The reason is that hal-device need to run as the root user, while the mounter.d scripts are running as the logged in user.

Need testers for LTSP thin client device popup in KDE
The last few days Vagrant and I have been looking into how to get LTSP thin clients to get a popup in KDE when a USB stick and other local devices are inserted on the client. The work and progress is documented in bug #575031. One approach we considered is to use hal to notify KDE about the LTSP mounts. This script should implement this approach. Can someone with a LTSP test lab test how this approach work when several users are logged into the same server and insert USB sticks on their thin client. What happen if a USB stick is inserted on the server itself? tjener:~# cat /etc/ltspfs/mounter.d/hal-notify #!/bin/sh case "$1" in add) mountpoint="$2" devname=$(basename "$mountpoint") halname="storage_serial_LTSP_$devname" cat
