[opensuse-factory] Cannot mount volumes on desktop (HAL permission problem)
Hi, I have several volumes displayed on my desktop. But when I'm trying to access one, I'm getting a dialog box saying: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy. Details say: hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000 This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64 architecture) running up-to-date openSUSE Factory. Is this a (known) bug or are they corrective actions I can try? I don't know if it's related but I can see an error message at boot time about udevd not being able to lookup the disk group. Cheers, Émeric

Just wondering, might it have to be with https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=223744 ? If not, sorry for the reply.

Hi Hugo, It doesn't seem to be related since the volumes on my desktop are definitely not mounted (as can be checked with a right-click to access the properties or the output of the mount command). Thanks for your input anyway. Émeric PS: Could this be a user/group permission problem? To which secondary groups should my user belongs to? I've tried to add the cdrom and disk groups but it didn't help. Just wondering, might it have to be with

If not, sorry for the reply.

I think you actually encountered: https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=221337 -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
You're absolutely right. However, what's the definite status of this bug? It's marked as RESOLVED but the last comments don't seem to confirm this, except for the last one. Since I'm not running a PowerPC-based system, it could be a general SCSI problem as stated in comment #7. Should I report the outputs of shal and the other tools provided in the bug report?

Its unlikely. Check to make sure you have hal with the appropriate fix. rpm -q --changelog hal. -JP -- JP Rosevear <jpr@novell.com> Novell, Inc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

rpm -q --changelog hal.
I can't find any reference to bug 221337 in the changelog of the hal package installed on my system. The latest changelog is dated Friday November 17th, 2000 and is related to CPUFreq modules in initscript. rpm -q hal says hal-0.5.8_git20061106-12 and my system is said up-to-date by zmd or the add/remove programs application. For memory, this is on an Itanium (IA-64 architecture) system. Does hal-0.5.8_git20061106-12 includes the patches needed to fix bug 221337? Cheers, Emeric

I mean that You are wrong, because they are any openSUSE version for IA-64. http://www.novell.com/products/opensuse/sysreqs.html For IA-64 they are only the commercial versions. Please verify. Only SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 is supported for IA-64: http://www.novell.com/products/server/sysreqs.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

No, there is indeed an IA64 build of openSUSE, offered by SGI: http://en.opensuse.org/IA64_Installation_Issues ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/opensuse/download/inst-source (Seems to be Factory only, no releases) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
