[cc'd to BLFS-Dev in hopes of further discussion on some of these topics] Simon Geard wrote these words on 10/12/05 04:41 CST:

I simply made a new rule, with that line being the only line in the file. I'm sure you could just add it to an existing rule file as well. > Regarding the dbus user session, I've attached a patch I've created for > gdm which starts this for the default session... you may want to use it. I intentionally left off the starting of the session daemon from the original instructions, as I wanted to get input from folks on this. So far I have yours and Stef's suggestions (though Stef's requires PAM, and he has a hint for this which probably needs to be referenced). The biggest thing is that --exit-with-session is passed to something that can be monitored, or the daemon will continue to run after whatever window manager (which includes a user-space tool to do the actual mounting and unmounting of volumes) is closed. This isn't critical, just kind of nice to have the daemon close when no longer required. >>It's also important that the HAL package is compiled with >>--with-fstab-sync passed to configure so that the fstab-sync program >>is built. > > Actually, I use pmount instead, rather than have HAL manipulating the > fstab file.

I'm using the fstab-sync approach and it seems to work well, though the hal daemon needs to be run as the root user. I'll start a new thread for this one in a couple of days if this one doesn't get seen, or noticed. > I assume btw that you're using some kind of patch for util-linux, to > make mount ignore the 'managed' option that fstab-sync uses? I'm doing what Jürg suggested and that is modifying the HAL policy to disregard (comment) the 'managed' option. This apparently should be discussed further as well. Thanks for your input Simon. Please feel free to continue/add to this discussion, as the D-BUS/HAL BLFS implementation is not finished and input from you guys that have actually been using it is imperative. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 10:41:00 up 17 days, 19:05, 3 users, load average: 0.20, 0.24, 0.34 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
