Hal cd automounting problem

hi,
im having a bit of a problem with hal! it finds flash pens & my sony ericsson phone fine, and puts them on the right hand side of pcmanfm in the location box, but cd's arent!
if i open konqueror and goto media:/ my cd is listed there ready to mount, but i cant access media:/ through pcmanfm!
how can i get hal to do the same with cd's as it does with flash pens & my phone??
thanks.

You don't need HAL to do that. Just make sure your /etc/fstab is correct, f.e.:
/dev/sr0 /media/disc auto user,exec,noauto,comment=managed 0 0

Wmii + dbus/hal and automount of usb driver/memory card

Laptop is UL30A. One question. Will USB be automounted when I'm in wmii, or will this just work in gnome?

Hi!
I have one tiny question!
I'm about to make standalone Openbox desktop.
For FM I will use PCmanFM and I've found out that it does automounting job.
So the question is do I need volume manager such as skvm or udev rule or everything will work only with proper HAL policy and PCmanFM?
Thanks in advance

(SOLVED) hal and automounting

Hallo. I am e newbie of Arch. Two months ago I installed Arch on pc without problem and with a very few customisation. I tryed to do the same with my laptop. Installation with the last set was found on web was ok, but now ... I am unable to see hotplugged usb pen drives, external usb disk, internal partition. I can mount them manually by fstab edit or just console, but I see them as folder :-(
What seems strange to me is that on Arch pc all is right, and I can see the drives in dolphin even if not mounted.

Really sorry ... The laptop is HP Pav dv2000 series, the PC is HP too. The desktop environment for both is KDE4 from extra repo. I made just a bit of manually setting ... rc.conf and lcd-font. It' s a really clean standard installation following the cd menu.
OK. SOLVED !!!
Removed and reinstalled udev. Strange that pacman -Suy didn't see the new version ...

Hal not automounting and ejecting in kdemod

Hi,
I did a fresh install of Arch and kdemod and it seems that hal doesnt automount devices.I cant even eject usb devices. I am part of the storage and optical group but it still doesnt work.I tried ivamn and then automountig works properly but then i cant eject "Safely remove."= What should I do to fix this?

[SOLVED] xfce4 automounting problem on usb dev with utf8 encoded files

I have problem of auto mounting usb external drive contains utf8 encoded files under xfce4.
Using hal and dbus for usb device detection.
Heard that I need to add iocharset=utf8 under fstab or hal fdi configure files and tried them all but didn't work
usb devices with vfat always got mounted with default charset.
I found out that exo-mount is the one doing the actual mounting and that it is the one that cannot take all extra mounting options such as iocharset etc.
Have tried gnome to mount this hard drive and works find with nautilus option that let me set various mount options for each harddrive.
Is there any way to replace exo-mount with some other alternative mounting tools that work with thunar?
Any workaround will be helpful as long as I can mount my usb drives with prefer charset so that I don't have to guess all ???marked files.
Heard that xubuntu replaced that exo-mount with gnome-mount to handle drives with extra mount options such as iocharset.
but I am pretty new to configuring things and couldn't find the step by step instruction for this so please provide the complete solution.
Link to the pages that explain workaround would be nice as well.
Thanks in advance!

Found the patch for exo-mount so that it takes additional mount options HAL suggests.
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/attachmen … ction=diff
Now my usb drive can be mounted with the proper charset.
Hope this patch helps others with similar situation as well!

Gnome HAL and GVM

Hi,
Im still struggeling to get Gnome-Volume-Manager working.
Since the last upgrade of HAL and GVM every hardware i have tried has been recognized. :-)
I still however cant get the automont to work.
The device gets recognized and HAL creates the devices.
fstab-sync kicks in and creates nice entries in fstab and creates directories under /media
But the actual mount does not work. Automount does not work. When trying to mount the device as myself i get:
mount: only root can mount /dev/sda1 on /media/usbdisk
and when trying as root:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda1,
or too many mounted file systems
When looking into /var/log/kernel
FAT: Unrecognized mount option "pamconsole" or missing value
What is this "pamconsole" stuff? Its in the corresponding line in my fstab.
Seems like either im missing some package or a badly configured one?

alexthelion wrote:in /usr/share/hal/fdi/90defaultpolicy/storage-policy.fdi you can disable that pamconsole thing. And you can change /media to /mnt, if you want.
I have noticed that one. But if i understand things correctly. You should not change anything in that file but instead add files in the hal/fdi/95userpolicy instead.
To be honest, I'm a little bit confused about all those new hardware things. udev, hal, dbus, g-v-m. it's not easy to understand which component does what.
For example: if I plug in a USB Mass storage, then hald emits some message via dbus, right? But it seems that hald is also directly calling fstab-sync. So what is g-v-m doing in this scenario? Obviously not the mounting part, or what?
My understanding is this. (Please correct me if im wrong)
UDEV is a userspace replacement for devfs and is responsible for creating the device files in /dev
HAL is a hardware abstraction layer that listens to hotplug and keeps an inventory of the hardware on your machine. HAL also uses dbus the new message bus to notify anyone about changes etc.
Then there are two important listeners for these events.
fstab-sync which listens to added and removed devices. And creates/alters the files in /media and the /etc/fstab file.
Finaly we have GVM, which also listens to these events, and does the actual mounting.
I think that there is something wrong with the util-linux package. util-linux contains among other things the mount command. And it seems like it is mount who does not understand the pamconsole stuff.

HAL and Planning 9.3.3

Hi there
We are upgrading from Planning 9.3.1 to 9.3.3 and are using HAL. We load a few different structures now and then, and I would like to know if anyone have had problems using HAL and Planning 9.3.3. HAL will off course be phased out after we upgrade to version 11 - but we would like to hold on to HAL for now, as we probably will use the Outlineloader, when we switch to version 11.
Regards, Jacob

Hi Subbu,
I posted how to load dimensions into planning from sql server in my blog.
http://dornakal.blogspot.com/2009/02/load-dimension-members-into-planning.html
after developing this you have to create an executible file to run HAL job.
you can call the executible file from batch file and can schedule batch file.
hope this helps.

Hal and powersaved

i have no idea where to put this :}
so that's was my problem.
i add to daemons in /etc/rc.conf hal and powersaved to start at boot. but when my computer try to boot, hal try to start 2x. once with powersaved and next time alone :} in daemons it was first powersaved and after that hal.
powersaved has a line in that check if hal is already started, but hal it self hasn't.
so when powersaved detect that there no hal is started it started it. and then hal try to start it and sometimes it stop loading hal, sometimes fail to start.
it'll be good to add some lines of code to hal that check's if hal isn't already started.
that is in /etc/rc.d/powersaved ck_daemon hal && /etc/rc.d/hal start

and this is why we need init-script dependency checking

Hal and Xfe

Hi, i'm experiencing a problem with hal and xfe. I've installed xfe and hal (in a second time) and then i've configured my system to have hal and dbus running at boot time checking the wiki to be sure of not making mistakes.
I'm quite sure that xfe has hal support so i'm wondering why i can't see my usb pen automatically mounted under the directory /media/**** as i would have if i used thunar for example.
Has it something tho do with the dismissed file preferences.fdi that i've not written and put in /usr/share/xfe/policy ?
Thanks a lot

As I do not have a robot to remove the disc once it is ejected, I am already required to do this manually, thus there is only minimal additional movement involved in pressing this button. Besides, if I had a robot to remove the disc, I would expect to be able to program it to press the button itself.

[PPC] Trouble installing HAL and Xorg

Newbie to the "Arch" way of Linux, but not to Linux itself. I can compile from Source in my sleep. However, I'm very confused about what's going on.
Installed the core of Archlinux on a G4 PPC tower with the 2009 iso, and am now looking to finish installing everything to get to a GUI Desktop Environment.
Want to install xfrc4, but found that HAL and D Bus were not installed, so I ran this command:
pacman -S hal dbus
It pulled down both packages well enough. it installed dbus 100%, but apparently there is a problem with HAL. It's not only missing from /etc/rc.d/, it's never responded to "/etc/rc.d/hal start. I've added it to the DAEMONS section of rc.conf.
Not sure where HAL went or if it ever was there even as a downloaded package. At the point of HAL's install when a list of directories runs down the screen, each one listed itself as already existing. pacman -S hal added a whole list of packages to be installed with it.
Anyhow, I'm extremely new to the pacman system and really no idea even after reading the manpage what I might be doing wrong. Hope I've given enough information to help and haven't caused the level on confusion that I have about this.

will look up another mirror.
all was done as root

[solved] power management without HAL and pm-utils

hi guys! i got rid of hal and pm-utils, but i'm having some troubles now with the powersaving settings.
i'm using hibernate-script with uswsusp tools to hibernate etc, and laptop-mode-tools with acpi for the power management, but this looks like it isnt working anymore.
for example the screen backlight wont shut down anymore when i close the lid, despite the acpi action scripts are all ok.
far more importantly the cpu fan doen't ever start!! earlier this morning the cpu hit 77°C (while it's normally 40°) but the fan didn't kick in!
what can i do?
EDIT:
wait, maybe it's just the new kernel i've installed this morning! it's some days now that i've uninstalled hal and i think i would have noticed before!
Last edited by v43 (2011-02-23 11:25:10)

disabling laptop-mode-tools temporarily solved the problem. i mean the fan is now spinning free ^^
i'll try reinstalling it or downgrading the kernel later

[SOLVED]hal and network not running on boot

My hal and network are not running on boot. I have to manually start them once I login. I have put them as Daemons in rc.conf and it still does not seem to help.
Thanks!
Last edited by Eman2005 (2010-02-06 00:42:29)

I figured out what was wrong, the D in Daemons for the rc.conf file was a lowercase d for whatever reason. But now I have a bigger problem, I seem to have lost the files for my sound card. I used to have the soundcard listed in alsamixer. Now it is not there. when I do a
$ cat /proc/asound/cards
it is not listed, although it used to. however I can still
modprobe snd-emu10k1
It is the Creative Labs SB Live! EMU10k1 I have tried to reinstall alsa. I reinstalled alsa-utils and alsa-oss, but I am not sure how to uninstall alsa-lib because of dependencies. PLEASE HELP.

I am not able to launch FF everytime i try to open it, it says FF has to submit a crash report,and restore yr tabs. I even tried doing that and the report was submitted too, but still FF did not start, and the problem still persists, please help me solve this issue
'''(in English)'''

Hi Danny,
Per my understanding that you can't get the expect result by using the expression "=Count(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4) " to count the the TICKET_STATUS which value is 4, the result will returns the count of all the TICKET_STATUS values(206)
but not 180, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by you are using the count() function in the incorrect way, please modify the expression as below and have a test:
=COUNT(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS.Value=4 ,1,Nothing))
or
=SUM(IIF(Fields!TICKET_STATUS=4,1,0))
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

BOSD, Battery issues and Heating problem after iOS 8 upgrade

i have upgraded my iPad mini to iOS 8. Ever since I upgraded to iOS 8 am facing blue screen issues and heating problem as well. This is really frustrating even the patch iOS 8.0.2 dint solve the problem. Are you guys listening our complaints. When will you fixing it.

The same thing happened to me on my 2012 Subaru Outback. I'm not sure this will help you since you have a Honda, but I'm posting this just in case.
I paired the audio on my car with my iPhone 6. However, when I turned the car off and back on again, the iPhone would not pair automatically. I had to manually connect the iPhone with the car. Turns out there are two separate bluetooth pairings on my car: one for phone which allows up to 5 devices and one for audio which allows only one device. So I did the second bluetooth pairing for the phone (had already done the audio), and that fixed it. YMMV
