Bug 275974 – sys-fs/udev-141: Automount and Cd/DVD drive with gnome-panel via hal stopped working after udev upgrade

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Renan Manola 2009-06-30 17:59:19 UTC]

After upgrading my udev to 141, I realized that the CD/DVD icon driver from the Gnome panel had disappeared. I also realized that the auto-mounting support for both CD/DVD medias and Mass Storage devices stopped working. After an advice from the gentoo-br user list, I re-emerged the HAL and things came back to normality. I think that after an emerging of a new udev version, there should be a message like: "If after the udev update removable devices or CD/DVD drive stop working, try re-emerging HAL before filling a bug report".

The interesting thing is that before re-emerging HAL, I issued a "lshal" and it showed my CD/DVD drive correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Let's see what our udev-maintainers think about this...

Well, no idea about what happens to the events after sending them to hal.
So best add hal maintainers to cc.

What udev version did you use before (that was working)? I guess it was udev-124-r2.

With udev-141, hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6 and kde-3.5.10 media detection does work.
What does "lshal -m" print while inserting a disk?

I can confirm that under kde 3.5.10 with hal 0.5.11-r8 and udev-141(-r1) media detection and automounting are not working.

When you type at konqueror media:/ , there are no entries anymore, even the harddisk partitions are gone!

Please attach "emerge --info".
Start "lshal -m", plug your device and post what it outputs.

As I said in the first place, my problem was already solved once I re-emerged hal (0.5.11-r9). In order to reproduce, i did the following:

 - Downgraded udev from 141 to 124-r2 and recompiled hal;
 - Rebooted system
 - Upgraded udev from 124-r2 to 141
 - Rebooted the system

So, once again my CD/DVD driver is not displayed anymore at "Computer" menu and neighter USB mass storage devices.

The "emerge --info" is attached.

Issuing "lshal -m" and then plugging a USB stick, shows the following:

Hogwarts rmanola # lshal -m

Added the warn-message to udev-145-r1.
