Bugzilla Bug 64855

Just upgraded to hal-0.2.98 but now g-v-m won't automount my usb thumb drive
and digital camera - however it worked fine with 0.2.97..
They still show up in Computer, but it won't automount them
Cds automount okay, just not usb drives
After downgrading back to 0.2.97 they work fine again

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge hal-0.2.98
2. etc-update to overwrite old conf files with new ones
3. rebooted

Actual Results:  
Drives show up in Computer on GNOME desktop, but are not automounted

Expected Results:  
Automounted them like for hal-0.2.97 =

Just so you know - have:
gnome-volume-manager-1.0.2 (and rest of new GNOME 2.8.0_pre1 packages)
dbus-0.22-r1
hal-0.2.98 (now 97 to keep automounting feature)

i assume you restarted your session & hal while testing 0.2.98 ?

yeah I rebooted after 0.2.98 was installed but no dice

Don't know if it helps but heres /var/log/messages on insert of usb-drive for:
hal-0.2.97:

Would seem hald is not "running" although is in runlevel...
is the init,d/hald script broken??

just added gnome-volume-manager-1.0.2-r1 that should fix these problems, please
test

"by golly I think he's got it!"
Yeah the updated g-v-m works as it should with hal-0.2.98.
Thanks foser.
