Bug#597474: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#597474: Auto-mounting of USB devices stopped working

Do you have an idea where it should be coming from? (exo-mount:7639): GLib-WARNING **: GError set over the top of a previous GError or uninitialized memory. This indicates a bug in someone's code. You must ensure an error is NULL before it's set. The overwriting error message was: Given device /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0041_3E54 is not a volume or drive That doesn't look good, but seems unrelated though. Yup. Trying to mount the device directly with exo-mount fails too: $ exo-mount -h /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_0041_3E54 So not just automatic mounting. I guess trying to mount from thunar by clicking on the device appearing in the side bar (does it appear?) doesn't work either? Yes, it appears and no, mounting manually from Thunar doesn't work either. It doesn't look like a permission problem in Xfce, more like a problem in hal or udev which wouldn't set the above informations. Do you remember a recent upgrade or configuration change on these? Unfortunately I didn't really pay attention so no, I don't remember any upgrades. I *did* try some (mostly unrelated, I think) packages from experimental a while ago (xorg, radeon driver etc.) but I'm pretty sure that things kept working normally afterwards. Also, I recently installed fglrx but a) I'm not using it atm and b) again, I think the system broke later - I'm not *completely* sure, though. Today's policykit upgrade didn't help either, btw. And I'm pretty sure this is related: I can't reboot the system from the Xfce logout screen anymore. These are what I think to be the corresponding lines from my ~/.xsession-errors: ** Message: xfsm-shutdown-helper.c:268: Using HAL to shutdown/reboot the computer. polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. xfsettingsd: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server :0.0. I'm sorry for not being more helpful here but I'm a little lost between all those layers (hal, dbus, policykit etc.) and I wouldn't really know where to look... cheers -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ You are not Grey Squirrel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Bug#597474: [Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#597474: Auto-mounting of USB devices stopped working
Okay, this is highly weird. I did some more research and found some hints on http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#USB_sticks_and_drives_do_not_automount_correctly - the thing that fixed the issue for me was to set policy at_console to false in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf. Since I didn't really like the idea of messing with dbus/hal config files I decided to investigate further. The comment above the line I modified said that this requires consolekit (which is installed on my system), so I reverted the setting and ran ck-launch-session - and my problems were gone. Interestingly, this seems to be persistent: even after a system reboot everything still works. I have no idea why consolekit stopped working (or why it works again) but I'll just pretend this didn't happen and close the bug. Sorry for the noise. -- Stefan Ott http://www.ott.net/ You are not Grey Squirrel? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Please read xfce4-session (and xfce4) README.Debian, which explain how to properly setup the system so it works with consolekit.
