Upstream has requested to see the "/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf" file. thx
Created attachment 190962 [details] hal.conf
Time to get (current)hal maintainer involved. I know *very* little about hal and how it works. Here is the relevant upstream discussion wrt this bug report: 13:38 < rworkman> darkside_: is Tony the hal maintainer? I think (though I'm not certain) that your policies are too lenient. 13:39 < rworkman> looks like the "default" context allows everything, and thus your plugdev status is irrelevant. 13:40 < rworkman> Of course, that means I have no idea what's wrong in that particular bug report. 13:53 < rworkman> I think this is closer to what you want: http://slackware.com/~rworkman/hal.conf.txt 13:54 < rworkman> As a test, try removing your account from the plugdev group, logout, reload the messagebus service, and log back in -- then see if automounting still works. If it does, then your policies are too permissive. 13:59 < darkside_> ok, i'll check. thx I guess this could very well be related to bug 268727 ??
Okay, I'm confused. What do those errors have to do with hal? They're errors accessing the wicd dbus nodes (org.wicd.daemon" member="GetConnectionStatus") not the hal nodes. Gentoo recenly added dbus 1.2.12, which has a default deny policy. Everything that installs dbus policy needs to add allow for everything that needs access, with appropriate policy. I suspect wicd needs to do this, but I don't use it, so I don't know.
Thanks Dan for clearing that up. Thanks Tony for reporting. To anyone else that may see this. wicd allows the GUI to only run if you are in the users group. This is moderately configurable at build time but it is tailored to other distros that have a netdev group by default. I added a warning to the beta3 ebuild that says: * Wicd-1.6 and newer requires your user to be in the 'users' group. If * you are not in that group, then modify /etc/dbus-1/system.d/wicd.conf *
Maybe you want to use plugdev for this, like hal, networkmanager, and a few other things do? That seems vaguely less confusing.
