Also keep in mind that UDisks and UPower are generalized as replacements to HAL. Probably shouldn't try having both on the same system, e.g. a one _or_ the other.
Help me here. Is there something that says _definitive_ to use one or the other? # rpm -q --whatrequires hal libnjb-2.2.6-96.2.i586 libkde4-4.5.5-1.3.i586 xfce4-power-manager-0.8.4.2-3.2.i586 but # rpm -q --whatrequires udisks libgdu0-2.30.1-1.38.i586 pm-utils-1.3.0-10.3.1.i586 And I was under the impression that ivman dealt with things like usb sticks and pcmcia cards
From man ivman
<quote> Ivman, or Ikke's Volume Manager, is a daemon to handle the mounting of media as they are inserted/attached to the system. It can also be used to execute arbitrary commands when a device with certain properties is added to the system (Windows autoplay style functionality),and to execute arbitrary commands when device properties change. Ivman uses HAL to monitor the state of your system's hardware. </quote> So wnat is invovled in switching over from hal/ivman to udisks ? -- All articles that coruscate with resplendence are not truly auriferous. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
