[gentoo-user] kde4: no hardware info without sys-apps/hal

[gentoo-user] kde4: no hardware info without sys-apps/hal

[Andrey Moshbear]

Now that hal is out of he portage tree and uninstalled, I've noticed
that the following occur:
1) no battery info (and other ACPI doesn't fare well too)
2) Suspend key is broken; must use $sudo pm-suspend instead
3) USB hotplug is broken; device notifier is oblivious to
inserted/removed USB devices

Solutions?

Not sure about the root causes or potential solutions but both #1 & #3
do work here.

I do have CONFIG_HOTPLUG=y in my kernel. Not sure what it's doing
anymore but it's there.

I do have most of ACPI either on or modular.

udev is started as part of sysinit.

Not at all sure whatever might be involved.

HTH,
Mark

yesterday): no battery info, usb hotplug seems not to work. I've been
messing around all day long, but I wasn't able to figure out: my kernel is
compiled with the right things enabled, udev is ok, everything is ok. Maybe
I'm missing something, but my idea is that it has got to do with the absence
of hal.

Do you have "udev" if your USE flags in make.conf?

While I did forget to include the output of emerge --info, udev is
indeed in USE. Here is the full output:

Check that the consolekit service is also on at bootup.

Besides that, the udisks, upower, consolekit, policykit and udev flags
apply here. Check they are on, particularly for kde-base/kdelibs
(emerge -pv kdelibs).

What kdelibs (and kde, in general) version(s) are you using?

Hal hasn't been needed for disk mounting nor anything else for a long time.

Consolekit has indeed been in init, but hotplug and acpi are still
non-functional.
I don't know if this is related, but the kde policykit thingy dies
shortly after login due to a buffer overflow in memcpy.

to be EPERM, which is probably due to Bad Things in policykit.

Here is a list of what I have installed and as far as I know, everything 
works.  This includes my printer, camera and USB drives when inserted.

Maybe compare those.  If you need me to, I can post the emerge info with 
USE flags too.

This one caused m,y hotplugging to stop working in KDE. The fix was

chmod o+x /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

It worked for me, no such errors.

ls -l /usr/libexec/dbus-daemon-launch-helper

MAybe your problem is slightly different. My laptop has no problems with
the default permissions, both are running ~amd64.

Found the problem: setuid bit was missing; chmod 4711 did the trick
