No automount with hal-0.5.9_git20070807-7.4 external USB stick nor HD
Last modified: 2007-08-11 18:28:01 UTC
Automount doesn't work with hal-0.5.9_git20070807-7.4. Fat32 USB stick automounted OK (with rw) under earlier version hal-0.58_git200704021230_sl@i586. Specifics: After updating to hal-0.5.9_git20070807-7.4, my USB Fat32 memory stick was no longer auto mounted. Error message: "hal-storage-mount-removeable no <--action result". With new hal, I can (via konsole) manually mount it as ro, but not as rw. Similar hal-0.5.9_git20070807-7.4 behaviour with external 500GByte Maxtor NTFS formatted drive. (I get error "hal-storage-mount-removeable no <--action result"). If I load ntfs-3g driver, I can via konsole manually mount (with rw). History with openSUSE with these two hardware devices: * USB memorystick (VFAT) auto mounts OK under SuSE-10.0, 10.1 and 10.2 with rw. * Maxtor 500 GB External NTFS drive automounts OK under SuSE-10.1 and 10.2 with ro (using NTFS driver. I haven't tried 10.0 with it). * Maxtor 500 GB External NTFS manually mounts OK under 10.2 with NTFS-3G driver. With hal, as a minimum: - external FAT32 should automount as rw - external NTFS should automount as ro and preferably as rw. My irc / suse-forum handle: oldcpu
Forgot to mention above in original bug report - My Desktop is KDE-3.5.7-5.
I am having the same problem with the new HAL installed on top of 10.3 Beta. When I plugg the USB flash disk, the following appears in ".xsession-errors".The volume uses FAT32. kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: WARNING: Property: info.capabilities for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012 doesn't exist. kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012 signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: WARNING: Property: info.capabilities for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0 signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: Device with capability scsi_host unhandled kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0_scsi_host signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: WARNING: Property: info.capabilities for: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 doesn't exist. kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.50 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.50 kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: Device with capability scsi_generic unhandled kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/usb_device_126f_1325_FF04071600012_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0_scsi_generic signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.51 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.51 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.52 kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: Device with capability storage, block unhandled kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_USB_2_0_Mobile_Disk_FF04071600012_0_0 signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.53 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.53 kpowersave: Received from org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager kpowersave: Device with capability volume, block unhandled kpowersave: org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager: uid: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5864_AE26 signal: DeviceAdded kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.54 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.54 kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5864_AE26: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy - hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result) kded: ERROR: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5864_AE26 returned hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result) ----------------------------------------------------------- When opening the USB flash disk, the following appears in ".xsession-errors". kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.33 kpowersave: Received from DBUS_INTERFACE_DBUS kpowersave: filter_function::SIGNAL=NameOwnerChanged VALUE=:1.33 kded: ERROR: mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5864_AE26: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy - hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result) kded: ERROR: mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5864_AE26 returned hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result) ----------------------------------------------------------- I also tryed with another flash disk and an IDE disk with USB cable (with reiserfs), and the same happened all the time. My machine is an AMD x86-64 with an A8N-E motherboard and NVIDIA chipset.
Just want to add, that in my case, the hal that comes with Beta1 works fine with the USB disks.
Further comments: Downgrading Console Kit from 0.2.1-42 to 0.2.1-36 (different builds), followed by restarting hal ( /etc/init.d/haldaemon restart ) made no difference. Same error. Reference the automounting, the automount of USB external drives doesn't appear to work well with hal-0.5.9, but it does function with 0.5.8. With hal-0.5.9, I also tested USB connection / download of still images over USB from Canon Ixus800 digital camera (with hal-0.5.9 installed) and it works well. Files can be copied from camera to hard drive ... digikam works,... etc ....
Further note - I have PolicyKit-0.4-9.2 installed when encountering this external drive mounting problem.
Note - I made a mistake in filing this bug report. Problem documented above was discovered in Beta1 and not Alpha 6. Please, can an admin change that entry to read Beta1.
