hi all of you! since yesterday i'm facing problems with automounting. i use gnome and my debian version is sid.
when i plug my usb hd nothing happens on my desktop. :-( i tried to restart dbus. i tried to purge and then reinstall hal. i even tried to log on as root to see if it could be a matter of permission policies. nothing to do. in /media i have .hal-mtab and .hal-mtab-lock. when i restart dbus, it doesn't complain. ################################################## in syslog i can see May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 127840 512-byte hdwr sectors (65 MB) May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 45 00 00 08 May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: sdb: sdb1 May 16 09:59:53 localhost kernel: sd 18:0:0:0: Attached scsi removable disk sdb ################################################## while if i run "hald --daemon=no" i get $ sudo hald --daemon=no Runner started - allowed paths are '/usr/lib/hal:/usr/lib/hal/scripts:/usr/bin' Run started hald-probe-smbios (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-smbios', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-smbios exited Run started hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' 12114: XYA attempting to get lock on /media/.hal-mtab-lock 12114: XYA got lock on /media/.hal-mtab-lock in hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.UnknownFailure Cannot open /media/.hal-mtab /usr/lib/hal/hal-storage-cleanup-all-mountpoints exited Run started hald-addon-keyboard (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-keyboard', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Run started hald-addon-keyboard (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-keyboard', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Run started hald-addon-keyboard (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-keyboard', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Run started hald-probe-serial (10000) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-serial', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' Run started hald-addon-cpufreq (0) (0) ! full path is '/usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-cpufreq', program_dir is '/usr/lib/hal' /usr/lib/hal/hald-probe-serial exited 10:13:12.474 [W] addon-cpufreq.c:1363: CPUFreq not supported.
