[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 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
EDIT: I was wrong

External HD's won't mount (& more) after update to 10.3.9

I updated from OS 10.3.2 to 10.3.9 using the Apple updater utility. After the update, external hard drives won't mount unless they are on when I boot up the computer.
Also music cd's won't mount, but data cd's do. The only way I can eject the music cd's is to shut the computer down or use Toast in copy mode. For some reason Toast can "see" the cd.
Also I was running Firefox 1.5.0.7 and Mozilla 1.7.13 when I updated. Now Firefox and Mozilla won't open. I had them in the dock and now clicking on them gets a question mark. I tried downloading Firefox 2. and when I double click the .dmg file I get a warning box saying that the disk image failed to mount because of "error 536870208". I get the same error message when I try and open the .dmg files for the older versions.
Do I need to wipe the hard drive and reinstall everthing? I hope not.
Thanks for any help,
John R

No. DVD's mount and work fine. Music cd's are the only ones that won't mount, and they don't get kicked out.They just sit in the machine. They are not damaged when I do get them out.

Won't mount CD after update!!!

I usually resist (this is one good example why) updating when they show up.
Now after installing itunes,quicktime security update 2007-002/003, burned CDs will not show up on desktop AT ALL.
When I insert a new unburned CD, it asks for a title and that's the last it's seen.
Disk utility sees it, but won't mount it; only eject it.
This is really a BIG PAIN!! Thanks Apple!!
Our other macmini NOT updated works fine still.
Anyone know how to uninstall the undates? or fix this PLEEEEESE?

thanks,
I did the permission update; now it's worse.
before it would ask me for a name for the blank cd; now it autopilot opens iTunes but no CD shows anywhere.
When I go to disk utility, viewing blank CD says:
"Write Ability : Read Only (CD-R)
Any ideas?
thanks

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Mac OSx won't boot up after update to 10.6.7?

Hi Mike
This is called a kernel panic, similar to s 'blue screen of death' on Windows. When you say you reinstalled 3 times, do you mean the OS or the Update?
When does this kernel panic appear? You may have a hardware issue if it's happening on boot.

Has anyone noticed a problem with low/no volume after update to iOS 8.1.3 ?

HHas anyone noted a problem with low or no volume after update to iOS 8.1.3?

Although this reply is late. I just want to share that I have the same issue - no LTE after upgrade to 8.1.3 on my iPhone 5. No matter switch on/off iPhone or LTE option or Airplane Mode - they all didn't work....but after an upgrade to 8.2 today. I got my LTE back now after a month...not sure if it is a bug or a reset work. Good luck to anyone who looking for the resolution of same issue.

HAL seems to have broken after update. (SOLVED)

I'm not sure what happened, but after updating arch recently CD's, DVD's, and USB drives/sticks are not available. They "seem" to mount themselves as before, as they show up in gnome, but they are inacessible, clicking on any icon for them brings nothing up.
Sorry for the cryptic nature of this post, I'm not even sure where to begin looking in the logs for whatever error/warning might point me in the right direction. Can someone kindly tell me what I should be checking to resolve this? Thanks!

PowerBuilder won't reactivate License after update

Current;y have PowerBuilder Classic 12.5.2 build 5006 installed on a Windows 7 64bit machine. This was licensed and activated properly. Went to run the install again to add a missing database driver. After updating, when I ran Powerbuilder, it came up as unlicensed. I reapplied my license file with no success. I then went to the SAP site and regenerated a new license key for my machine (based on my host id and computer name, which didn't change) and applied it. Still won't activate.
Has anybody ran into this issue and how was it solved?
- - Shane - -

Hi Shane;
I have never seen this situation ever.
What I would suggest though is
a) Try this first ...
Locate pb125_sysam.properties in C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\Sybase\PowerBuilder 12.5
Right click on the file and select "Properties".
Click on the "Previous Versions" tab. Wait a bit until the File Versions box is populated.
Select a version from a restore point when you knew PB to be working OK and then click the RESTORE button.
PB should start normally
b) running a SySam trace ...

[SOLVED] impossible to boot (UEFI-grub2) after update

Hi,
problem : after update my computer refuses to boot. It doesn't get to the grub2 (actually 1.99) menu, it just says : no boot device found.
My hardware : Asus M8Z77-V LX motherboard with 1 SSD.
In the bios I disabled the bios legacy option to force it to boot with UEFI.
As I hadn't moved to systemd yet, I waited to update a while(2 months).
Last week I updated several pacakges by hand (kernel, vlc, ...) : All updates that according to me didn't involve with systemd.
Then I rebooted and ... problem.
I have tried a whole weekend to solve it by browsing through the wiki's but to no avail.
I can boot with live-cd and access my SSD. All data is there. I can also chroot and do stuff.
The SSD is partitionned in GPT as follows :
sda1 : 1 gb fat 32
sda2 : 20 gb ext4 root
sda3 : 20 gb ext4 var
sda4 : 79 gb ext4 home
I did not do any update of my bios or changed anything on my hardware.
It seems that my bios does not see my SSD as UEFI-bootable device anymore.
When I installed Arch in June on my brand new computer I made a backup with redobackup (partclone) of a working installation.
As a final ressort I put back the image I created then.
But it doesn't work either!
Then I updated my bios but same problem.
My bios can see the fat 32 partition. I know this because to update the bios it looks for attached fat 32 storage and there is shows the partition .
I there anywone who can point me in a good direction?
Thanks a lot in advance.

I am sorry if I lost your confidence. I can't find any contradictory info in my post.
The Arch Wiki-Grub 2 says that you need to boot in UEFI before you can (re)install grub2.
As my live-cd won't boot in UEFI mode, the only option is that I make a live-usb stick and see if that one will boot in UEFI.
But in the end it is still strange that a software update breaks my Asus UEFI-boot.
I just found another unlucky guy with a simular problem. I'll try his solution tonight.

I will try the live-usb method and report on it later.

Q10 Won't Turn On After Update

I am currently on Windows Phone and wanted to try Blackberry 10 as I am fan of my old Blackberry. I wanted to try it out cheap so I bought a Q10 on Ebay for $50 even though the seller said the phone had a water damaged sticker thinking I could fix it. I also bought a brand new battery from Amazon to go with it.
So my issue is when I got the phone, it was having trouble connecting to Link and reloading the OS would fail due to connection loss, so I nuked the phone with a program to clear the phone. I also soaked the phone in isopropyl alcohol after reading that soaking it could get rid of mineral deposits on water damaged phones. After the nuke and clean, the phone does the two quick blinking red lights which (I think) means the phone has no OS on it which is what I wanted after the nuke.
So, I plug the phone into the computer and Link recognizes it as a Q10. I have BB OS 10.2 downloaded and went to reload it. It completes the update all the way with a green LED on the whole time it is updating. When Link says to unplug the phone to let it reboot, the phone does nothing. Holding down power for any length of time can't turn on the phone. Plugging the phone into a wall charger causes the orange charging LED to flash on like it's going to start charging before quickly turning to a red LED while it stays plugged in.
I nuked the phone and tried Autoloader which does the same thing in the end as the phone won't turn on when it unplugs from the computer after updating. Seeing as how the phone is recognized by Link, seems to update correctly with the green LED on, and can be nuked fine, is there any way I can get this phone to work? It seems as though the battery isn't charging because once I unplug from the computer / wall, nothing seems to do anything and the LED doesn't flash. It is a new battery, so could the water have caused an issue on the circuit board which is not letting the battery charge?
Any help is appreciated, and I am willing to try pretty much anything and have decent knowledge of software / hardware. I have done tons of searching for similar issues to no success, but have not found this exact problem. Thanks in advance for any help!

OK, you bought a new battery which I would recommend, and it still is NOT charging or powering on.
You've done this already >> Make sure you let it charge with the wall outlet charger for several hours and then with it still connected to the wall outlet charger, remove the battery and reinsert... what happens?

ITunes won't open up after updating...

oh no. it won't.
i download the update, i install it succesfully, i open up iTunes and...that's it, it bumps in the dock once and then it disappears without opening up.
Then the only thing that can restore a working version of iTunes is deleting it with appDelete and reinstalling the 7.1.1 version...yes, because all the later updates won't work in any case. None of them.
anyone got an idea? actually i don't need to install the newer version of itunes, but id like to solve it
thanks

Do you get an error message when you try to launch iTunes? If so, what does it say? (Precise text, please.)

Hard Disk Won't Mount Volume

I have a hard disk that won't mount. It was previosly part of a software mirror RAID. The raid was degraded, so I tried to rebuild the second raid mirror. THis failed, and now the master won't mount either. In TechTools, the drive is reported as being fine, but the volume still won't mount. Any suggestions? This is really setting us back a bit.

$ pacman -Q intel-dri libgl foobar
intel-dri 9.0-1
libgl 9.0-1

What's the output of 'groups'? Maybe you need to add yourself to 'video' group?

[Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts

After updating to the latest initscripts, I got some error messages during init that I hadn't seen before. They occurred during one of the UDev steps, and were caused by an attempt to load an IDE module despite the controller being disabled. The controller shows up in Windows devmgr too, so I guess it's a failing of the mobo or BIOS.
In any case, I downgraded and found that the errors were nothing new. I'm just curious if the appearance of the errors during init was by design or a happy accident.
