 Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 1:02 am Post subject: Yet another dbus/udisks issue. [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hey there. I've spent the past day+ exhausting every option I could find / think of... so I'm finally turning here for help.
THE ERROR:
| Code: | # udisks --mount /dev/sdb1
Cannot find device with major:minor 8:17: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) |
THE BACKSTORY:
I've recently removed e17 and all non-essential applications (audacity, k9copy, transmission, etc... nothing life-threatening) from my system, changed to the desktop/kde profile, done all the necessary uDNv world updates and rebuilds, before installing KDE4 more-or-less fresh.
Absolutely everything works wonderfully, except my external devices aren't detected (by the device notifier, dolphin). They show up just fine in /dev but when I try to mount them in a console (as root and/or my user) or in spacefm (my fall-back file mgr), I get the above error.
I have tried an empty-tree world rebuild; I've tried un-installing and re-installing dbus, udev, udisks... as well as tested a few different versions of udisks (as kde4 pulls in an older one than is currently available) but to no avail.
[panic] HELP!! [/panic]
I can/will post my emerge --info and whatever is needed if someone has any clue about my problem! It always tends to be something so very simple, and I end up feeling quite stupid... but I would appreciate any direction with this. Thank you kindly!!

The Unabeefer,
No need to panic - I just discovered this here
| Code: | root@gentoo-gateway junk2 # udisks --dump
(udisks:1416): udisks-WARNING **: Couldn't enumerate devices: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus)
root@gentoo-gateway junk2 #
|
I hardly use the cl udisks, so I was surprised by this  I don't see a bug written on it so I'm curious if anyone else has this problem

Yeah, I get that too... but are you at least able to mount your disks?? I can only do that as root manually in command line... and I have to do any file moving/copying as root.
I'm hoping you're implying it's not just me and that maybe it'll get fixed soon! I like it when I'm not the only one with a problem.  |

The Unabeefer,
I'm not sure, but I think it's a polkit problem. I just got a message from pcmanfm when I plugged in my external backup drive about unauthorized something or other and polkit was in the message.
I always mount it from a script anyway and that worked fine

I remember seeing something in the messages when I re-installed polkit, but it didn't seem to be anything that had to do with my issue. I think I'll do it again and find out. |

This is the message I get: trying to access any unmounted partition from a bookmark. Otherwise I get a blank window.
| Code: | | Not authorized to perform operation (polkit authority not available and caller is not uid 0) |
It looks like there's something in the works http://cgit.freedesktop.org/udisks/commit/?id=203533a089ffcfc7c0238e75a5fa6603e0a42b42

Yep, as I said... something simple.
Just run this as root:
| Code: | | # usermod -d /var/lib/polkit-1 polkitd |
and either reboot or logout or whatever.
It's been mentioned in a thread before... and it was definitely in the messages for the upgrade to polkit 0.106 I just happened to pay more attention to the bit about adm being the preferred group over wheel now. Anyways, all fixed for me. Morphinominal! |
