Automounting in userspace with ivman

[Redeeman]

sorry i didnt answer before, by some odd reason the notify thing got turned off..

i have now comitted some fixed init scripts. which removes the pid.

with the problem about server being down, it is my workstation )
it is up the most of the time, but it happens to be down

i will get some hosting somewhere.

I did the first few steps in the first post to get the ebuilds, but when I try to 'emerge -pv hal-cvs' I get:

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies
emerge: there are no masked or unmasked ebuilds to satisfy "hal-cvs".

!!! Error calculating dependencies. Please correct.

So I tried to 'emerge -pv hal-cvs-20040522' and I get:

Code: Select all

Calculating dependencies
!!! Problem in null/hal-cvs-20040522 dependencies.
!!! "Specific key requires an operator (null/hal-cvs-20040522) (try adding an '=')"

Someone please help.

[Redeeman]

you havent placed the ebuilds in a valid portage_overlay, edit the PORTAGE_OVERLAY variable in make.conf

[Twink]

Just a tip to those having trouble with this, I emerged the breakmygentoo builds and had to

emerge kdelibs

to fix a QT Development library error message

and

ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge pyrex

Although I dont like using ACCEPT_KEYWORDS which is why i had the problem in the first place echo "pyrex ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords is much better imho.

What package needed this?

Has the problem with discs not being umount been addressed?

[eikketk]

Could you precise your question? Normally discs should get umounted on eject, yes.
Some CD players refuse to eject in the CVS version. Someone is trying to fix this. If you suffer by this issue, please use the 0.3 release version (ebuild is in the tarball), that version hasnt got the problem it seems.

[Genfoo']

Sorry, I was thinking about too many different things when I wrote that post.

What I mean is if the disc will be unmounted when you press the eject button on the drive. I can unmount and eject the disc by right clicking on the icon and selecting eject, but I get an error that says 'Unable to eject'. But I can't unmount and eject the disc by pressing the eject button on the disc drive and when I use 'umount /mnt/dvd' or 'umount /mnt/cdr' in console the desktop icon disappears but the drive doesn't unmount and I still can't get my disc out. The Disc Mounter utility in Gnome unmounts the disc, but doesn't always eject it.

I have downloaded and installed ivman-0.3, but I still get the same thing. Unless I did something wrong, which is always a possibility.

Thank You for your work on this! It looks very promising!

What package needed this?

dbus seemed to require it.

there isn't any support to run an external command when a disc is inserted is there?

...

Dennis committed some new code to CVS some hours ago, which could solve this issue. I didnt test it myself yet tough... Could you try that?

Can't you just emerge dbus-cvs USE="-qt"?
For data discs there is no possibility to launch an external command. In ivman_ng a feature like this should be easy to implement. Even in the current version I think. Maybe I'll add it.

Ok - just upgraded to gentoo-dev-sources 2.6.7, thus supermount has been removed so i tried this - in IvmConfigMappings.xml i removed the comment tags around the /dev/hdc line (correct dev entry for my cdrom)
In /etc/conf.d/ivman i changed the IVUSER and IVGROUP to match my own username/group, i am using udev and the output to dbus-monitor --system for when i put a cd in and eject it with the button is

Code: Select all

dbus-monitor --system
signal interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=ServiceAcquired; sender=org.freedesktop.DBus
string::1.4
signal interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager; member=DeviceAdded; sender=:1.0
string:/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_22_0-disc
signal interface=org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager; member=DeviceRemoved; sender=:1.0
string:/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/block_22_0-disc

my entry in fstab for the cdrom drive is

Code: Select all

/dev/hdc                /mnt/cdrom      iso9660         noauto,ro,users         0 0

yet ivman will not automount the cd - any ideas?

cheers

[eikketk]

Could you set "fork" to "false" and "debug" to "true" in IvmConfigBase.xml, run 'ivman' in a console window and look at the output? Maybe you can get somethin out of that...
If not, please post the output (when inserting a cd of course)

aha - cheers, unlike the person earlier in the thread who needed /dev/hdc and not /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 i needed /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 in my fstab - works a charm

cheers!

Any tips on how to do that. A web link where I can read up on it would be fine.

[eikketk]

Actually, just emerge ivman-cvs again (using the updated sources, which will be fetched automatically), etc-update, and try if you can eject
If not -> please also try running with 'debug' to 'true' and fork' to 'false', in a console.

the newest cvs causes trouble when for me when compiling.

Code: Select all

configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: error: cannot find input file: Makefile.in

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/ivman-cvs-20040524 failed.
!!! Function econf, Line 365, Exitcode 1
!!! econf failed

[eikketk]

Thats a known 'bug', altough its not really a bug.
2 solutions: get automake 1.8.3 (1.8.5 wont work, need an autotools guru ), or alter the ebuild, add 'WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7"' in front of ./autogen.sh

[dkure]

like so???

Code: Select all

src_compile() {
    cd ${S}

    WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7"
    ./autogen.sh
    econf `use_enable debug` || die
    emake || die
}

or above that part??
if thats right, i still get the same error.

[eikketk]

...

Code: Select all

src_compile() {
    cd ${S}

    WANT_AUTOMAKE="1.7" ./autogen.sh
    econf `use_enable debug` || die
    emake || die
}

[dkure]

the compile worked fine with the line modified properly.

However ejecting the cd still causes issues.

I still cant press the eject button and the cd pop out.

However when i set forking to false and debug to true it works :/

out is like so.

Just downloaded the new ebuilds dated jun 20 2004. when I attempt to emerge it, it fails looking for fluidcvs.eclass which does not exist. Any ideas.

WooHoo!!! It works! I push the eject button on the drive and the disc gets unmounted and ejected.

Thank You!

About the ejecting problem: I have an idea of what *can* be the problem, need to investigate it a little tough, and dont have plenty of time at the moment, sorry.

Please try using the 0.3 release, that seems to work for people experiencing eject problems. You won't have auto-dvd-playback tough.

has anyone noticed a pause during boot with lvman set to start in the default boot level? laptop would stard dbus,HAL and ivman, then move onto i2c at which point it would pause for a min or two then continue - removing the 3 from my default runlevel removed the pause...
