[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] gsmartcontrol and lshw have problems with my HDs

    When I use gsmartcontrol in archlinux, my hard drives are listed as unknown models. They are not listed in lshw. I can use both hard drives without a problem. lsblk, df,... show them correctly.
    My hard drives are listed correctly in gsmartcontrol and lshw when I run gsmartcontrol and lshw from the Parted Magic Livecd.
    Does this mean that I have a problem? Can I gnore it?

    Problem 'solved'. HDs were recognized correctly when I ran gsmartcontrol with root privileges.

  • [solved] Problems with HAL

    I am having problems with HAL. I first noticed it when trying to log out of XFCE an it was asking for my password and then I would see this message when X stopped:
    xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:134: Failed to contact hal: The name org.freedesktop.Hal was not provided by any .services files
    Hal is listed in my daemons of rc.conf
    DAEMONS=(syslog-ng network netfs crond hal @fam @alsa)
    I am part of the power group
    [ryan ~]$ groups
    disk lp wheel log locate network video audio optical storage scanner power users
    I think there is something wrong with hal since it's not loading at boot and I can't start it once logged in
    [ryan ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal stop
    :: Stopping Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
    [ryan ~]$ sudo /etc/rc.d/hal start
    :: Starting Hardware Abstraction Layer [FAIL]
    I don't know what to do. Searching for the 'xfsm-shutdown-helper' error says to look in .xsession-errors but I can't find that file. HAL should be loading at boot though and it is not so I think that is the cause of the error anyway.
    This all started when I was trying to clean up goup.pacnew and gshadow.pacnew files.
    Edit: solved

    Thanks but there was nothing there about hal.
    My problem is solved though. hal was updated to version 0.5.11-4 and it is loading during boot and my error message on shutdown is gone.

    I'm going to guess videos buffer for a while also...
    Two possibilities, one is you should close apps on the iPad, the other is your internet speed is not able to handle the demands of a high speed device.
    To close apps:   Double click home button, swipe up to close the apps.
    To solve internet problem, contact your provider.   Basic internet is not enough for video games and movies.   Your router may be old and slow.

  • I am using my Ipad on a remote craftshow site and am having problems with battery lasting 8 hrs. Can I use a 12v rv battery to recharge it or atleast maintain the charg over longer periods of time? I have a dc adapter. thanks

    You should be able to use the battery if you get a car type charger which recharges mobile devices.
    The full size iPads use a 10-12W charger, whereas the mini uses a 5W charger. Many car chargers only supply 5W. But at 5W, the car charger should give you some extra time on your iPad. It would be best to use a 10-12W car charger.

    Going through the feedback and support pages will be a waste of your time. Apple won't respond to feedback, and support can't do anything regarding product suggestions, particularly not from a company with an existing product they wish to sell. The only attention you might get from Apple would be possible interest in selling your product through the Apple Stores, and I don't know how Apple chooses the third-party products they sell. All I could suggest would be writing to Apple's corporate headquarters:
    Apple
    1 Infinite Loop
    Cupertino, CA 95014
    with perhaps "Attention: Retail Sales Division" and telling them about your product and your interest in it being sold through the Apple Stores.
    Regards.

    tornado2003,
    What you need to do is boot into Safe Mode. Then delete the VGA Drivers.
    After that boot normally and install the latest nVidia ForceWare Drivers
    Take Care,
    Richard
    i guess you missed that:

  • Hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing

    hi i'm using iphone 4 and i have problem with viber apps while i'm installing & registration process its says error on system mainternance. can you please help me out?
    thank you.

    OK, let's try again. Wind is NOT a supported carrier. In order to use tethering, it must be supported and activated by your carrier for the iPhone. This usually involves an additional fee.  You will have to ask your carrier if they can enable it. Odds are, since they are not a supported carrier, they can not. If you want to use tethering, you will most likely have to switch to a supported carrier that offers this feature on the iPhone.
    A list of supported carriers can be found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1937

  • I have an Imac  operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer?

    I have an Imac  operating system 10.4.1 and Apple Works 6 and am having problems with Aplle Works 6. It shuts down before I am finished. Is there a place I can download Apple Works 6 onto my computer free?

    AppleWorks has never been available for legal download.
    Have you done the usual trouble shooting steps:
    Quit AppleWorks
    Delete most or all of the Recent Items list.
    Remove the Preferences files to the Desktop or to the Trash.
    Launch AppleWorks to see if the problems remain.
    You'll find Recent Items in:
    username > Documents > AppleWorks User Documents > Starting Points > Recent Items
    There are several preferences files.
    Go to:
    username > Library > Preferences
    Locate, select and delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist
    Still in the Preferences floder, locate and open the folder AppleWorks.
    Select and delete the two Cache files and the Preferences file.
    Button Bars is also a preferences file, but may be left where it is IF you have no problems that appear related to the Button Bar, and wish to preserve any changes you've made to the Button Bar.
    Regards,
    Barry

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive

    Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list.  Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.

    You would have to put all of the music on one computer.
    You cannot sync music from two computers to your iphone, it must all be on one computer.
