[gentoo-user] kde-4 device detection

[gentoo-user] kde-4 device detection

[Andrés Becerra Sandoval]

Hello,

Recently, perhaps a week ago, my kde-4.6.3 system stopped detecting
storage devices when inserted (CDs, DVDs, USB sticks) on a ~x86
system. Devices are not detected in dolphin, nor in  the device
notifier applet.

Is really strange, because my laptop (a ~amd64 system) has the same
kde packages and is working fine.

Is there anybody suffering the same problem?


Thanks,

I have exactly the same problem on my desktop, although my netbook works
just fine. I haven't got round to even thinking about looking for a
solution yet.

Thanks, at least I am not alone, Neil, is your desktop ~x86?

Both machines are ~amd64.

If at first you don't succeed, give up. No use being a damn fool.

Is it detected by kernel/udev? If it is then maybe it's a udisks
problem. Did you emerge a new version lately? Policy changes?

Assuming you're not still using HAL (in that case try to restart hald).

No, I am not using HAL, (I even have useflag -hal).

kernel and udev must be working fine because "solid-hardware list" and
"udisks --enumerate" show the partitions in a USB memory recently
inserted.

If I do: udisks --mount /dev/sdb1
the partition gets mounted !

If I do: solid-hardware mount /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdb1
I get the error:  Error: /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sdb1 has no
interface StorageAccess.

I have re-emerged solid, solid-runtime and udisks, and the problem persists.

I've seen this. Also "udisks --enumerate" wouldnt work. IIRC a reemerge of 
udisks fixed it.

I seem to recall a similar problem after building kde4.6 on one of my boxen.  
I seem to remember adding the udev USE flag - not sure if there were more.  
Then emerge -uaNDv world sorted things out.

The http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/kde44-46-upgrade.xml page 
suggests adding consolekit, dbus, policykit, udev and -hal.  I believe that's 
all that was needed.

PS.  I need to take time to make notes on such things ...

That fails on the broken box with Failed to execute
program /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper:

That program is installed by dbus and both machines have the same version
and USE flags of dbus.

Yepp, thats the error. I vaugly recall doing a emerge -1 dbus polkit 
consolekit udisks etc.

You may also need kdelibs remerged with the udev flag (if that was not set the 
first time).

Did anyone find a solution to this? Re-emerging the various packages
mentioned made no difference, and it gives the same error run as root, so
permissions aren't the issue.

Yes, the devices appear in /dev and are mountable.

It's is not, it isn't ain't, and it's it's, not its, if you mean it
is.  If you don't, it's its.  Then too, it's hers.  It isn't her's.  It
isn't our's either.  It's ours, and likewise yours and theirs.

Hello,

The problem was fixed today after I updated to udev-171-r1,
parted-2.4, udisks-1.02-r1 and to upower-0.9.11-r1 !
