[SOLVED] KDE won't automount USB and optical devices

After a recent update KDE stopped being willing to automount e.g. USB devices such as sticks, HDs, cameras, GPS etc.
My ArchLinux is updated today and is thus on kernel 3.6.6, My wife's ArchLinux, which is still on kernel 3.5.5, has no problems automounting, so it must be due to a recent change, but which?
When I insert e.g. a USB stick, I get the 'Available Devices' popup, but when I select 'Open with File Manager' I get the following message at the bottom of the popup: 'Could not mount the following device: xxxxx' followed by 'An unspecified error has occurred.: Not Authorized'
I'm still on sysvinit but would like to switch to systemd, because I have the haunch that switching to systemd would cure the problem. So far my attempts to switch to systemd has failed (see my woes in this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1193076
I have tried to install 'udiskie' but that did not help.
I could give many more details but which? I'll supply any information required as we go.
Any help and/or pointer will be much appreciated.

I have (of course) but I find myself in a circular situation apparently. 'logind' is a systemd thing and as you can see from the above thread I'm trying to switch to systemd but am having problems. So until that issue is solved I could use other suggestions...

I discovered problem. It's caused by NetworkManager after last update (libsystemd.0.so trouble).
Recompile pkg by yourself to get working NetworkManager.

Gnome AND KDE won't start (i686 and 64bit)

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=71991
I've had a rough time these past few days and I posted earlier on Arch64 forums thinking it was just architecture thing but as it turns out after my reinstallation of Arch to 64 bit again (First i686, then 64, then i686 and now 64 again) I finally got it to work but this time Gnome is a pain in the ass, it didn't work with KDE either but KDE never gave me an error or gave me an option to failsafe into the OS.

Just a point here is that I've had the exact same software installed the same day that I reinstalled and this error did not occur but after formatting my partition with ext4 and testing Arch64 it did. But it did with 32bit as well, there were tons of errors.
I've read about this ConsoleKit error in a few posts here but nothing seems to indicate a fix or anything and since I'm using Gnome now I didn't find anything on it just about KDE.
I can safely use "Failsafe Gnome" without startup scripts but I want it to work without any problems and I don't know if the "dri" thing is related to the ConsoleKit thing with GDM.
I installed it via FTP and had the latest updates as soon as I've installed, so if this is just something that is happening to me right now or alot of other people, please give us hints or anything that could solve this?
If you read my Arch64 thread you know that stuff stopped working for me, first the network (it turns out I had to boot Windows inbetween installing Arch for my network even to start and that sounds ridicilous if it depends on another operating system starting the device because in Windows the network card was turned on with a green light wherein Arch after installing it didn't. I reformated my partitions and changed it again, installed Windows again and tried it out and then installed Arch. It worked, and then I mixed around with KDE and after five minutes of using "startx" (the only thing working) I decided to reinstall with Gnome, but then the network didn't start again (tried booting about ten times) and then I just thought "Let's start windows first so it turns on" and when I just booted Windows and immiedatiely restarted it and booted with the Arch CD, network was available again. Strange? Or is this a period of instability for Arch?
But when I got my network to start, appearantly Keyboard and mouse wasn't working because Xorg forgot to install the drivers when I installed the full group of Xorg so I had to fix that and now it's giving me this error.

Without a dbus socket, dbus probably isn't running. It's supposed to be started automatically when a program needs it. Check to see that it is installed and running:
pacman -Q dbus
pgrep -l dbus
Dbus won't run without hal, so hal should be in:
tail /etc/rc.conf
Are any of your partitions full?
df -h
For the other error, it looks like libdrm isn't installed, but I don't think you need it if you're running the nvidia driver.
Your xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log would also be useful. Also check dmesg for errors.
And see if /etc/rc.d/dbus is marked executable.

[SOLVED] KDE won't start

I've just installed Arch... again. I decided to go for KDE this time. I installed kde-meta-kdebase, have graphics drivers (xf86-video-intel) and everything. When I've try to run it by startx ("exec startkde" in my .xinitrc, copied from /etc/skel - everything done like always), the process ends after short blink of the screen. No error output now but before reboot it prompted "startkde: no such file or directory" - now no error message but it won't run anyway... there is /usr/lib/kde on my system but when I go
# systemctl enable kdm.service
- again: no such file or directory... it's like it's not installed the right way but pacman sees it. It was the same yesterday and I thought I just forgot about something so today I went step-by-step with Beginner's Guide... and still nothing. Only thing that is different from the usual system is zsh. Test xorg DE starts fine.

I had kde-meta-kdebase installed but now I see that

10) kdebase-kwrite 11) kdebase-plasma
Enter a selection (default=all):
it's not there by default. Is it a mistake by packager that it wasn't pulled by any of the packages and it's not listed there too? "Minimal install" section of Arch Wiki article about KDE is now invalid and it wasn't like that before... I just went here to type that "I don't know why but after installing some other kde packages, the problem dissapeared" - now I know why, thanks! :-)

Cannot Re-enable Writes to USB and Optical

Created a policy on a small domain to restrict writing to external media. Used a GPO (with security filtering set to a specific User Group) to enable the settings found in User Config/Policies/Admin Templates/System/Removable Storage Access - specifically:
CD and DVD: Deny write access: Enabled
Floppy Drives: Deny write access: Enabled
Removable Disks: Deny write access: Enabled
Tape Drives: Deny write access: Enabled
WPD Devices: Deny Write access: Enabled
and also:
Windows Components/Windows Explorer
Remove CD Burning features: Enabled
Now I need to remove these restrictions for ONE user. Not having much luck. To troubleshoot, I've tried removing for ALL users, STILL won't work. More specifically, I've tried:
1. Creating a new policy that has the opposite settings and applying to a new group (I removed the user from the old group and added them to this one. Rebooted. This did not work.
2. Reset the policy settings to DISABLE those restrictions. Rebooted. That has not worked.
3. Removed both policies and deleted the contents of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\RemovableStorageDevices (after backing up, of course). Rebooted. That did not work.
4. Tried creating a local user account with the policies disabled but that reports access denied as well when attempting to copy files to a USB flash drive.
These should be USER settings. Why are they NOT removing themselves and more importantly, how do I get them removed?

Hi,
>>These should be USER settings. Why are they NOT removing themselves and more importantly, how do I get them removed?
Based on the description, what's the operating system we are using? If our operating system is Windows Server 2008, in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2, we can install the following hotfix to see if it helps.
Users cannot access removable devices after you enable and then disable a Group Policy setting in Windows Server 2008, in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2

[SOLVED] KDE won't start after Xorg update(nvidia driver)

After update, I disabled hotplug, with :
Section "ServerFlags"
Option "AutoAddDevices" "False"
EndSection
kdm starts normally, i can write login/password, i see kde boot splash, then desktop shows and after about 10 secs it is killed and goes back to login screen.
I think the problem is with hal, because (Xorg.0.log):

Well, I rebuilded my xorg.conf with
Xorg -configure
and it started working, even with evdev driver, just had to add
Option "AllowEmptyInput" "False"
in section "ServerFlags". I'm not really sure what caused that error.

[SOLVED] KDE won't remember window size or position

Everytime I start dolphin its a small window, or if I open anything with kate the window is only 5 lines long. How can I have kde always remember the window sizes it was previously at?

There are tons of options there, have fun.

Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

[Solved] KDE won't install

I am installing ArchLinux for the first time, I am using an old Acer latop. I downloaded the base CD and then followed the instruction from the Wiki and got through to the end with a working X system. I wanted to install KDE so I entered the following at the command line
pacman -S kde
(as root)
This gave me over 250 files to download and install so I just let the laptop get on with downloading and installing the files. Unfortunately it failed to install kde (it did not even try, I assume because of some form of dependency) as It failed to download 9 files. The 9 files are
libpulse-0.9.23-1-i686.pkg
pango-1.28.4-3-i686.pkg
upower-0.9.12-1-i686.pkg
libcanberra-0.28-1-i686.pkg
libffi-3.0.010-1-i686.pkg
telepathy-glib-0.15.4-1-i686.pkg
pygobject2-devel-2.28.6-1-i686.pkg
python2-gobject2-2.28.6-1-i686.pkg
(I have left off the .tar.xz from each file name)
The system tried to download load the file 6 time from different repositories and the failing message was either Unknown resolver or file not found.
Can anybody please advise
Tim

You should use the website package search to check the versions e.g. http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?sort … =&limit=50
These packages you can't find have been updated recently and you need to update your local package database to make pacman aware of the changes. Run 'pacman -Syu' and try again.
If you need a fresh mirrorlist, use http://www.archlinux.org/mirrorlist/

[solved] cannot boot from dd usb and cannot install 64 with unetbootin

hi,
been trying to install arch for almost 24 hours now. i just cannot manage to setup USBs to boot from.
first i was using unetbootin, but when the device not found error came up i tried using the methods recommended in the wiki. however, my hp elitebook 2540p cannot boot from the usb created using dd or imagewriter. so i went back to unetbootin and figured out the error was that the syslinux.cfg file needed to have ../../ replaced by archisobasedir=arch archisolabel=KINGSTON. now however, i cannot seem to figure out how to install a 64 bit system. when i run pacstrap all packages have i686 at the end, which i assume means its the 32 bit one.
help
EDIT: ok i have now used 3 different USB sticks and run
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
on them. plugging them into the 2540p the laptop just wont boot. it wont get past the first hp screen, where i normally press esc to enter the menu so i can choose boot options. the usb just blinks and nothing happens. this same problem happens with imagewriter in windows.

Which image did you use?
i wrote exactly
sudo dd if=~/Downloads/archlinux-2012.07.15-netinstall-dual.iso of=/dev/sdd
as mentioned in the edit above, the computer wont get past the hp screen where one gets the option to press the esc key... the usb just blinks and nothing happens...
EDIT:
no the usb was not mounted...
the image was checked with both sha1sum and md5sum...
EDIT2:
ok so i think i am in... i reformatted the usb with fat filesystem, and then went through the second instructions from the wiki, ie installing "Without overwriting the USB stick"... But i am still wondering why i couldnt just do the normal dd method. Is it that the hp bios cannot read certain filesystems?

Certain USB and firewire devices no longer recognized

I am going to make a solid attempt to communicate the problem, I'm led to believe that there are some configuration settings that need to be corrected to solve this, though I am not able to find it.
The problem:
(what led up to it) My SSD was knocked out of commission do to plugging in a 'newer technology' 7-port USB hub that had its power supply disconnected. The computer froze, then would not boot. Applecare originally suspected the logic board but found the ssd was knocked out. They reported everything else was fine and the laptop was back in my possesion. I sent in the SSD for warranty replacement and put the original hard drive in. This is when the problem I am having now started.
For some some, a Lacie Rugged FW/USB drive shows up as an unknown device. The USB logitect c910 webcam will not register at all, and the Saffire 6 USB sound card is receiving power with the amp inputs/outputs working...but does not show up in the system preferences for sound. -- There is a second 2TB USB drive (also a rugged lacie) that mounts to the desktop occasionally, but on most reboots it doesn't show up, even in disk utility. When it does show up it appears to be working fine.
As a note:
- ALL of the above mentioned devices work properly on my father's PC.
- USB devices like my iPod, 8gb flash drives, new Belkin slim 7-port hub, all usb midi controllers, and an external CD burner work without issue
What I have already tried (several times):
-- repairing disk permissions and repair disk in disk utility
-- updating to the latest software, and installing the correct drivers for the sound card and webcam. The lacie external hard disks have no drivers for Mac
-- reseting the PRAM
-- reseting the SMC
-- plugging them in one at a time, in all ports, and ensuring they all have the correct power supply and working USB cable
-- upgrading from snow leapord to lion to mountain lion on the disk had no effect
-- by luck, I managed to boot up from the 2TB drive which contains a recent clone backup of the SSD. The same problem exists.
Before I ever submit a question, I make a solid effort to research past threads. So far, I have found no additional troubleshooting advice beyond the 7 steps I have tried as covered above. I am still awaiting the replacement SSD drive from owc. Again, the problem devices are:
- Lacie Rugged FW/USB 500gb external drive
- Logitech C910 webcam
- Saffire 6 USB sound card
- Lacie Rugged 2TB USB external drive (sometimes it shows up)
All have the correct supporting drivers, all 4 are recognized in my father's PC. None of my closest friends own a Mac to test them on theirs. I'm led to believe the problem may be configuration settings-related..though I currently cannot locate where such settings might be. Otherwise I have no clue what the problem is.
I apologize for the length of this post, but my intention is to minimize misunderstanding and rule out the options I've already tried. Any insight on this is appreciated as my music productions depend on both hard drives and the soundcard. Thanks for your time and attention. If any more info is needed I will be more than happy to try to provide it.

Hi,
Thanks for your post! I took my ibook to an apple shop on monday to which I was told that the panic kernal that occured interrupted my software update and that the best thing to do would be to reinstall tiger. I did that, erasing and installing, and the problem seems to have dissapeared. I just wish I had read your post first! What was interesting was my mouse worked in the USB port but stuff like my memory stick didn't appear in disk utility. I also tried to replace the interrupted software updates with the Power PC combo one but that would not mount. I am not sure what all these means but if anyone has a similar problem to what I had, I suggest reinstalling the OS. Seems like a pretty weird and rare problem to have tho!

[SOLVED] Problem with privileges (nm-applet and mounting devices)

Hi,
I have a little problem after a system update made a few weeks ago. (At least I think it started after that update, but I am not sure.)
It's something related to lack of privileges or sth...
When I right-click on nm-applet icon some options are greyd out as well as when I try to add a new network - everything in the dialog is grey. But when I "sudo nm-applet", everything works.
And the next problem is: When I plug my USB stick/drive to NB it is not mounted automatically but I need to open nautilus, mount it manually and an "Authenticate" dialog shows up and my password is required. But why? It didn't use to work that way. I don't understant what might have changed.
I use SLiM starting my gnome-session.
My ~/.xinitrc:
exec ck-launch-session dbus-launch gnome-session
My /usr/share/gnome-session/sessions/gnome-fallback.session
RequiredComponents=gnome-settings-daemon;
RequiredProviders=windowmanager;
DefaultProvider-windowmanager=compiz
DefaultProvider-notifications=notify-osd
DefaultProvider-displaymanager=slim
(I don't use gnome-shell nor gnome-panel, but Gnome with xfce4-panel )
Thank you in advance.

Thank you, headkase, you were right about it! Removing "ck-launch-session" solved my problems. I also removed "dbus-launch" because I didn't have it there originally, I had added "dbus-launch" to exec line just today as I had read somewhere that it might help (it didn't)...
So, I'm going with "exec gnome-session" and everything works, thanks.

My pc won't shut down and connected devices are not communicating sucessfully

I have a HP p6741c with Windows 7.
My computer will not shut down anymore. I've had to do a hard shut down multiple times.
Also, my connected devices don't communicate properly.
I have a scan snap S1500 scanner, stamps.com scale, and an hp laser jed pro400 connected. The scanner and printer don't respond anymore when I try to scan and print. I have to manually shut down the computer, restart, then the printer will print docs from the queue that wouldn't print before but then the printer goes back to non-responsive again.
Please help!

I would recommend downloading CCleaner and running it on your computer to clean it up a little bit. That may help to resolve some of your issues.
Here is a link to the download: CCleaner
Also, are you running any kind of Malware or Virus protection on your computer? Both of those can cause issues with how your computer operates.

[SOLVED] USB memory won't automount

Hi,
I'm on a fresh (latest 2013/2) ARch/LXDE installation.
Although PCManFM is configured to au tomount removable media, it isn't working (contrary to Wiki's declaration).
As can be seen from the terminal below, when inserted, the system recognaizes the device, although mtab don't reflect the change.
Please advise!
Thanks

Last time i played with PcmanFM, it required udisks to automount stuff and gvfs to handle trash. Look if it's still the case.

[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
#/dev/cdrom /media/cd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/dvd /media/dvd auto ro,user,noauto,unhide 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /media/fl auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/sda1 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1
/dev/sda5 swap swap defaults 0 0

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?
