Usb automount problem

hi,
I run kdemod3 on arch64: with: hal-0.5.13 and policykit-0.9
all works ok, until some days ago, I have this error:
Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.8" (uid=1000 pid=2537 comm="kded [kdeinit] --new-startup) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=2219 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))
I try changing some PolicyKit.conf
but error is the same...
can you help me?
thankyou

I'm getting the same problem with xfce (and I had it with enlightenment) so an answer to this would be super handy. I tried installing autofs as per the Arch wiki, but I get the same problem. Using slim as my login manager. This is the error I get:
Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.12" (uid=1000 pid=1519 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1288 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))

USB Sound Problem

I'm having a problem with my Bose USB sound system that has just recently developed. The system is plugged directly into the back of my Mac Pro desktop so it's not going through any hubs or secondary systems. When I first start my computer the sound works just fine. But after about 10 to 15 minutes of use the sound stops completely - as if the sounds have been turned off. If I boot into Windows 7 using Boot Camp, the sound system there works just fine with no problems at all, so I do not believe this issue is hardware related but is something associated with OS X.
This all started recently after installing Tinker Tool and then realizing that their latest version is not compatible with Snow Leopard. I followed their directions and told Tinker Tool to restore the previous settings and then I removed it from my system. Now, I'm having this USB sound problem. I think it's highly probable to be the cause of my problem.
Is there anyway to reinstall the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling the entire OS? Or, is there something else I can try to restore the USB function to Snow Leopard? Many thanks for any tips or suggestions.

They are plug and play.
I did try unplugging all of the USB devices and then powered off the computer and unplugged it for about 5 minutes as I heard that that sometimes solves USB problems. However, upon reconnecting the problem returned. All other USB devices seem to be working normally - it's only the Bose sound system. I tried plugging it into a different USB port in the back of the computer but the problem continued after about 10 minutes. Therefore, I am convinced this is not hardware related.
At this point I am thinking I need to reinstall OS X Snow Leopard to undo whatever Tinker Tool damaged. Is it possible to just replace the USB drivers in OS X without reinstalling everything?

Lumia 620 usb disconnection problem

Hi. Am facing a problem of usb disconnection while transferring data from my laptop. It's good for 1 or 2 minutes, after that am getting device not available on my laptop.
Also I noticed the charging symbol on battery is blinking when connected to usb, but ok when connected to power cord. Is that blinking normal?
clarify please

The blinking is not normal. I haven't run across any bad USB cable problems on Nokia phones but there have been some HTC USB cables that work to charge but not fot the PC connection. If you have another similar USB cable try it. Try other PC usb ports also

After upgrade to ios 6 usb connection problems with car stereo

Hi Everyone,
after ios upgrade to ios6 i am not further able to use the iPhone 4s as music device - having usb connection problems ("not readable"). I am sure, that the upgrade ist the culprit; worked fine before. My car stereo is built in a Volvo XC 60; the device is connected via the standard usb cable by apple.
Any Ideas?
Thanks

[N85] USB charging problem

Hello all,
I tried to charge my N85 with an [non-Nokia] USB battery charger (Lenovo 90W Slim AC/DC Combo Adapter) via the Nokia Connectivity Cable (CA-101) to keep down the amount of chargers I have to carry.
But except of asking, which data connection profile I want to use, there is no charging at all.
Am I doing something wrong or is the N85 only chargeable by the original Nokia wall charger?
Thank you
sicut

I just want to know whether someone else has this problem usb charging problems too or if only my problem, and to make know @sicut that he is not the only one with usb charging problems with his Nokia N85 and his Lenovo charger.
@sapporaby, is it "apple" a word taboo for you? Why "kensington" is not taboo? Why "lenovo" is not taboo either?
1. I have had every Mac made since 2003.
2. I am typing this on a Mac now.
3. I have had and still have every iPhone made.
4. Same with every brand iPod.
5. I am running Apple software right now and the Nokia for Mac software.
Is that taboo enough for you? DON'T ASSUME because now your taboo question is moot.
As for your the Apple charger does not work issue, my question still stands. While your Apple charger may have worked with your N95 there is no reason why it should work with your N85. Are they the same phone?. Is the N85 made by Apple? No again. Does the Apple charger supply the same charging voltage as the Nokia charger that came with the phone? These are issues that come into play. What is so hard to use the cable that came with the phone. It seems, and maybe I am wrong but you and the OP are making a mountain out of a moe-hill.
Just use the cable that came with the phone, in the USB port of your computer and be done with it. I am having a very hard time trying to understand what the problem is with using the cable.

N78 USB CONNECTIVITY PROBLEMS

Hy guys,
Since i've bought my N78 i've been able to connect the phone via cable only one time. After that, every time i've tryed to connect my n78 via cable my computer doesn't recognize my Phone.
When I plug USB cable in one of the USB ports, Windows XP gives me back an error that says "USB devices not recognized - One or more devices connected to the computer has not worked correctly. Windows is not able to recognize it".
I've reinstalled PC suite thousands of times,but nothing changes.
My phone has the 12.046 software version. I know that there'e a newer version but how I can update it if my PC does not recognize the phone, and hence, PC suite is not able to connect to the phone.
Many thanks for you help
m

you have another option in updating via Firmware Over The Air. you can do this by entering *#0000# in the standby screen and selecting Options > Check for updates. if an update is not available over NSU, then it may be on FOTA instead for your product code. this method of updating only takes about three to five minutes anyway. remember to do a hard reset (three-finger hard reset) after updating your phone to the new firmware.
so you can probably update from 12.046 to 20.149 or 21.002. USB connectivity problems are probably due to problems with the USB cable or the computer, i have had no problems at all with USB connectivity in all the time i've had my N78, even under 12.046 firmware.
let us know how it goes.

USB mounting problem

I have done my best to research this, but have not found a solution.
After a new Arch installation on a new machine (Dell Precision T3400) I am unable to change the permissions (even as root!) on files once they are transferred to the usbstick (a Code 1 error message is returned). Other operations, such as copying, moving and deleting occur as usual. I have also noticed that as soon as files are transferred to the USB stick, the permissions get changed (but not the ownership), as if whatever is reading the stick is also changing the permissions.
It is not the stick -- the same stick performs normally on every other computer I use it on.
fstab: /dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbstick vfat rw,user,auto,sync 0 0
(basically the same as on 3 other Linux machines I use, all running Arch).
When mounted, sdc1 has ownership root:disk. I have added myself to the disk group. /mnt/usbstick has myself as the owner.
Not a major problem, just slightly irritating.
Thea

Thanks, Pheon --
I just noticed I made a mistake in giving my fstab line, it should be:
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbstick vfat rw,user,noauto,sync 0 0
(so "noauto" instead of "auto" in the mount options)
As I indicated, this is not a USB stick problem (same stick works just fine on other machines) -- also, in my attempts to troubleshoot this, I changed the filesystem on the USB stick to VFAT -- previously, it was whatever the default is when it comes out of the factory, and at that time the fstab line looked like:
/dev/sdc1 /mnt/usbstick auto rw,user,noauto,sync 0 0
Same situation, i.e. changing the filesystem did not affect the problem in any way.
Any other ideas?

X6 8gb Usb Port Problem

My x6 usb port not working and i took it to nokia care to fix that problem and they told me that we don't have that type of IC to fix your problem and we can't fix your usb port problem .....if u can't fix the problem they why the hell your running service centre i am totally fed up with this nokia ....guys pls tell what should i do now

Can't they arrange for the part ? Insist on that.. if they agree, you may be asked to pay for the part upfront..If they do not, contact Nokia by using the 'Contact Us' tab at the top of this page and hope for a favourable resolution.

Usb ipod problems

It recognized the new iPod as "Unknown Device" in Device Manager... I went through all the steps I found in the Apple support network - and to no avail...
There's always that unrecognized yellow exclamation point on the question mark icon, even though the iPod is charging fine... What to do?
Thank you in advance
Ran Bleich

I have exactly the same problem, my 4g 20 gb Ipod will report a fully charged battery when I connect it to the Apple USB AC adapter (or any other AC USB power adapter), connecting it to my Laptop USB 2.0 port gives the same indication, however, the battery is not really charged, upon disconnecting the cable from the AC adapter or the USB port, the battery icon reverts to its former status (almost completely discharged). The only way I can charge this Ipod is to connect it to a powered Firewire port or dock the Ipod in my Altec Lansing InMotion speakers, I know the USB AC charger used to work before I updated Ipod with the latest updater, I did the update just after it became available, I am not sure if this problem was caused by the update or not, I don't usually have to use the USB ac adapter, so I can't tell if the usb charging problem appeared right after the update or much later.
It would be much appreciated if somebody posts a solution for this...

K8N Neo2 USB boot problem

Hi, I'm trying to fix my computer (it freezes on every operating system all of a sudden), and I need to use the USB boot to load Linux Live and Windows installation (both froze as well). The problem is that it'll take the USB just once in a while, and that is causing me a big loss of time to make the tests and a headache. First thing I did was memtest and I found corrupt memory, thus I replaced the DIMM. But the freezing is still there.
Do you have any hint? I know it's a double question but at least if the USB boot was working all the time it'd be a lot faster to load stuff and try to fix the problem.
Thanks for your hints!

First thing tell us what the rest of the PC consists of.
I didn't think the rest of my hardware would matter with the USB boot problem, anyway:
1.D BIOS
Athlon 64 3000+
512 mb ddr PC3200
Geforce4 MX 440 AGP
300W power supply
Maxtor 250 GB IDE
Thanks for your attention.

[SOLVED] xfce4 automounting problem on usb dev with utf8 encoded files

I have problem of auto mounting usb external drive contains utf8 encoded files under xfce4.
Using hal and dbus for usb device detection.
Heard that I need to add iocharset=utf8 under fstab or hal fdi configure files and tried them all but didn't work
usb devices with vfat always got mounted with default charset.
I found out that exo-mount is the one doing the actual mounting and that it is the one that cannot take all extra mounting options such as iocharset etc.
Have tried gnome to mount this hard drive and works find with nautilus option that let me set various mount options for each harddrive.
Is there any way to replace exo-mount with some other alternative mounting tools that work with thunar?
Any workaround will be helpful as long as I can mount my usb drives with prefer charset so that I don't have to guess all ???marked files.
Heard that xubuntu replaced that exo-mount with gnome-mount to handle drives with extra mount options such as iocharset.
but I am pretty new to configuring things and couldn't find the step by step instruction for this so please provide the complete solution.
Link to the pages that explain workaround would be nice as well.
Thanks in advance!

Found the patch for exo-mount so that it takes additional mount options HAL suggests.
https://bugzilla.altlinux.org/attachmen … ction=diff
Now my usb drive can be mounted with the proper charset.
Hope this patch helps others with similar situation as well!

[SOLVED!] On USB drives, problems with non-English chars and HAL

Hello,
I am having a problem with non-English caracters (áãàçéẽê...) on files stored on my USB drive.
On Windows they're created with the correct name. But on Linux the files have the non-English characteres replaced by '?' and are not accessible.
If I manuallly mount the drives using 'mount -o iocharset=utf8 /dev/sdb1 /media/usbdisk' the characters are OK, so I think I just need to get HAL to pass the correct parameters to mount. However I don't know how to do that, and haven't found any good solution.
I tried to build a custom kernel setting the default charset as UTF-8 and it didn't work.
Any ideas? I'm using x86-64, HAL 0.5.13-3 and my locale is pt-BR.UTF-8.
Thanks!
EDIT: Actually, this is not a HAL problem, but a problem with 'exo'. For the solution, I edited /etc/xdg/xfce4/mount.rc and added iocharset=utf8 to the [vfat] category.

I don't use Thunar presently, but I looked in the Thunar Volume Manager doc and I didn't find anything to change the mount options of removable drives. I am not quite sure if it's possible or not. Maybe someone using it can tell for sure.
But if it is not possible to change the mount options, a possible solution is to disable the Thunar Volume Manager plugin and to use something else more configurable to manage the automount function.
Personally I use the halevt package from AUR which uses configuration files in the xml format.
It's not so easy to use but is highly configurable.
But there exists other tools also.
I can help you with halevt if you choose that way...

Gnome automounting problem...

Hi,
I installed Arch few days ago and I still have few issues. Well they are not too serious but they are really annoying. Few info about my system. It's Dell Inspiron E1505. I have installed stock kernel 2.6.18-7, dbus (0.62-3), hal (0.5.8.1-1), pmount (0.9.13-1), gnome-volume-manager (1.5.15-4), udev 101-1.
My biggest problem is automounting of removable devices. I use gnome and I am used to that gnome volume manager mounts my cds, dvds and usb sticks. Well system recognised them, but I have to click on them to mount. I searched forums to find an answer and it seems that some have the same problem, but I found no clear answer.
The user is already member of storage group and this are my start up services:
DAEMONS=(@acpid @915resolution @syslog-ng @hal @dbus @alsa @network @powernowd)
Does anyone know what I should do to solve this problem?

Well, for one gnome-volume-manger shouldn't ever mount anything O.o or atleaste I've never heard anything about this. HAL is what automounts devices so they work for me . Btw what is with the "@" symbol before you daemons? That doesn't need to be there, try removing them and trying again. I just have DAEMONS=(hal), ect.

Solution to USB automount

I've had some problems with automounting USB-devices, and didn't find a solution here in the wiki or the forum. After some googling and testing I found this solution to the problem, and though that I should post it here for others to find. Maybe its old news though, or there are better ways to do this.
The USB icon popped up on the desktop but I got an error message that was something like:
error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0
destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1567 comm="/usr/sbin/hald))
I tried this solution in the wiki but it didn't work
edit /etc/hal/fdi/policy/preferences.fdi
add:
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
The solution that worked for me was to add this section to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf
<policy group="storage">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>

Isn't is 'user', not 'users'?
mount -o gid=users,dmask=007,fmask=117,iocharset=utf8,noauto,flush,user
Edit: Hmm, I've just checked and 'users' seems to work too. Sorry for the noise.
