 Posted: Sun Jan 21, 2007 2:56 pm Post subject: HAL Security Policy? [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Attempting to get automounting to work, and running into the below error message.
I insert the Gentoo Install CD (same problem with other cd's), and get the popup dialog asking me what I want to do. I select "Open in New Window", and Konqueror then attempts to mount the CD, but fails with this message:
| Quote: |
A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")
|
This is with KDE 3.5.5, hal 0.5.7-r3, and dbus 1.0.2
I am now stumped...

There are no errors in dmesg, and all mount points will mount just fine if I mount from the command line (with or without an fstab entry).
Does anyone have any idea why this error message is occuring?

I had a similar bug. I was in haldaemon et plugdev groups but i was unable to mount any device with my user.
I had
| Code: |
<policy user="plugdev">
<allow own="org.freedesktop.Hal"/>
</policy> |
in /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf restart dbus and relogin. |

Forgive me, but your message is a little cryptic. Am I to remove the existing lines for the policy:
| Code: |
<policy group="plugdev">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.SystemPowerManagement$
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.LaptopPanel"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
|
To what you posted?

You could try man dbus-daemon for more information. It has a very thorough section on security policy.
Since I think ivman is how KDE does that (I'm a fluxbox junkie myself) you might also check here: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_ivman

I've solved the same problem in this way,try also adding your user to haldaemon and plugdev groups

Thank you, adding my user to both plugdev and haldaemon groups solved the puzzle.
