Pmount-hal error

HI all,
My usb keydrive is not automounting with gnome-volume-manager, Im getting the following error when running gnome-volume-manager from a shell:
lock_dir(): creat: No such file or directory
Error: could not lock the mount directory. Another pmount is probably running for this mount point.
I get this error running it as root or as user, so its not permissions...
There is definately no other pmount running (killall pmount?)
The /media/usbdisk directory exists (gnome-volume-manager/pmount-hal actually created the dir).
I can manually mount it from the shell as root (since no fstab entry is created now).
This is on a fresh install with gnome 2.12.2.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Nevermind, I redid the installation from scratch again and its working fine now...strange...
Edit: If I add it to fstab, i works fine as user. So there is clearly a pmount-hal issue going on here...can anyone confirm this behaviour??

I've just noticed I have the same problem.
EDIT: I've just found it's because pmount is trying to create the lock file in /var/lock. Just create the /var/lock dir and make it writeable for users.
mkdir /var/lock && chown root.users /var/lock && chmod g+w /var/lock
Someone file a bug report, I'm to lazy
This dir should come with the pmount pkg.
I had the same pmount problem and this advice saved me! I wonder how you figured it out. thanks!

HAL Error :Exception raised: com.oberon.runtime.OverflowException: Type Mis

Hi All,
Can some please help me to get out of this HAL error .
I was facing the below error from HAL routine .
In bound routine failed at 3/12/2009. Exception raised: com.oberon.runtime.OverflowException: Type Mismatch: Overflow
Thanks in advance
Edited by: Hyp on Dec 30, 2009 3:44 PM

I am not sure this will help in any way, but type mismatch and overflow mean the following:
Overflow: Too many characters. In other words the process could have expected "+" but instead was "something, something, something, dark side"
Type mismatch: seen quite often in relational databases, and VBA (also java) where you are expecting a 'number' and instead receive a 'string'. so for example it expected 123456, and received "Account 123456" or something along those lines.

HAL Error - Thunar-volman / USB Hard Drive

On my last arch setup, I installed hal,gamin, thunar and thunar-volman. I could then plug in my usb HD and when U turned it on it would mount. I could then read and write to it as a user. This time when I installed the same programs, added hal to my rc.conf, added my user to groups storage and optical, and plug in my drive, I get an error that says
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal").

If I plug the drive in and do a su -c 'mount /dev/sdc1 /home/justin/backup' it mounts fine to /home/justin/backup
I dont know if I am in the wrong group or I need to add the drive to my /etc/fstab . I googled the error, and it seems to give me a bunch of hits, but all relating to cdroms and kde bugs. I tried to post any relevant commands I could think of, if their is anything else needed, please let me know. Thanks, Justin

device descriptor read/64, error -110
I just got that same error message (but not some of the others you have) after a system update to kernel 3.4.3-1-ARCH. This happens for me when using a (slow) USB drive... but only under a heavy read/write load. I'd never had this problem before using the same applications and hardware.
So I poked around in the kernel source code. That message occurs when the kernel tries to send a Control Message to a USB device, but the operation times out. But... you can change the timeout value.
If you do a "modinfo usbcore", you'll see that one it's parameters is "initial_descriptor_timeout" and it defaults to 5000 milliseconds (5 seconds)... which is forever in the kernel world, but like I said, I've got a slow USB flash drive... and there's a comment in the code that one particular device needs a 10 second timeout.
So I'm going to try a larger value.
You can change it temporarily by entering "echo -n {some-value} > /sys/module/usbcore/parameters/initial_descriptor_timeout" with root authority.
Or permanently, in a file in the /etc/modprobe.d directory and put an "options" line in it... see "man modprobe.d".

HAL errors when executing a runtime process (windows .exe) outside Vignette

Hi,
I have a flow diagram where I load data form txt source into Hyperion Performance Scorecard Adapter.
I built an exe in order to run the activity in a computer without HAL.
When I execute my exe file from HAL it is working, but then when I try to execute it from outside it is not working. I'm getting this errors:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no prtjt42 java.library.path
at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadLibrary <Unknown source>

Any idea? Do I have to put anything in CLASSPATH and PATH??
Thank you

Hi John,
I didn't do it because I read this in the HAL user guide:
For Windows runtime targets, select the Copy needed VBIS DLLs option to
copy all required runtime DLLs to the directory where the adapter process
files will be created. Use the option only if all of the following three
conditions are true:
• The adapter process will only run locally
• The adapter process will reside in a location other than your VBIS bin
directory
• The VBIS bin directory is not in your path
I think I have to define CLASSPATH but I don't know what to put in this env. variable...
Any idea?
Thank you!

What might be the problem?

This happened due to the login I was giving to HAL. This user was administrator of Essbase and Planning but when I logged in the EAS admin console with it, I could not see any application. I'm not sure why though, but changing the user to the one that made the initial Essbase install did the trick.

HAL Error

Hi,I am trying to install Planning adapter and getting this error: The following adapters cannot be loaded either because they have not been installed correctly, or because no valid serial number was found. Name: Hyperion Planning Type: <Unknown> Clsid: {CE5B8CD2-C0A2-11D0-8DA2-00609778AFF5}All the other adapters seem to be working fine. I am using Planning 3.0.3 adapter.Thanks,Minash...

If you created a new app. Have you run the HspSetupSupport.exe and then restarted your Planning Service? Doing so will fix your problem.Raj

HAL 9.3.1 Essbaes Adapter Error

We recently migrated from Planning 3.5.1 to 9.3.1 and are still using HAL. In several of our Integrations we were able to pull in the new adapters (Planning 9.2 and Essbase 9.2 - we had to use this older Essbase adapter because the newest version wasn't working). And most of my integrations run fine.
However, I have one integration for HAL that is failing on a Dimension extraction step with the message:
Flow ID: 'getMetaActProd'
Adapter ID: 'Essbase2--GrProfit'
Error Message: com.hyperion.essbaseadapter.application.ap.APException: Exception #1: error code - 1033: Essbase Error: native code - 1060000
Most the time we don't get this detail but a 'C++ exception' message and the integration stops (usually when we run this from it's executable). Sometimes running the integration from the executable gives us the other message above - wierd.
Anyway, I go into the integration and run this and this steps is pulling about 4,000 part numbers into an Access database -we're comparing part #'s from our outline to parts that come in through a data source. The integration gets to about 3,000 or so and then looks like it freezes up and we get the above message.
I have basically the same integration running on a smaller applicaiton/database and it gets through this step OK. So, I'm at a bit of a loss here as to what I can check. I suspect the adapter was fine because I have integrations the get into Essbase and load and calc' data and all that fine. But this step on our larger database is bombing.
Anyone have any ideas?

try the method suggested by user609180 in this post: Re: HAL error 1033 when connecting to essbase/ Analytics />
It worked for me
<blockquote>
<blockquote>
          I've got a solution which Ive tested and works! You need the 9.2.0
          runtime in order for the VBIS Essbase 9.2.0 Adapter to work. This comes
          from installing the 9.2.0 Essbase Client
          This is what I did I on my client machine:
          1. Uninstall EAS 9.3.1 Console (Not the server), Essbase Client 9.3.1, VBIS
          2. Reinstall in this sequence:
          2.1 Essbase Client 9.2.0, including runtime, and spreadsheet add-in
          2.2 VBIS 7.3
          2.3 HAL Essbase Adapter 9.2.0
          2.4 EAS 9.3.1 Console
          Also
          ensure these Window Environment Variables are set(This is based on my
          computer settings so could differ from yours) Right mouse click My
          Computer > Properties > Advanced Tab > Environment Variables:
          /*USER VARIABLES*/
          /*CLASS PATH*/
          C:\Program Files\Vignette\V7\vbis\Hyperion\EssbaseAdapter
          /*PATH*/
          C:\Program Files\Vignette\V7\vbis\Hyperion\EssbaseAdapter\adm
          /*ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES*/
          /*CLASS PATH*/
          C:\Program Files\Vignette\V7\vbis\Hyperion\EssbaseAdapter\adm
          /*PATH*/
          C:\Program Files\Vignette\V7\vbis\Hyperion\EssbaseAdapter\adm;C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.5.0_07\bin\client\
          You might have extra variable paths defined under the PATH variables.
          Ive
          managed to add the adapter in a VBIS project without any errors, it
          connects to Essbase though yet to test if it will perform a send
          properly. The spreadsheet addin works with 9.2.0 and the EAS Console
          works with 9.3.1 connecting to the Essbase Server 9.3.1.
          Hope this helps!

Hal.dll error - HP Mini 1030 NR fails to boot following XP reinstall.

Following a reformat of the solid state HDD and subsequent reinstallation of XP from the recovery disc, I receive the following message: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\hal.dll" - I've tried multiple fixes using the "expand" (copy) command from the XP recovery disc to replace the .dll file as well as rebuilding the boot.ini file. Any suggestions would be appreciated...

Hi Paul - thanks for your suggestions...
The associated HP Mini 1030 utilizes a 16 GB SSD as its only drive other that a removable SD card. It has worked well within my home network for web based applications (streaming, MP3's, news etc.) in my kitchen for the last year. It was configured new with a no frills bare bones XP platform. I removed all extraneous programs except for a basic antivirus routine. Eventually however, the SDD became filled to capacity with security updates and other file allocation clutter typical of the XP platform and I started getting memory warnings.
As I've done with other XP machines, I reformatted the SDD and have attempted to reinstall the operating system using the associated recovery disc as supplied from HP. I consistently get the "Hal error" early in the bootup process and as a result, Windows will not launch.
I read through the MS links you included and have the following comments:
Suggestion #1 - Unless I'm missing something, I can't change the "computer type" in the control panel as the laptop will not boot to windows.
Suggestion #2 - Forcing a system Hal... would like to try this but am not sure what configuration I'm looking for with this type of laptop (Standard PC?).
Any other thoughts? thanks again for your help...

Event Viewer ACPI error MBP mid09

Hi, I have installed Win 7 on my MBP 5.5 mid 2009 and although its running well I am getting an error message in event viewer saying:
Error
25/09/2014 00:00:32
ACPI

None
something about the embedded controller failed to start in a reasonable time. Would anyone with the same mac please check their event logs to see if they have this error please?
I had this and a HAL error under Win 7 ultimate x64 (used this as a test os) so I installed Win 7 Pro from a Genuine Disc (I do not condone piracy) and I am getting the ACPI error (only after all the drivers were installed, the error message didnt show prior to boot camp 4 install). So before I spend £100 on a Genuine Windows disc (I already purchased Windows 8 at £106 but it seems apple dont support it on this mac :-(...) I'd like to know if its a failing logic board or driver related.
Thanks in advance
Darren

I have been running OSX for around 1 hour and then I rebooted into windows 7, loaded the event logs immediately and found the ACPI error had been recorded precisely 1 hour before windows had booted, I am wondering if this could be a bug between Mac/Windows time feature. after more restarts the ACPI isn't being recorded and other events times are correct.
edit:
I have just disabled the Synchronise with internet time feature in windows. I'll keep a look out.

Windows XP - hal.dll corupted

Hi, guys!
I have a problem with corupted hal.dll
I have read all suggestions about this subject and I still have a few questions:
1. can you please show me what should exactly be in windows XP boot.ini ?
(after installation of alcohol 120% and 3 virtual drives my windows showed hal error and in fact boot.ini dissapeared)
2. once I've managed to run my "broken" windows from Parallel Desktop, but after reboot it dont want to start again! How to run not new instalation of windows, but existing "broken" one?
thanks a lot!

Parallels damaged your Windows installation. I would post a link to the knowledge base article on their web site that references this exact situation, but, the search capability for their knowledge base is broken at the moment. Here's a link to another forum that contains the steps copied from the knowledge base article on the Parallels site (see the post by "Allama").
http://forums.macnn.com/104/alternative-operating-systems/344157/boot-camp-paral lels-messed-up-boot/
I would steer clear of Parallels until they release a version that doesn't damage Windows so easily.

Need help for ivman, good howto or so

hello!
i want to use ivman for automounting. so i have installed hal, dbus and ivman. but i dont found any information how to configure ivman. also ivman doesnt work correct. mounts usb-stick only one time, doesnt mount dvd...
can someone post me a complete guidance for ivman? that would be nice. if it works perfect i will add this to the wiki!
thx, mfg iggy

similar problems here, though sometimes it works
but it chose a random name for the mount point; the cd with the name Lt Kije was actualy in /dev/sr1, and it didnt get mounted
manager.c:1476 (main) Entering main loop.
IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:166 (ivm_device_is_mountable) UDI /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_Lt_Kije is device /dev/sr0

IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:186 (ivm_device_is_mountable) Device /dev/sr1 can't be mounted because it is not a volume
theres a pretty good article here
it might even be some kind of syntactical error on part of ivman mounting whatever, because if you started it with something like ivman --nofork -d -c /etc/ivman, it would tell you which command it uses to mount things, which is, in my case at least, pmount-hal
and since
pmount-hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_CD_ROM_CRD_8482B
pmount /dev/sr1
both worked, each and every time, regardless of what ivman would do, i think that the problem would lie somewhere in either the permissions ivman gets or something else

Macbook Pro Win 7 x64

Hi, I have recently bought a MacBook Pro 2009 from a mate who sold it as faulty. The Apple store said it was a faulty Logic Board but couldn't say for certain what the problem was. Having experience with PCs I tried putting an old HDD in to test if it
would work and it did. So I bought an SSD and installed Win 7 via Bootcamp.
Last night I upgraded OSX to 10.9.4 Mavericks which installed okay, then I installed the upgrade to 10.9.5 and left it running when I went to work. When I got home I found the Mac had frozen at the login screen with a spinning multi-coloured wheel in the
top left corner but the machine was unresponsive so I had to hold the power button down for 4 seconds to turn it off. After I restarted the update installed (again) successfully.
In Win 7 here is the hardware specs of my Mac:
System Manufacturer Apple Inc.
System Model MacBookPro5,5
System Type x64-based PC
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU     P7550 @ 2.26GHz, 2261 Mhz, 2 Core(s), 2 Logical Processor(s)
BIOS Version/Date Apple Inc. MBP55.88Z.00AC.B03.0906151708, 15/06/2009
Having heard OSX was rock solid I booted into Win 7 x64 and looked through the event logs and found these 2 errors which seem to be hardware related:

could somebody point me in the right direction as to how to resolve these issues? My Machine has been upgraded to 8gb ddr3 1333mhz and a 240gb Kingston SSD 6Gbps. I think this version of the Mac only supports 1.5Gbps sata bus, I have downloaded a driver
from apple to upgrade the EFI to install faster storage to the 3.0Gbps but they do not support it so I am unsure if installing it will be a good idea.
Thanks for reading.

Hi,
According to the Event Log:
Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) error related. Generally speaking, this probably caused by Hardware problem. It would be better to contact Apple Service Center for further assitance.

BootCamp 2.1 Success/Failure

Hello everyone.
There are now several threads on this topic. I have read over most of them and i think i may have found a link between the failures. However, proving this will require your help. Although the update just released is 2.1, most people will have used v2.0 drivers up until now (included on Leopard DVD). However, it appears that there was a sneaky update to BootCamp that is only available on certain Restore Discs that come with new Macs. The version contained on them is 2.02.
I would like people to list their experience with installing v2.1.
Answer these questions please.
1. Your Mac model (be specific with release dates/model numbers)?
2. Did you install drivers from a Leopard DVD, or from your Restore Discs?
3. Did your 2.1 install succeed, or fail?
4. XP, Vista32 or Vista64?
5. Windows on partition within OS X hard drive, or separate drive?
Keeping your answers short will allow easier collation of people's responses. Thanks.
My details are as follows...
1. MacPro 3.0Ghz 8-core (April 2007)
2. BootCamp drivers installed from Leopard DVD
3. BootCamp 2.1 succeeded on XP, installer fails to launch on Vista64
4. See 3, above
5. XP on separate drive, Vista64 on separate drive

Hello again,
I have done some more digging around the internet and tried a few more tricks. My specific interest is Vista64.
It seems to be a fact that, prior to Boot Camp 2.02, there are no 64 bit drivers for Vista. Boot Camp 2.02 appears to be available only on the Restore Discs that came with Mac Pro 2008 model. This means that, for example, my Vista64 installation (which has Boot Camp 2.0 drivers installed from the Leopard DVD) has only 32 bit drivers installed. I have confirmed this by seeking out the location of the installed drivers. They are in a folder called 'Boot Camp' within 'Program Files(x86)'. The 'Program Files' folder (this is the 64 bit folder) has no 'Boot Camp' folder in it at all.
To test out a theory, i downloaded the BC 2.1 update for Vista32. However, before installing this, i used the Leopard DVD BC 2.0 installer to remove the existing installation. I did this to see if the BC 2.1 Vista32 Update would install if there were no existing drivers at all. The update simply refused to even launch. I then re-installed BC 2.0 from the Leopard DVD and tried the BC 2.1 Vista32 updater. This time, the updater launched and went through the installation process. However, it gave the same errors (KeyAgent and Mac HAL) that v2.0 installer does.
Regardless, this appears to confirm that the BC 2.1 updaters (XP, Vista32 and Vista64) require a suitable set of existing Boot Camp drivers to be installed. I think it is also safe to say that the BC 2.1 Vista64 updater will only run if you have existing 64 bit drivers installed (i.e. you installed from Mac Pro 2008 Restore Discs, not the Leopard DVD or earlier)
I must add that the semi-successful installation of BC 2.1 Vista32 drivers has not given me the features found in XP (Eject Key, Volume Keys etc etc).
I would be very keen to get hold of a copy of the Boot Camp Drivers that are on the Mac Pro 2008 Restore Discs as i have read that the 'KeyAgent' and 'Mac HAL' errors are not present during installation. I am quite sure that with these drivers installed on my own Mac Pro, the BC 2.1 Vista64 updater will work.
Can anyone who has a Mac Pro 2008 extract the Boot Camp installer from their disc and send it to me somehow? Any suggestions on how this could be achieved? Upload to .Mac, Torrent etc.

Mac Pro Sleep/Wakeup Issue in Windows 7 x64

I have experienced two issues related to sleep in Windows 7 x64 on my Mac Pro 3,1 with Bootcamp 3.2 for a while. From search results it seems several people also experienced similar issues, but no solution/workaround yet.
The first issue is that sometimes the Mac Pro won't wake up from sleep. If I made it to enter sleep, then it (almost) always wake up. But if it enters sleep itself, then there's a chance (around 25%) that it won't wake up. The fans and HDDs are running, but the screen is black, mouse/keyboard no response and I can't ping it. After forcing it to shutdown and restart it, there will be an "HAL Error" in Eventlog ("The platform firmware has corrupted memory across the previous system power transition. Please check for updated firmware for your system"
). Some folks experienced the same issue in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11839029
The second issue is that if I disable Hybrid Sleep with the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard connected, the Mac Pro will not sleep with the HDDs shutdown but fans running at full speed. If I removed the batteries from the Apple Bluetooth Keyboard, it goes to sleep and wakes up normally. Whether the Magic Mouse is connected or not doesn't make a difference.
I can't reproduce either issues in OS X.
Would really appreciate if someone can share some insights or workarounds. Thanks!

Yes, almost the same problem!
Please someone help...

Volume manage - halevt + traydevice + xdotool

Already for a long time I wanted something, I'll try to describe here now.
What I would like to have as a volume manager is something, that allows to open automatically (on a USB insertion) the console window, then put a string there with command to mount the device basing on the information taking from hal. At the same time something in the tray would be also nice.
So I did the following trick:
I installed halevt, traydevice and xdotool.
In the xml config for halevt I have:
<halevt:Insertion exec="urxvtcc & tmount.sh $hal.block.device$ $hal.volume.label$ & traydevice $hal.udi$"/>
<halevt:OnInit exec="urxvtcc & tmount.sh $hal.block.device$ $hal.volume.label$ & traydevice $hal.udi$"/>
The tmount.sh looks as follows:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 1
xdotool type "pmount $1 $2 ; cd /media/$2"
In default.xml I use pmount-hal to mount and pumount to unmount device
So... It works. When I insert the usb stick the console opens and something like:
pmount /dev/sdb1 ARCHISO_COHYAE4A; cd /media/ARCHISO_COHYAE4A
appears.
But there are too many problems in this solution.
1) I don't know how to check if the label is not blank string and use the name of the device (sdX) instead.
2) If I have a whole disk formatted(sdb for example instead of sdb1 etc.) nothing works.
3) Showing the command takes some time and, if I focus another window in the mean time, no message (of course) appears in the needed console.
Tell me if you know, how to achieve what I want in a better way. Just wanted to open a discussion
P.S.
I didn't know where to put this message...
If I placed this in a wrong place, just move it into another place

@anonymous_user:
This is not really traydevice related, this is a setup of your desktop.
man 8 pklocalauthority on setting up rights with this *kit stuff.
This are very loose settings that should do. (/etc/polkit-1/localauthority/50-local.d/10-local.settings.pkla):
[Mounting permissions for everybody]
Identity=unix-group:users
Action=org.freedesktop.udisks.*
ResultActive=yes
ResultInactive=yes
ResultAny=yes
This should work no matter what your consolekit session status is.
@DPX-infinity:
A bug. Thank you.
