Hi,

ivman seems to have broken on me... it used to work perfectly but now it doesn't seem to run actions when a device is inserted... i don't know if this was from a udev, hal, or ivman update

For instance, in my local user .ivman/IvmConfigProperties.xml I have:
Code:

    <ivm:Match name="hal.block.device" value="/dev/sd_card">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="true" exec="rox.add /mnt/sdcard 20 370 SD_Card" />
            <ivm:Action value="false" exec="rox.rem /mnt/sdcard SD_Card" />
        </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>


Which should add an icon to my desktop... this used to work

ivman still sees the card being inserted...
Code:

hal_interface.c:47 (hal_device_added) New Device: /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1406_2A4F
IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:152 (ivm_device_is_mountable) UDI /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1406_2A4F is device /dev/sdc1
IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:292 (ivm_device_is_mountable) Device /dev/sdc1 appears to be mountable
manager.c:977 (ivm_media_changed) Giving other programs a chance to mount...
manager.c:988 (ivm_media_changed) Attempting to mount device /dev/sdc1
manager.c:768 (ivm_run_command) Running: pmount -u 007 '/dev/sdc1' '1GB CF'
Warning: device /dev/sd_card is already handled by /etc/fstab, supplied label is ignored
manager.c:1004 (ivm_media_changed) /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1406_2A4F wasn't mounted, by us or by others...
IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:152 (ivm_device_is_mountable) UDI /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1406_2A4F is device /dev/sdc1
IvmConfig/IvmConfigCommon.c:292 (ivm_device_is_mountable) Device /dev/sdc1 appears to be mountable


and mounts it according to my /etc/fstab...
Code:

/dev/sd_card  /mnt/sdcard       vfat        noauto,users                0 0


So now the card is mounted... however the user ivman will not add anything to my desktop! I even tried switching:
<ivm:Match name="hal.block.device" value="/dev/sd_card">
to
<ivm:Match name="hal.block.device" value="/dev/sdc1">

still nothing... I also have an entry to add an icon on inserting a cd-rom that also used to work perfectly. I get the feeling that maybe name="hal.block.device" has changed or something, but i don't know how to find out

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
George

Code:
$ lshal

will show you the hal properties of your device

i'm sorry i can't help more than this
i have a problem of my own with ivman running as a regular user: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-443440-highlight-.html

that still seems to exist:
Code:

ivman has the biggest lack of support ever... no mailing list, a dead irc channel...

what happens if you remove that line from /etc/fstab?

Well, my actions dont work too. I tried to do smth. like that:
Code:

    <ivm:Match name="*">
        <ivm:Option name="exec" value="/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/sounds/gaim/arrive.wav" />
        <ivm:Option name="execun" value="/usr/bin/aplay /usr/share/sounds/gaim/leave.wav" />
    </ivm:Match>

But it dont works...Do I need to run ivman as a user to run this actions? Because I run ivman with /etc/init.d/ivman start.

that all depends where the config file is... /etc/init.d/ivman start reads the root configs in /etc/ivman

if you login as user and run "ivman" it will read the ~/.ivman configs

So it all depends where your actions are.

Unofrtunately ivman seems to have absolutely *no* support at all... and i truly wish i could find out what broke the actions

yeah, none of my actions work either, its probably nothing wrong with your configuration files. I e-mailed the devel about it and havn't heard anything back yet. In the mean time i'll try rolling back versions until i find a working version with actions.

It works for me with version 0.6.12. It should also work with 0.6.11 (latest in portage).

Some things which may be helpful:

You MUST use the exact block device appearing in 'lshal', not any symlinks - /dev/sd_card will not work.

You do not need to restart Ivman for changes in the config files to take effect (except IvmConfigBase.xml).

Here is the output of 'lshal --monitor' when I attach a USB card reader (with a card inserted):
Code:

usb_device_7c4_a603_0000064037 added
usb_device_7c4_a603_0000064037_if0 added
usb_device_7c4_a603_0000064037_if0_scsi_host added
usb_device_7c4_a603_0000064037_usbraw added
usb_device_7c4_a603_0000064037_if0_scsi_host_scsi_device_lun0 added
storage_serial_Generic_STORAGE_DEVICE_0000064037 added
volume_uuid_6336_3832 added
volume_uuid_6336_3832 property volume.mount_point = '/media/sda1'
volume_uuid_6336_3832 property volume.is_mounted = true

If you do not see something similar, then please say so. Of course, please state your HAL and Ivman versions too.

Here is an example of rules in ~/.ivman/IvmConfigProperties.xml which work correctly:
Code:

    <ivm:Match name="hal.block.device" value="/dev/sda1">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="true" exec="echo 'ivman: sda1 mounted' >> /home/rohan/.ivmantest" />
            <ivm:Action value="false" exec="echo 'ivman: sda1 unmounted' >> /home/rohan/.ivmantest" />
        </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>


The reason for the lack of support is quite simple: providing support for free and rarely receiving thanks is not rewarding at all, and I have other things to do which I deem more important and which require much more time and effort.

thanks for the response rohan!

At one time, it did work with sym links, because /dev/sd_card for example used to trigger actions for me. So i'm not sure what exactly changed to no longer support that.

But I will try using the exact block device appearing in lshal and see what happens and post back

Thanks!
George

Have you tried revdep-rebuild?

ivman mounting broke for me some time ago and the actual problem appeared to be broken pmount.

Okay, i got it to do an action by using /dev/sdf1 instead of /dev/sd_card ... but this strays away from the whole point of udev and symlinks

I really think there should be support for linking, or else i cannot truly create actions for specific devices.

I'd be willing to help in the coding if you're busy, if you could just give me some pointers.

Thanks for your help

The problem is that HAL knows nothing about any symlinks to devices (i.e., they don't appear in output of 'lshal' command). At the moment, Ivman only sees what HAL sees, and I'd prefer to keep it that way.

If you really wanted to let Ivman treat symlinks to devices exactly the same as the devices themselves, I can think of a fairly simple approach. When parsing the rules, whenever a rule referencing hal.block.device is found, simply use readlink (man 2 readlink) to find the real device node, and store that instead of the symlink. I don't really like it, though - it would be better for HAL to provide more information than to have to use special case code to obtain that information in Ivman.

Also, I believe you are wrong when you say you cannot create actions for specific devices without support for symlinks. Remember, you can match for absolutely any HAL property in an Ivman rule. I am sure you can find certain properties in the output of 'lshal' which are unique for each of your devices. In fact, you can get much more fine grained detection of different devices this way than simply using symlinks (e.g., you can invoke programs for CDs with a specific volume label, even if all CDs inserted use the same /dev/cdrom symlink).

Ahhhh okay, i understand now

In that case, i found a nice way of doing it... but i can't get it to execute the value=false part

i can also go by volume.mount_point since lshal shows this:
Code:

volume_part1_size_129744384 added
volume_part1_size_129744384 property volume.mount_point = '/mnt/sdcard'
volume_part1_size_129744384 property volume.is_mounted = true


Therefore i just made this property:
Code:

    <ivm:Match name="hal.volume.mount_point" value="/mnt/sdcard">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="true" exec="rox.add /mnt/flashdrive 20 160 Flash_Drive" />
            <ivm:Action value="false" exec="rox.rem /mnt/flashdrive Flash_Drive" />
        </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>


works perfectly when i insert the device, it adds the icon to my desktop

However, when i do umount /mnt/sdcard, it doesn't execute the action value=false ... rox.rem command

What do i need to do so it executes this command when i unmount ?

I guess this problem comes because of the lshal output:
Code:

volume_uuid_6024_F0E8 property volume.mount_point = ''
volume_uuid_6024_F0E8 property volume.is_mounted = false


mount point is blank when you unmount something... so how can i properly associate these two?

how do i properly do the readlink thing you were suggesting? I understand that readlink will give me the device name, but i'm not sure how to properly do this with ivman and xml

You can't do readlink with the current config system; what I meant is that you could actually program that feature in Ivman itself (using the C 'readlink' function call, not the '/bin/readlink' command).

It would seem to me that the easiest solution is to simply use some other HAL property which doesn't disappear when the volume is unmounted. volume.uuid comes to mind. However, if you use lots of different devices which mount at /mnt/sdcard and you want some rules which work for all of them, I think you'll have to go with something a bit more complex.

Consider this, in IvmConfigProperties.xml:

Code:

    <ivm:Match name="hal.volume.mount_point" value="/mnt/sdcard">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="true" exec="rox.add /mnt/flashdrive 20 160 Flash_Drive &amp;&amp; echo $hal.volume.uuid$ > ~/.rox_icon" />
        </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>
    <ivm:Match name="*">
        <ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
            <ivm:Action value="false" exec="cat ~/.rox_icon | grep $hal.volume.uuid$ &amp;&amp; rox.rem /mnt/flashdrive Flash_Drive &amp;&amp; rm -f ~/.rox_icon" />
        </ivm:Property>
    </ivm:Match>


Within the first 'match' is a rule which will add the icon (exactly as you've already written) and then record the volume UUID of the volume which the icon applies to.
The rule in the second 'match' will execute every time a volume is unmounted, but "cat ~/.rox_icon | grep $hal.volume.uuid$" will only return true if the volume unmounted is the one which the rox icon applies to, and hence the icon removal command will only execute in this case.

I haven't tested this, but it looks good to me.

very helpful response rohan, thank you very much

but I see one problem with it... that would only allow a single thing to be mounted at a given time, or else you would be removing the file when you unmount 1 device, but if a mounted device still existed, it would not have that file anymore

So heres what I came up with ... every time you mount, create information in a file based on the volume name, then when you unmount, search through all the files and remove the icon based on what is in the file. I also coded it to work properly with volume ID's that include spaces

This works flawlessly for me and emulates Nautilus ... i even have it dynamically placing icons based on how many are already on your desktop, the only thing i hard code is the column ... i also do not have a solution to knowing when to put things in a new column without dynamically reading the desktop size somewhere, but i'm not worrying about that

The only other thing i have no solution for is mounting volumes with no name... no file can be created, an obvious solution would be to create an Unknown file and append a number, and just label it Unknown, but i don't have this problem, if i get bored i'll do this some day

It works for all types of media... cdroms... flash drives... ipods...

enjoy

so it was brought to my attention that i could get overlapping icons and wasted space with my current implementation. For instance, if you insert card1 then card2, you have two icons, but if you remove card1 and plug it back in, it will goto the same place as card2.

Therefore I created a file which maps icons on the desktop and if you remove media it marks the spot on the desktop as blank and the highest blank spot is where the next icon will be placed.

Anyways here it is:

/bin/rox.add
Code:

#!/bin/bash
echo before
location=$(rox.place $2)
echo after location: $location
offset=$(echo "($location*100)+210" | bc -l)

   <X>20</X>
   <Y>$offset</Y>
   <Label>$2</Label>
  </PinboardAdd>
 </env:Body>
</env:Envelope>
EOF


/bin/rox.rem
Code:

#!/bin/bash
tmp_file=/tmp/rox-tmp

rm -f $tmp_file
touch $tmp_file

path=$(tail -n 1 "$1")
label=$(basename "$1")

spot=$(grep "$label" ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations -n | awk '{ print substr($0, 1, 1) }')
lines=$(cat ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations | wc -l)

head -n $((spot-1)) ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations >> $tmp_file
echo >> $tmp_file
tail -n $((lines-spot)) ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations >> $tmp_file
mv $tmp_file ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations

touch ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations

num_locations=$(cat ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations | wc -l)
num_icons=$(ls ~/.ivman/mounted/ | wc | awk -F" " '{print $1}')
let num_icons-=1

if [ $num_icons -lt $num_locations ]; then
   spot=$(grep ^$ ~/.ivman/mounted/.locations -n -m 1 | awk '{ print substr($0, 1, 1) }')

I use your scripts on my desktop and that's work almost perfectly here on a ~amd64 system.

I get this thread reference from your email from the Rox User ML.

So thanks really for this stuff that is really usefull.

Think to us, users of your scripts if you update your scripts in the future.

I fixed up some of the (ivman only) parts of this to allow for mounting things without a volume label (since my SD card reader doesn't show volume labels for some reason...). The rox shell scripts are great, though (so use them with these modifications to ivman configs for non-labeled volumes as well).

First, your IvmConfigBase.xml, this should be your mountcommand/umountcommand lines:
Code:
<ivm:Option name="mountcommand" value="pmount -A $hal.block.device$ $hal.volume.label$" />
<ivm:Option name="umountcommand" value="pumount $hal.block.device$" />

The change here is simply not putting quotes around the variables - they don't need them and without the quotes pmount behaves as if no volume label is defined, when the volume label is empty. Problem one, solved!

Next the modifications to IvmConfigProperties.xml, this should be the entire section, replacing what was posted above:
Code:
<ivm:Match name="*">
<ivm:Property name="hal.volume.is_mounted">
<ivm:Action value="true" exec="rox.add $hal.volume.mount_point$ &quot;$(echo $hal.volume.mount_point$ | sed -e 's|/media/||')&quot;;echo &quot;$hal.volume.mount_point$&quot; >> ~/.ivman/mounted/&quot;$(echo $hal.volume.mount_point$ | sed -e 's|/media/||')&quot; &amp;&amp; echo $hal.volume.mount_point$ >> ~/.ivman/mounted/&quot;$(echo $hal.volume.mount_point$ | sed -e 's|/media/||')&quot;" />
<ivm:Action value="false" exec="for FILE in ~/.ivman/mounted/*; do grep &quot;$hal.volume.mount_point$&quot; &quot;$FILE&quot; &amp;&amp; touch /tmp/found &amp;&amp; rox.rem &quot;$FILE&quot; &amp;&amp; rm -f &quot;$FILE&quot;; done" />
</ivm:Property>
</ivm:Match>

The change here is using the *mount point* as the name and thing to search for instead of uuid and volume label (as my SD card reader was reporting empty volume uuids too....). All this needs is a device to mount, pmount to mount it, and a mountpoint that it's mounted *at* - no labels, uuids, etc. are required. Labels work, but aren't needed.

This mounts all labeled partitions to /media/LABEL (i.e. /media/backup), showing up as LABEL (i.e. backup) on the desktop, and all unlabeled devices are mounted as /media/NODE (i.e. /media/mmcblk0p1), showing up as NODE (i.e. mmcblk0p1) on the desktop. I tested this as much as I could (SD cards, thumbdrive, and external USB hard drive) and it worked in all cases, as I described.

One other, slightly offtopic, but noteworthy thing is that if your external USB disks aren't automounting, create the following file:
/etc/hal/fdi/policy/mountpolicies.fdi:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- -*- SGML -*- -->
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="info.category" string="storage">
<match key="storage.hotpluggable" bool="true">
<merge key="storage.policy.should_mount" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo>

This file will tell HAL to mark these as 'mount these!' for ivman.
