GNOME 2.16.1
sys-apps/dbus-0.61-r1
sys-apps/hal-0.5.7-r3

gnome-volume-manager is in the sessions' startup list with --sm-disable
parameter. It is not started.
If I try to start it manually, it silently finishes without entering daemon
mode. I tried to start it with --daemon=yes with the same effect.

Thing is I don't know where to look futher, I searched for some logs but
couldn't find anything. I'm running Gnome via startx, without .xinitrc. I tried
to create .xinitrc file to save Gnome output, but Gnome failed to start
properly (gnome2-settings-daemon was not found).

I'm open to provide you with more information.

Are you starting a session bus ? 
if not, add 

eval "/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session"

in your .xinitrc

As I mntioned, I don't have .xinitrc

System default startup script is used, it is /etc/X11/Sessions/Gnome (based on
my config). In this script, all xinitrc.d/ scripts are sourced, including the
one for dbus, which starts session bus (see /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc.d/30-dbus).

So yes, I'm running session bus (set | grep DBUS reports
DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS).

do you use pam_console or do you have a file under /var/run/console/${USER} ?
IIRC I think it's needed for g-v-m

Hm, not sure.

But as I have no such file /var/run/console/${USER}, then I assume that
pam_consolde is used. Actually, no files under /var/run/console at all.

Do you mean this file is needed?.. If yes, what would be the proper way to
setup system to create/use this file?

IIRC, pam_console is not needed for g-v-m (it used to be required for
networkmanager though). Could you try rebuilding g-v-m with your CFLAGS set to
"-O2 -pipe" ?

Thanks

Rebuilt. All the same sympthoms, going back to 1.5.15-r3

pam_console *is* needed for g-v-m, at least here.  g-v-m silently exits if
on_console fails.

@dang: gvm works fine here without it (running in the background, waiting for
me to plug my usb keys). Maybe it checks for it at build time and dlopen()s it
when you run it.

@Victor: could try and figure out if gvm either segfaults or quits with an
error? I suggest you do a wrapper script like this one to see what's going on :

(rename /usr/bin/gnome-volume-manager as gnome-volume-manager.orig and
create/chmod this script as gnome-volume-manager)

-------------

#!/bin/bash

/usr/bin/strace /usr/bin/gnome-volume-manager.orig $@ &> /tmp/gvm.txt

strace output for gvm

Note: I've already installed pam_console, strace done after the pam_console was
installed and Gnome restarted.

sys-libs/pam-0.99.6.3-r1
sys-auth/pam_console-0.99.6.2.3.6
gnome-base/gnome-volume-manager-2.15.0

I filed a bug upstream on this a while back.
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=359443

Apparently it has been fixed in cvs, and there is a link in the upstream bug to
a patch.  Perhaps that patch could be applied here?

Installing gvm 2.17.0 (which is not in official portage yet) fixed the problem.

Confirmed, can 2.17.0 go into portage or should I backport the fix?

patch to fix bug 154675

patch to g-v-m 2.15.0 to fix the startx session bug which is caused by
gvm_local_user, where ut_line is returned as ttyN rather than :0.

Note: I take no credit for the above attachment, I simply pinched it
(http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/gnome-volume-manager/src/manager.c?r1=1.152&r2=1.153)
and added it to this bugzilla so it's easier for people to see. I'm going to
create a local ebuild in my overlay tommorow (currently remote to my gnome
gentoo machine) and will post more details then.

(From update of attachment 104342 [edit])
broken, still working on it sorry!

Created an attachment (id=104430) [edit]
ebuild for g-v-m-2.15.0_p1, fixes bug 154675

Got my act together and wrote the ebuild to fix the bug we're experiencing

Created an attachment (id=104431) [edit]
patch for g-v-m-2.15.0_p1 ebuild, fixes bug 154675

This is the accompanying patch for my previous ebuild attachment

this works here fine... i started out by upgrading to 2.17.0 then found this
bug and it resolves the issue... you need to get this in portage since this has
been broken for too long

Fixed in CVS, thanks everyone :)
