 Posted: Sun Jul 29, 2007 9:00 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Where do I get HAL policies? |
 |
|
gnome-volume-manager is refusing to mount my volumes and no one seems to know why.
I've been looking around and found that my /etc/hal/fdi/policies directory is empty. Should this be the case? If not, where do I get policies from?

It's correct for /etc/hal/fdi/policy/ to be empty, if you haven't added any user-defined rules.
See /usr/share/hal/fdi/ for starters.

Interesting. Is there a user-defined rule that will mount removable devices?

I use this "rule":
Just create a file 90-user-methods.fdi in /etc/hal/fdi/policy with the following content:
| Quote: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<device>
<match key="volume.fsusage" string="filesystem">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge>
<match key="@block.storage_device:storage.removable" bool="true">
<merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">false</merge>
<merge key="storage.policy.should_mount" type="bool">true</merge>
</match>
</match>
</device>
</deviceinfo> |
If you write "true" in the tag="volume.ignore" for the key "volume.fsusage" ===> Hal will not mount hardiscs and will not create icons on desktop (gnome, maybe kde too). But removable storage will be mounted automatically (usb stick, dvd , cd...)
Don't forget to restart Hal :
/etc/rc.d/hal restart
P.S.: sorry for my poor english

I actually solved this one pretty easily. Once I looked in /usr/share/hal/fdi/ I found that, apparently, gparted was installed on my system during the huge world update and gparted inserts a hal policy which explicitly disables automounting. All I had to do was delete that policy and things were back to normal.
Thanks!
