I managed to fix the eject button not ejecting an automounted CD. In my /etc/conf.d/ivman file I had set:
| Code: | | export IVUSER="grimjed" |
ie: non-root user. I set:
| Code: | | export IVUSER="root" |
and now the CD umounts and ejects properly. With export IVGROUP="users" , I haven't run into any other problems so far.
Just thought this may help someone. Can anyone tell me how I should set up permissions so that I can automount and umount CDs as per /etc/conf.d/ivman as a non-root user? This appears like a permissions problem to me. |

I cant seem to get this to work
Wanted to make sure I had pure udev system. Steps I took:
/etc/config.d/rc -
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"
RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP="no"
compiled my kernel with no devfs.
added gentoo=nodevfs to grub
booted to a live cd and deleted all files in the gentoo /dev directory(except null and console)
Then booted and wrote my own udev rule:
#RF Mouse
BUS="usb", SYSFS{product}="U+P RF Mouse Receiver", NAME="%k", SYMLINK="rodent"
plugged in my mouse - /dev/rodent appears unplug and its gone.
Does this mean I have a pure udev system? How else can I check? I read these pages:
http://www.reactivated.net/udevrules.php
http://webpages.charter.net/decibelshelp/LinuxHelp_UDEVPrimer.html#UDEV
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/udev-guide.xml
got everything to compiled ok.
#/etc/init.d/hald start
dbus starts up fine
#/etc/init.d/ivman start
I says Automount starting and "locks" up there. Waited 3 hours and no joy. cut the prog off then
#ivman
Ikke's Volume Manager, http://ivman.sf.net
nothing else just locks there.
tried
#dbus-monitor --system
loaded a cdrom - nothing
plugged in my mouse - /dev/rodent shows up in /dev
nothing from dbus-monitor --system
So I question is do I have a pure udev system. If not what is wrong or what else can I try?

Just a thought. I had a similar problem, but not identical. Check your settings /etc/ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml:
| Code: | name="fork" value="true"
name="debug" value="false" |
Sorry if this is an obvious one. I found with fork set to false and debug set to true, I could not start the ivman service. Just hung... |

thanks that worked automount start now.
Still now joy getting it to mount.
I started up the dbus monitor
# dbus-monitor --system
pop my cdrom in and nothing
unplug and plug in my mouse - nothing
plug in a usb joystick - nothing
any ideas?
EDIT:
got this from my logs:

I'm sorry to say, no. I ran into a lot of problems getting this to work. I also did | Quote: | etc/config.d/rc -
RC_DEVICE_TARBALL="no"
RC_DEVFSD_STARTUP="no" |
and got udev working. I've read every entry in this thread. I can only recommend you recheck your kernel settings. Check rc-update:
| Code: | rc-update add dbus default
rc-update add hald default
rc-update add ivman default |
I removed autofs:
| Code: | | rc-update del autofs default |
Right now, in my /etc/conf.d/ivman I have:
| Code: | | export IVUSER="root" |
and
| Code: | | export IVGROUP="users" |
I find I can automount and umount data CDs with the CD eject button. Music CDs will automatically play but I can't eject (using the CD player's eject button.) I must su and issue the "eject" command. As I mentioned earlier, seems I have a permissions issue.
I have to admit, I wouldn't have the nerve to delete everything under /dev. I thought about it, but I didn't know the repercussions. I followed Redeeman's original guide and used his sources. I had to run the patch mentioned in Bug 468. The patch appeared to fix the difficulties I had. Sorry I'm not much help. Good luck. |

Thanks again grimjed
but no joy here. I almost sure I have a pure udev system. Cant see how I dont. I did an original install as a udev system.
#dbus-monitor --system
still displays nothing when i do a cdrom,joystick,usb mouse, nada.
I'll use the old method

No
Ok, I'm back. I got another project too in the meantime (thanks redeeman), so I cant work fulltime on this.
Some people posted patches here: great, maybe I'll put them into CVS.
If (like those patch creators) some people in here know how to code (C) and are willing to work on this (you really dont have to be a guru), PLEASE let me know, I need people to work with. It is impossible for me to do this all alone. We got a new design ready, some parts of code have already been written... The glue still has to be done tough. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE contact me. It wont take much of your time.
If I don't find any co-devs maybe I'll be urged (SP?) to drop this project, caus its just impossible for me (due to Real Life things) to put all time needed to maintain this into it.
Thanks.

Hi, I'm trying to setup ivman on another machine since i liked it so much on my first but am having problems.
lshal gives
lshal version 0.2.97
libhal.c 696 org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.Servicedoesnotexist raised
"Server "org.freedesktop.Hal" does not exist"
is this because i've setup udev wrong? or something, i'm lost for ideas. |

/etc/init.d/hald start
*Warning hal has already been started
ps auxww | grep hal
returns nothing so i presume hal is crashing or exiting somewhere
hald --verbose=yes --daemon=no
11:08:31.175 [I] hald.c:386: hal 0.2.97
11:08:31.179 [I] hald.c:390: Will not daemonize
11:08:31.184 [E] hald_dbus.c:1946: dbus_bus_acquire_service(): Connection ":1.8" is not allowed to own the service "X{
" due to security policies in the configuration file
that could probably be due to the policy wanting it to be haldaemon (is it not started like that?)
so i changed /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf to allow root and it works fine. |

I'm trying to get this to work on amd64 but have been out of luck so far.
First, hal-cvs fails to compile - this error doesn't look too serious, but the code just doesn't seem to be clean yet:
| Code: | gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -DPACKAGE_SYSCONF_DIR=\""/etc"\" -DPACKAGE_DATA_DIR=\""/usr/share"\" -DPACKAGE_BIN_DIR=\""/usr/bin"\" -DPACKAGE_LOCALE_DIR=\""/usr//locale"\" -DPACKAGE_LOCALSTATEDIR=\""/var/lib"\" -I.. -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/dbus-1.0 -I/usr/lib/dbus-1.0/include -O2 -pipe -march=k8 -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer -Wall -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wsign-compare -c -o platform_bus_device.o `test -f 'linux/platform_bus_device.c' || echo './'`linux/platform_bus_device.c
linux/multimedia_class_device.c:98: error: redefinition of `struct v4l2_capability' |
Second, when compiling, I get warnings about implicit function definitions:
| Code: | tools/Makefile.am:25: fstab_sync_LDADD was already defined in condition TRUE, which implies condition HAVE_SELINUX_TRUE
fstab_sync_LDADD (User, where = tools/Makefile.am:25) +=

}

Ideas?

Hi,
I cannot make ivman to mount my CDs.
On logs I've got these:
| Code: |
Sep 17 11:39:48 demon ivman: New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_jediacad_1
Sep 17 11:39:48 demon ivman: Changed: /dev/hde
|
so ivman is able to recognize my Jedi Academy CD after putting it to CD-ROM drive. But when I try to open /mnt/cdrom in Konqueror, I got empty directory.
My fstab:
| Code: |
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrw auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0
|
hal, dbus and ivman is from bmg portage (compiled just a minute ago).
When I remove CD, i got these:
| Code: |
Sep 17 11:39:39 demon ivman: Device removed: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_jediacad_1
Sep 17 11:39:39 demon ivman: This device ((null)) wasn't mounted by me, ignoring...
|
my /etc/conf.d/ivman:
| Code: |
export IVUSER="root"
export IVGROUP="cdrom"
|
and permissions:
| Code: |
raku@demon:~$ ls -l /mnt |grep cdrom
dr-xr-xr-x 2 root cdrom 3 sie 25 12:48 cdrom
|

Wow. After reading the entire thread and messing around with it for a few hours I finally have everything mostly working. Still having the unmounting issue other people are seeing so a couple of questions:
1) I have IVUSER="myuser" and IVGROUP="users" and fstab set up so any user can (u)mount a cdrom. If I put in a data cd it mounts just fine but pressing the button won't unmount or eject the cd, issuing "eject" as user will unmount the cd but won't open the tray nor will the button open the tray after it's unmounted, issuing "eject" as root will unmount and eject the cd.
If I set IVUSER="root" and insert a cd it mounts, the button then ejects but does not unmount the cd, issuing "eject" AS USER will unmount and eject the cd.
What is going on here and how can I get IVUSER="myuser" and either the button or eject as user to unmount and eject?
2) As I understand it hal waits for a udev event and then sends it to ivman which does the actual mounting/playing. What does dbus do?
Thanks for all the work and all the info in this thread! |

I patched the CVS tree, a 0.4 release will follow normally. Please test
Thank to Zatalian and El_compa for providing the patches, and genstef for pushing me to do this Please keep them coming.
I'll have some more time soon, so I'll be able to work some more on _ng. If you got ideas etc, please provide them.
Regards, and thanks for using this software, Ikke
