks (usb/firewire) to do a quick backup,one is called FileStore and the other MailStore.
when mounted OSx mount them as 'FileStore 1' and 'MailStore 1'
I use this for DR since I can just connect the external disks to another system and use them like if they were the 'real ' thing or use the other server as a DR server.
THe problem is:
If the server reboots (for any reason) the external disks will be mounted first if they are present then the Xraid which is no good because the system will be using the wrong disks hence writing the data on the wrong volume.
How can I 'disable' the automount of the external drive.
Or how can I force the mount of the Xraid before the external drive
Regards,
Andrepnahoj, welcome to the forum,
had you updated R&R at some point before you ran the backup? It may be possible that your backup was made with a newer version than the one that is now loaded.
Are you attaching the usb drive before booting or hot plugging it? Ensure it is attached before booting; my experience says this works, hot plugging doesn't.
Thanks

[SOLVED] 'cache-chromium' not automounting...
Hi there,
In my fstab I have en entry which sets Chromium's cache to be mounted in my RAM instead of in my SSD -
# /etc/fstab: static file system information
# <file system> <dir> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs nodev,nosuid,noatime,size=512m 0 0
cache-chromium /home/tom/.cache/chromium tmpfs defaults,noatime,mode=1777,size=512m 0 0
UUID=366ab804-d6e5-4bd3-bb14-884c1ab7ad28 /boot ext2 defaults,noatime 0 2
UUID=97e30b83-03a4-4520-9d98-d45b70d0096d /home ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 2
UUID=db565351-ab5b-4f50-bb41-77e79757132f / ext4 defaults,noatime,discard 0 1
However during boot I get a 'FAIL' for the 'Mounting local filesystems' stage and df -h does indeed show that it hasn't been mounted, but upon executing 'sudo mount -a' it will mount error-free.
Could anyone shed some light on why it isn't mounting automatically at boot time?
Thank a lot!
Last edited by Spudgun (2011-08-31 09:12:45)Thanks for the speedy reply!
I tried your first option and that also failed to mount during boot. Could it be that the booting process doesn't like mounting more than one tmpfs..?
For the second option, how do I go about setting that variable? -
HAL not updating change in properties
Hi John,
When we tried to push members changing their property HAL is not updating the changed property in hyperion
Ex-- If i have member Account with TB LAst as its property in the source and using HAL we pushed this member to Hyperion. Now i changed the property from TB Last to None in the source and used HAl to push the member. But it is still showing TB last in the hierarchy.
Please suggest
Thanks,
SravanWhich HAL adapter are you using, Essbase or Planning? Where are you looking for the updated property, in Essbase or Planning?
If you're not already, what you should be doing is use the Planning adapter to update the property in Planning, and then refresh Essbase from Planning. When you've done those two things, and assuming there haven't been any errors in the HAL integration, you should see the updated property in both Essbase and Planning.
Of course, you have to run the HAL integration as a user with sufficient privileges in the Planning application to make metadata changes. -
HAL 0.5.8.1-1+kernel 2.16.8=broken automount?
Gnome doesn' t know how to auto mount my removeral usb disk after update, only manual mount works.
Is there anyone meeting the same? Could someone give me a clue, thanks in advance.JGC wrote:error messages? "Doesn't work" is something we can't fix.
I'm seeing the same thing JGC, though Gnome behaved the same way for me prior to the last update (i.e. USB drives are not automounted). But it doesn't throw any errors unless there is a log file that might be helpful to you.
If I mount the USB drive manually, it works perfectly. The drive mounts, the icon displays on the desktop, and a Nautilus window opens showing the drives contents.
I have another system running PCLinuxOS and the older Gnome version in it automounts the same USB drive fine. It seems like the preference setting to mount removable drives when hot-plugged is not being honored by Gnome on my Arch box (see the 'Storage' tab for the Removable Drives and Media preferences found at Desktop>Preferences>Removable Drives and Media).
Gnome 2.10 in PCLinuxOS has the same type of preferences setting as Gnome 2.14 on my Arch box. However, when I look at the fstab in PCLinuxOS with the USB drive plugged in and compare it to the Arch fstab when the USB drive is plugged in there is a difference. The fstab in PCLinuxOS is being dynamically written to with the following when the USB drive is plugged in and has automounted:
/dev/sdd1 /mnt/UDISK_20X vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,noatime,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0
When the USB drive is unplugged this line does not exist in the PCLinuxOS fstab. When the USB drive is plugged into the Arch box, the fstab never changes. Even when I manually mount the USB drive.
Another difference is the following code *always* exisits in the PCLinuxOS fstab and not in the fstab on my Arch box:
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
I don't know what these 2 lines tell PCLinuxOS to do or if it is even related to the issue at hand. Could be just differences comparing the older base system of PCLinuxOS to the very up-to-date Arch.
I'm planning on removing PCLinuxOS off my main workstation this weekend and installing Arch. It would be nice to know an answer to this odd behavior with Gnome & USB drives, but not a show stopper. Arch is sooooo much nicer!

hal will not start, it's in my daemons to start automaticaly but it isnt. And it won't start manualy either. I had a kernel update to day when I ran pacman -Syu...perhaps this is the culprit? I rebooted and when I came back my SD cards or camera wouldnt read. So I checked dbus, which is fine...but when I try to 'restart' or 'start' hal...it says fail. Does anyone know what might be the problem?
actually my hal wont start up either: here is my output from the command posted above:
