[opensuse] Trouble with Hal in 10.3
I am running KDE 3.5.8, and KDE is set up to auto mount things such as a flash drive, when I plugged in my flash drive the KDE deamon came up and asked what I wanted to do and listed: Open in a new window View Images with Digikam Do nothing When I told it to open in a new window konqueror came up and then I got this error message "hal-storage-mount-removable no <-- (action, result)". KDE fail to auto mount it like it should, after I mounted it by hand everything worked like it should but it would be nice to have auto mount working again. Is this a common problem with Hal or has any one else at least had this problem before? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I worked on this just yesterday. In summary, what I did was to edit /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf (check man PolicyKit.conf). I added <match user="(my user name)"> <return result="yes"/> </match> in between the config lines, putting my username above. It worked. Interestingly, this is on a machine I installed as a new install (except for home). Here at home, on 2 machines that were upgraded from 10.2, that is not in PolicyKit.conf, but automounting still works fine at home. Both the upgraded still have a permissions.d folder left over from 10.2, but they are empty. Anyway, HTH. -- Joe Morris Registered Linux user 231871 running openSUSE 10.3 x86_64 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
