Public bug reported:
After upgrading from 9.04 -> 9.10 /etc/hal/fdi/policy/* files are no
longer parsed.
I've changed /etc/default/hal to include DAEMON_OPTS="--verbose=yes
--use-syslog" and I see no syslog output at all in /var/log/syslog or
any other log file. Maybe this is a bug too.
If a hal expert can tell me how to trace hal policy parsing I'll return
whatever additional data is required.
I have a policy file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/diebluebirds.fdi which
contains:
r...@home1:~# cat /etc/hal/fdi/policy/diebluebirds.fdi
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.label" string="Bluebirds">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>
This worked perfectly under 9.04 suppressing the "Bluebirds" Desktop
icon.
After update to 9.10 this no longer worked. I've also placed this policy
file in a 10osvendor subdirectory as some bug reports suggest doing,
with no effect.
The output from lshal shows:
da...@home1:~$ lshal -m

11:30:05.769: volume_label_Bluebirds property volume.is_mounted_read_only = true
11:30:05.772: volume_label_Bluebirds property volume.is_mounted = true
Changing key=volume.label to key=volume.mount_point +
string="/media/Bluebirds" has no effect either.
