[opensuse-factory] HAL permissions
As you know hal is needed for normal operation of KDE3. Some people who run Factory with KDE3 have reported that hal now apparently has insufficient permissions to mount removable drives. While they are visible, they cannot be mounted with the following error: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result) Can you please point me to what package contains those permissions? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

I thought KDE3 was changed to not need hal anymore? We do not have hal anymore in Factory and will not add it back.

No. It needs hal for various operations, including detecting and mounting removable media. If to built it without hal, it is not suitable for use as a desktop.

Currently hal package is building in KDE:KDE3 repository for those users who want use KDE3 with openSUSE 12.1/Factory. But the default policy of openSUSE prevents using hal functionality. For example to make hal mount removable media one have to execute the following command: sudo polkit-auth --user $USER --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable
Please double check that you use the right KDE3 packages,
