[gentoo-user] USB devices and CDs don't get mounted automatically anymore

[gentoo-user] USB devices and CDs don't get mounted automatically anymore

[Alexander Skwar]

Hello.

Since this morning, Gnome (?) doesn't mount USB sticks and CDs 
automatically anymore. I installed/updated the following packages
at that time:

Any idea what might have caused this breakage?

Although sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r2 has been installed, I'm not
using this kernel yet. I'm still using sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r1.
And I have not compiled/installed a new kernel since then (ie. when 
automount worked and now).

When I plugin a USB stick, I see the following messages in kern.log:

So the system DOES discover that something has been plugged in.

hal is running:

I also tried rebooting, which didn't change a thing.

Any ideas about what might be wrong?

I'm on a ~x86 system.

I always used to be in the "plugdev" group and I still am a member of

How I hate that...

I now have reinstalled udev, hal & dbus with CONFIG_PROTECT="-*", and
now automounting works again. Even in Gnome. 

Strange.

Hi,

The solution is:
- unmerge hal
- delete /usr/share/hal
- merge hal

Strange, but working ;)
I did it today :)
