[SOLVED]HAL and multiple mount attempts

Recently I managed to break my HD and so had to reinstall everything. Everything is working about the way they used to BUT:
Everytime I put CD or DVD into my DVD-drive or try to use USB-stick HAL for some reason tries to mount the media 3 times. Discs give two error messages for mount point being allready in use but otherwise work fine, USB-sticks doesn't give any errors but open three filemanager windows. Problem is mainly cosmetic because everything works, it's just annoying...
Anybody have a clue what I might have done wrong?

Seems like it wasn't HAL problem after all. I had turned on automounting from XFCE settings and that was causing multiple attempts. I unchecked everything from XFCE automount options and now it's working as it should.

  • (SOLVED) Hal and dbus, do I need dbus?

    I read the wiki and it says if I don't use hal in my daemons then I need to add dbus.

  • [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.

    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.

  • [Solved][Hal and Partitions] Newbie problem with hal policy

    Hello everybody,
    As a new user of archlinux for less than a week I have experienced a great distribution after having been for 1 year on Linux.
    After installation I was able to solve most of my problems with the wiki and the forums but there is one problem I cannot resolve.
    I have installed Kde 4.2 on my computer and I can mount Usb drives, or CDs with hal (It is in the daemons section of my rc.conf) but strangely I cannot access my other partitions such as my Ubuntu partition (ext3), or the family's Windows partition (Nfts). I have installed nfts-3g for the nfts partition hal refuses to let me access it, I will give you what Dolphin says when I try to access the Nfts:
    org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options no <-- (actions,result)
    And for the ext3
    org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: hal-storage-mount-fixedauth_admin_keep_always <-- (actions,result)
    I don't really understand what It means but normally I am allowed to mount partitions.
    My /etc/PolycyKit/PolicyKit.conf: http://pastebin.com/m57e94025
    And my /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf: http://pastebin.com/m62861179
    I've already tried to configure these two with the wiki and the forums but nothing yet.
    If you need more information ask me.
    Thanks in advance.

    You might want to reread the Hal wiki re: Permission Denied with automounter.  Your /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf seems to be missing the lines mentioned in the wiki.
    Edit: Or maybe it is similair to: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=66008

  • (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 ...

  • [solved] hal won't mount volumes after update

    Every time I try to mount it, hal gives me an error:
    Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=1000 pid=3528 comm="pcmanfm) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=3228 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))
    Followed by:
    Directory doesn't exist!
    I really don't know what the deal is, and google doesn't turn up much of anything.
    Edit: This is for all drives not mounted at boot, same error.
    Drives can be manually mounted with no problems.
    Edit: This happens regardless of file manager used.
    Solution: In my case I needed ck-launch-session added to my ~/.xinitrc for mounting to work. So, this:
    exec openbox-session
    Became this:
    exec ck-launch-session openbox-session
    If this doesn't work for you, following the instructions on the hal wiki page as seen in anonymous_user's post (#11) most likely will.

    I had this problem to (running Xfce).
    I fixed it by removing policykit from my machine and restarting. The new version of hal drops policykit as a dependency. I don't know whats the reasoning behind this, as hal doesn't seem to support polkit integration (at least there is no compile flag for it). So policykit now seems to interfere with the new hal package.
    Edit: Spelling
    hal requires consolekit and polkit is required by it. How the disable consolekit integration bit works I don't understand.
    You can disable consolekit by editing the PKGBUILD:
    --disable-console-kit --disable-policy-kit --disable-acl-management
    EDIT: When building the package from scratch, it seems --enable-consolekit needs --enable-policykit, i might be wrong

  • [SOLVED] kde 4.6 and Udisks mounting problems with Dolphin

    Hello,
    I have a problem with Dolphin in KDE 4.6 where it displays my non-Arch partitions (a / and /home used for Opensuse) as well as a CD-Rom or usb if inserted, but registers an error when I click on the device/partition icon. Specifically, I get the following error displayed at the bottom of Dolphin:
    An error occurred while accessing Hard Drive, the system responded: org.freedesktop.UDisks.Error.Failed: Error creating mount point: No such file or directory.
    Because of this error, I am unable to mount usb pendrives, access CDs, or access the non-Arch partitions. I'm not sure if this is a KDE error or if it related to Arch as I never encountered this error running KDE 4.6 in Opensuse.
    My daemons running in /etc/rc.conf
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng dbus networkmanager netfs crond alsa kdm)
    My /etc/fstab

    tmpfs   /var/run        tmpfs defaults,nodev,nosuid,noexec,mode=0755,size=10M   0 0
    Now, I don't have hal running as a daemon as I have read that it is no longer needed in KDE 4.6. Similarly, I don't have my CD-Rom drive mounted as I read in the udev wiki that Udisks automatically mounts devices and partitions. The wiki also indicates that Udisks is supposed to require little configuration.
    I've searched the forum and Google, and I have not been able to find any information documenting a Dolphin and UDisks mounting error in KDE 4.6.
    I installed KDE through the # pacman -S kde    command, but is there some other package that I need to install in order to get Udisks working properly?
    Thanks.

    When I enter   $ groups in a terminal I get the following
    sys adm disk lp wheel games video audio optical storage power users
    So I'm definitely part of the storage group.
    I think I found a solution. I created a /data mountpoint in fstab and a /data folder in my root directory. Now, I'm able to mount and access the contents of the /home partition from Opensuse. The reason I wanted to do this was to access music and photos and transfer them onto my Arch /home partition.
    I uncommented the cdrom, dvd, and fd0 devices in fstab and I created /media/cd, /media/dvd, and /media/fl. After inputting a # mount -a, my CDROM drive reads properly as does my USB.
    So once again, thank, you for pointing me in the right direction.
    One final thought. I was under the impression from reading the UDisks information that it automatically detected and mounted other partitions and devices without them being explicitly mounted in fstab. Was the assumption wrong? In other words, for UDisks and Dolphin to work together properly in KDE 4.6, do all of the devices that appear have to first be mounted in fstab?

  • [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

  • No SIM on iPad. Tried different cards, same thing. Updated and multiple reboots have solved the problem. IPad fault?

    No Sim on iPad. Tried different cards, same thing. Updated iOS and multiple reboots, no luck. iPad fault? What do I do now, ask for replacement?

    Apple has acknowledged that the "no sim card" message has been a problem for some users. iOS 5.1 is reported by MacWorld to resolve this issue. 5.1 is in development and a beta version has been seeded to developers. In the meant time I suggest contacting Apple.

  • Missing loopback interface and modules, and isofs mounting [SOLVED!]

    In my new archlinux istallation, isofs and loopback facilities are not present and when installed by hand do not seem to work. [See FINAL SOLUTION below. Thanks for the suggestions I got].
    Now, I was under the impression that such facilities should be automatically available at the end of a normal installation.
    For instance, in an installation I made last fall, I can mount .iso filesystem through the loopback interface with no problems (and that even without using -t, with just 'mount image.iso /mnt/iso').  In that installation, lsmod shows the modules
      loop                  18526  2
      isofs                  32946  1
    (also, a module isofs is present in /lib/modules, though I cannot find a loop module there)
    and eight loopback devices are available as /dev/loop0 ... /dev/loop7
    On the other hand, in the new installation no /dev/loop devices are present, and no loop and isofs modules show up either
    as installed (as reported by lsmod) or at least in the libraries. Has something changed recently? Do I need to install a package that will set up my installation for loopack mounting and mounting of .iso filesystems?
    INTERIM SOLUTION
    I mentioned above that in my older Linux box, on an Arch Linux installed months ago but not upgraded for many weeks, I had loopback devices running and isofs and loop modules installed, and all working well by itself. Today I did an upgrade, and noticed that it came with a new kernel (3.3?), probably the same I had on the new machine. So I rebooted after that---and found the exact problem as on the new machine: /dev/loop* missing, no modules isofs or loop appearing in lsmod. So I installed by hand a loopback interface, with 'mknod /dev/loop0 b 7 0'. Then I made sure I had the isofs package installed, and installed the isofs module with modprob; this time isofs showed on lsmod, but loop didn't yet. Finally I mounted a data DVD (note that the incantation -t iso9660 is no longer necessary), and as a last thing I mounted an .iso file; both worked. Only after this did a module loop show up in lsmod.
    So probably something subtle changed in the dependencies between installed packages, installed modules, and installed loopback devices, so that something is out of sync and has to be nursed manually. Better experts than I may throw
    some light on this problem and hopefully fix it.
    FINAL AND SATISFACTORY SOLUTION
    Whatever may have happened before, the following works like a charm:
    I upgrade Arch; it installs 3.3.1-1-ARCH as a kernel in /boot.
    I reboot to let the new kernel "take".
    No loop0,...,loop7 devices show up in /dev; no isofs or loop show up with lsmod; isofs (but no loop) present in /lib/modules
    I do 'mount /dev/sr0 /iso' (NOTE: no -t iso9660' option) with a CD in the sr0 drive; the CD filesystem shows up in /iso.
       After this, isofs shows up in 'lsmod|grep isofs', but no loop device yet.
    I unmount /iso and do 'mount ~tt/ markov.iso /iso' (NOTE: no -t iso9660' option); the markov filesystem shows up in /iso.
      After this, loop0,...,loop7 devices show up in /dev, and a loop module (wherever that camefrom) appears in lsmod.
    In other words, everything required for isofs automounts as necessary and remains mounted until new reboot.
    The '-t iso9660' option is not necessary. As noted by an other Arch post, this option may be detrimental and might have been the culprit; this is an issue I will explore on the next reboot.
    Last edited by rugantino (2012-04-11 20:11:55)

    When /etc/rc.sysinit is invoked during the bootprocess; it should automatically start a loopback interface (unless you've specifically disabled it in /etc/rc.d/network or so).
    Check your logs to see if your find any related errors.

  • New 13" Macbook Pro trying to connect to a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 as second monitor. I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. The Macbook does not sense the second monitor (TV). Help?!

    I've been a Mac since 2008, so I know my way around the system pretty well. This issue, however, has me stumped. I had an iMac until now and only now am I experiencing some difficulty with my new MacBook Pro. The model I have is the newest 13" Macbook Pro model and I'm trying to connect a Panasonic VIERA TC-L42U30 42" HDTV as a second monitor via the Thunderbolt port.
    It worked the first two times and hasn't worked since, after 10-15 attempts with different configurations, turning things on n off, restarting the mac, unplugging the cables, adapters, TV, resetting the P RAM, etc... I've used multiple hdmi-thunderbolt/mini displayport adapters and multiple hdmi cables and still no success. No matter what I do, the Macbook does not sense the TV as a second monitor anymore.
    I took the MacBook Pro to the Apple Store, and their "genius" there had it working fine with a DVI connection to a regular monitor. The Panasonic TV I have has HDMI connections and one VGA connection which does not support HD, but no DVI option. I want an HD connection to mirror or extend my MacBook Pro screen. At the Apple Store, they didn't have a Thunderbolt/Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter, so he could not try that out for me.
    Anyone else have this configuration or another similar one with a Panasonic HDTV?
    Ideas? Suggestions? Anything?! Help!!
    P.S. I'm running Mountain Lion, if that wasn't already obvious. Everything is up to date in my App Store as well.
    Thanks!

    Hi There,
    I have had the exact same issue but with a projector.
    The issue lies with Mountian Lion 10.8.2.
    I tried many a combination with no luck to get HDMI working.
    Took my mac into the apple store and came to the conclusion it was the software, so I asked them to install 10.8 onto it (this is destructive so a backup is a must)
    Bought my macbook home and voila, now displaying through my projector.
    There is a small graphics update after 10.8.1 which seems to be the cause.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks.

  • [SOLVED] startx and xinit fail on eeepc901 (possibly after upgrade)

    Dear all,
    Can't get X to start.
    After a system upgrade (was a messy one, I'm pretty sure this is not a bug) I must have deleted some very important file for X. The fact is that it has stopped working, startx fails, xinit fail, even Xorg -configure fails. Please also note that I've changed the kernel (from zeneee to stock) but I had the same behavior with the previous kernel.
    Possibly interesting outputs:
    $xinit
    giving up.
    xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
    xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
    $startx

    giving up.
    xinit: No such file or directory (errno 2): unable to connect to X server
    xinit: No such process (errno 3): Server error.
    It does create the authority file. Fails after that.

    I've searched over for a solution but can't really find anything relevant. I've tried installing xorg a few times. Also hal and all that stuff but I don't trust myself too much on that. I don't know how to proceed any further and would appreciate any help possible or any ideas you think I could try. I'm pretty sure it's something quite stupid. Thanks for your time and consideration.

    Hi all,
    I fixed it. By looking closely at the strace I figured that for some reason X couldn't access my /tmp. I remember setting my /tmp directories in fstab to mount on tmpfs so I figured that wasn't working anymore. I removed my tmp entries in fstab (will have to refigure that one out). Something changed with the devices. Maybe I wasn't using udev before or something as it also has problems mounting devices it previously mounted on boot. However all this happened before I changed kernel. Dunno, anyway, it works although I have to fix a bunch of small things that still don't work. Lesson would be update often (hadn't done so in a year) and keep in touch with what is going on in the community (eee instructions have changed a lot -and become slightly more confusing-). Anyway, thanks for your help, specially Rasi.
    Best regards,
    Michael

  • Motorola Services Contact re-appears after delete and multiple times

    I have owned this Motorola Droid 3 for a week or so and I am having problems with Contacts. I have successful syncs with gmail, but I don't know why some contacts continue to reappear and continue to be added in spite of deleting them and in spite of already having a contact with the same name. When one edits a contact I want which is in gmail, scrolling the edit page reveals multiple instances of the same contact labeled "Motorola Services Contac". Then if I delete this contact, after a couple of hours, the deleted contact re-appears with multiple instances again. The multiple instances continue to grow and eventually the contact application boggs down. Can anyone help?

    My gmail account contacts are the ones I want. The "Motorola Services contacts" list include the gmail ones, and ones that have been deleted. When I delete all the contacts in the phone by using an App (MyPhoneExplorer), the phone contact list ends up being the precise list that's in gmail, the list I want. A few hours later the "Motorola Services contact" list reappears. Apparently this happens every few hours, as you see repeated instances of all the "Motorola Services contacts" joined as I see by editing a contact. It is as the "Motorola Services contacts" are somewhere in the phone memory. My Backup Assistant list in verizon is empty. I guess I will visit the Verizon rep as I have cleared data areas in the sync services, and any other attempt I make does not cure this problem for me....  Al
