--Boundary-00=_QC+YN/6x+Pea7nv Content-Type: Text/Plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi! [ I've already sent this below mentioned problem to kde-freebsd@ where Alberto Villa had a look at that it. He suggested to send this mail to gnome@, too, because he thinks it's HAL and not KDE related. So here it comes ... ] I've a problem automounting an USB stick on KDE 4.5.5 and current. At the very first time after booting the machine, I can insert the USB stick and the stick will be automounted without problems. But if I unmount it using the eject button and remove the stick, it will not be automounted again if I reinsert it :-(. After reinserting the stick, I get a Error: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy: org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed auth_admin_keep_always <-- (action, result) It's funny, because HAL thinks that it's a 'mount-fixed' device and not a 'mount-removeable' one (which HAL reports at the very first time). So what's wrong with HAL or my setup? How can I track down that problem or is it already a well-known one? What we did so far: - we found out that restarting hald works but it is unconvenient, if I'd have to restart hald every time I remove the stick :-) - Alberto suggested to try pasting this into /usr/local/etc/hal/fdi/preprobe/20thirdparty/10- ignore-computer_storage.fdi (or /usr/local/share/...): http://pastebin.com/iiTVQARt But that made it worse - now the second insert is not recognized anymore Find attached some debugging output of hal, lshal, ... Please keep me CC'd because I'm not subscribed to gnome@! Many thanks, Christian. --Boundary-00=_QC+YN/6x+Pea7nv--
