[gentoo-user] KDE media ioslave, udev, hal, and ivman

[gentoo-user] KDE media ioslave, udev, hal, and ivman

[Jose Maria Alvarez Fernandez]

Hi to all!!

Maybe someone can give me a clue about this. I had this combination 
working perfectly 2 weeks ago.
But this weekend, trying to mount some dvd's, I saw that everything was 
not as smooth as it should be. KDE didn't see the dvd mounted, although 
ivman did it. Also, when i click the "eject" button, the DVD goes out, 
but ivman doesn't react. I've tried to reemerge udev, dbus, hal, ivman, 
and kdebase and kdelibs, without success.
I've also tried to do it without ivman, only with the KDE Hal support, 
but after mounting it, the kioslave doesn't show anything, and it kinda 
get blocked.
I don't know what was updated that has done this, and i'm really lost 
after the whole afternoon thinking about this.
I have:
- Udev-070-r1
- Dbus-0.50-r1
- Hal-0.5.4
- KDE-3.5.0_beta2
- kernel-2.6.14-archck5

I've aslo tried with an unstable udev version, but it made my system 
unbootable (there were lots of messages in the screen from udev that i 
could not stop, as if it couldn't log with syslog).

Can anyone help me or give me some ideas?

Thanks a lot!!

Actually I can't help, but I'm stuck with the same problem:

media:/ ioslave mounts for example my usbstick if I click on it, but doesn't
show anything when it is trying to load the contents of media:/sda1,
although it's mounted correctly on /media/sda1.

There is a bug filed in bugs.kde.org <http://bugs.kde.org> at
http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=113349 but it's closed as INVALID with
the conclusion it is a Gentoo related packaging issue of HAL and DBUS.

My setup is Udev-070-r1 , Dbus-0.50-r1, Hal-0.5.4 and KDE-3.5.0_rc1

The hal-device-manager shows the property of the mounted usbstick as "
volume.is_mounted = false". That's why media:/ doesn't get it.

I fixed it by compiling a cvs-snapshot of hald. Now the property "
volume.is_mounted =" behaves correctly.

http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software_2fHalBuildInstructions

I used /usr as prefix and installed. The init-script and the policies are
used from hal-0.5.4 package, i didn't need to modify anything.

Seems like the current release hal-0.5.4 is buggy.
