 Posted: Mon Jun 14, 2004 2:22 pm Post subject: Automounting in userspace with ivman |
 |
|
what will i learn?
you will learn how to setup ivman to automount cdrom, dvd etc. using D-BUS and HAL
what do i need to do this?
you need to use udev.
and hopefully you hate supermount 
first, you need to have hal-cvs and dbus-cvs installed.
for that, you need some ebuilds. i made them.
but, to get them, we need subversion (you are most likely too lazy to download all files manually)
when thats done, we go into our portage overlay (/usr/local/portage)
and then we checkout what we need.
| Code: | cd /usr/local/portage
svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk/eclass
mkdir sys-apps
cd sys-apps
svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk/sys-apps/dbus-cvs/
svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk/sys-apps/hal-cvs/
svn co http://kaspersandberg.com/fluidportage/trunk/sys-apps/ivman-cvs/
|
great, now we have the ebuilds we need. then:
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" emerge hal-cvs |
then emerge ivman-cvs
| Code: | | ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~arch" emerge ivman-cvs |
great.
start dbus, and hal (hal implies dbus)
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/hald start |
no errors? fine!
then edit the files in /etc/ivman for your needs.
then we start ivman
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/ivman start |
great! insert a cd and look if it gets mounted!
(hooray! it works! (we hope))
but now, you might want it to mount as another user than root, to have permissions,
then do:
| Code: | | nano -w /etc/conf.d/ivman |
to suit your needs  should be very selv explainary
Trobleshooting
if ivman doesent work, stop it:
| Code: | | /etc/init.d/ivman stop |
and edit the base config
| Code: | | nano -w /etc/ivman/IvmConfigBase.xml |
disable fork, and set debugging to true.
then start ivman from console
and save the messages, and come to either #love-sources or #ivman @ freenode to seek help

What to do after this installment?
I was using supermount before and had set up my fstab to use that... What do i do now?
My fstab
| Code: |
/dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs noatime 0 1
/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 0 0
#/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0
none /mnt/usbstick supermount fs=auto,dev=/dev/sda1 0 0
# NOTE: The next line is critical for boot!
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
|

I do have a sour taste from supermount. I have installed all with no problems, but I have no /etc/conf.d/ivman file. Any ideas? B/c I need user permission. Maybe post it?

Automounting of USB stick isnt supported (yet).
You cdrom like should be like this:
| Code: | | /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro 0 0 |
and you need to edit /etc/ivman/IvmConfigMappings.xml. Remove the comment tags (<!-- -->) around the sample line, and edit it apropriate, i.e. change /dev/hdc so it points to the correct /dev entry (which could be hdc of course).

Okay, so now its installed and running. I have a DVD writer that I use as my dvd/cdrom reader. I inserted a dvd with a e2fs file system on it and it did not automount. I could manually mount it but that's not the goal.
No messages in the log file. /dev/cdrom is a link to /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target0/lun0/cd
I uncommented the /dev/hdc line in IvmConfigMappings.xml and tried the debugging mode. No output. I think hald is not reporting correctly.
Here is my fstab entry:
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,noatime,ro 0 0 |

I get this on hal compilation:
configure: error: cannot find pci.ids. Use --with-hwdata to specify location
!!! ERROR: sys-apps/hal-cvs-20040522 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 33, Exitcode 1
!!! (no error message)
well, using locate i found where pci.ids was, and edited the ebuild,
so the configuration would contain --with-hwdata=/path/to/file ,it seems
to have compiled. Cheers
ahh, bad luck again:
FATAL ERROR: Autoconf version 2.50 or higher is required for this script
Running autoconf...

i have autoconf 2.57, what gives ?

If there's no output in debugging mode, I'm afraid soemthings's wrong with hal.
Maybe try to run dbus-monitor --system, and insert a CD then, look if you see any new DBUS messages.

No idea about this, I'm not really a autotools guru. I was happy the scripts actually worked here and on other people's machine(s).
Nice it has been solved. If you know what caused this, please let me know on ivman-devel!

I figured out the problem compiling dbus. I needed to upgrade pyrex to the masked version. Now it emerges without error.
Restarted everything and still no automount. I tried the suggested
| Code: |
% dbus-monitor --system
signal interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=ServiceAcquired; sender=org.freedesktop.DBus
string::1.12
|
and nothing happened when I inserted the DVD. Question? Does my 2.6 kernel need any special feature enabled? Modules? Reboot after installing hal, dbus, or ivman?
Thanks,
[/code] |

No, this aint windoze, you only have to reboot to boot a new kernel,
/etc/init.d/someservice start (or restart) is enough.
The problem is, I cant get it working too  .
The debug doesnt show any messages, ill try the
dbus monitor thing.
Same output in dbus-monitor --system as Frisbee's.

Then you should get some output in dbus-monitor. Otherwise that's not an ivman problem, but a udev and/or dbus and/or hal problem I'm afraid.

| Well it aint ivman then, hal depends on dbus, dbus is silent, so hal aint the prob too, udev then ? |

hal depends on dbus, but also on udev, like this:
device added -> udev creates a /dev entry and /sys is updated -> hal detects this -> hal sends a dbus message to registered applications.
So, if dbus-monitor gives no output, its hal and/or udedv that's broken. Hal normally isnt afaik (works on my pc and on lots of others I heard of ) so I think (could be wrong of course) there's something wrong with your UDev setup...

This is a real long shot, but here goes...
It is a udev problem, or more exactly, a problem with the Gentoo hacks of udev. The problem is, that /dev is populated with all the devices _possible_, instead of all the devices that are actually on the system. So, udev doesn't make a new entry in /dev (Its already there!), and HAL doesn't send any message. And because Gentoo by default puts /dev in a tarball, then untars it on startup... I think you understand the problem.
The solution should be to edit this file:
I don't recall the exact line the should be changed, but the file is very well commented, so you should find the right line easily.
After that, it should work properly (Unless I'm wrong, which is very probable too...). HAL was meant to work on a pure udev system... |
