dear guys,i just remove hal use flag.

before removing it,there are some NTFS partitions(both win7&gentoo in my laptop) list in nautilus lef side area.when click them i can decide whether to mount them.

but now,i remove the hal user flag,nothing list in nautilus left side.USB hotplug device cant automount either.

Hello,
Why do you remove hal flag?

Hal is no longer needed as of xorg 1.8.

However, I myself ran into a similar problem and, in my case, had to restore it to default runlevel so that automouting worked again.

Have you tried mounting it via a terminal?

Gnome and xorg-server are separate problems.
However, automounting in Gnome 2.28 should work without hal.

So, your useflags on gvfs and gnome-disk-utility ?

For my concern, I removed only the hal support for Xorg-Server.

Xorg doesn't need HAL these days, but KDE, Gnome, & e17 still like it around. With HAL & udev in your use flags, xorg will build with udev but your wm won't lose it's other niceties. This might be changing, but I don't use Gnome or KDE so I'm not sure.

Add hal to your use flags and emerge --newuse world.
