[gentoo-user] Problems with HAL

[Christian Herzyk <gentoo@herzyk.de>]

Hi all,

I have a problem with external devices.

When I insert a CD/DVD into my DVD-drive I get the KDE dialog asking if I want 
to open a window ...
If I klick yes, (or try to mount the CD from konquerors media:/ site) I get 
this error:
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to 
this recipient, see message bus configuration file
(rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" 
member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedes
ktop.Hal")
On the console the user can mount the drive!

Whenever I plug in my camera (Canon Powershot G2, supporte by gphoto2) I get 
this dialog as well but neither gphoto2 nor digikam will find the camera when 
started as normal user, root can download pictures with gphoto2.

Now I got a new Creative Zen Vision M (mp3 player) it uses mtp and libmtp is 
installed, as well as amarok with the needed useflags.
mtp-detect as user returns nothing, as root it returns the expected data.
Neither Amarok nor gnomad2 find the player, no matter if user or root starts 
them.
 
So to me this seems like a problem with user rights or HAL in general, but I 
do not know where to look for it. 
 
 I would be very thankful for hints, as I am eager to use my brand new Vision 
M!!! 
 
 Regards 
 
 Christian
