 |
|
Hi,
I have a strange problem with Hal that is preventing it from working even though the daemon starts up correctly. I have searched the forums and looked online and it seems that everything is pointing to having Inotify not enabled in the kernel but I do have it enabled and I know that I am using the right kernel.
Doing a `zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NOTIFY` returns:
| Code: |
CONFIG_INOTIFY=y
CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y
# CONFIG_DNOTIFY is not set
|
I have compiled Hal with the following USE flags:
| Code: |
[ebuild R ] sys-apps/hal-0.5.9.1-r3 USE="acpi crypt -debug -dell -disk-partition -doc -pcmcia (-selinux)"
|
My `emerge --info`:
| Code: |

I am running the following kernel:
| Code: |
Linux enkidu 2.6.23-hardened-r4 #3 SMP PREEMPT Sat Dec 29 03:43:59 MST 2007 i686 Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.60GHz GenuineIntel GNU/Linux
|
The errors that I get when I launch Hal manually are the following (I will only include the first portion of the log since the two errors repeat)
| Code: |
02:19:48.416 [I] hald.c:533: hal 0.5.9.1

Then at the end of the log are the following entries:

It seems that it is detecting the inserted media correctly but it is failing afterwards when it tries to communicate with DBus. Any idea on what the problem might be?
Is it recommended to have DNotify enabled in the kernel nowadays? The reason I'm asking is becase when I try to launch DBus interactively, I notice that it complains about not being able to setup DNotify monitoring on the rules.d directory.
I know there are a few other Hal related threads around but most of them seem solved or related to other issues (the Gphoto fdi, not having INotify enabled, not being in the plugdev group...etc).
Thanks in advance.

I found out what the problem was. It seems that plugging my iPod was working correctly so it was only a problem with the DVD/CDROM drives and after a bit of forum-searching, I found out that you need the following option in the Kernel (which is marked as a legacy option) for HAL to work correctly for DVD/CDROM drives:
| Code: |
CONFIG_IDE_PROC_FS=y
|
It might be a good idea for the HAL Ebuild to check if this option is set and if it isn't, to simply bail out or give a warning. |

Thanks for your 'research'. This did it for me as well, since make oldconfig let this option unchecked when I upgraded to Kernel 2.6.24. Now everything is mounting fine again.

I have not had any issues with hal. Nevertheless, I get this error message. If I set the CONFIG_IDE_PROC_FS=y still got the same messages:

Any hints on where should I look at? Thanks! |
