Arch Linux

Checked again, and pmount does work .
I originally set severity to high, because there didn't seem to be a workaround.
Feel free to lower the severity.

Can Confirm this.

Can confirm this but only if PolicyKit.conf is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- -->

<!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN"
"http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd">

<!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format -->

<config version="0.1">

<return result="yes" />
</match>

I get another error. You can see it in the attached image. It worked fine before updating hal :S

The new version of hal only works with consolekit. If you don't happen to use kdm or gdm as login manager, you need to add pam_ck_session.so to the login pam module and launch your desktop with ck-launch-session.

another problem, when I will shutdown pc (i'm using xfce): relogin! I'm using slim...
"failed to execute login command" and relogin

x86_64, confirm, used KDE 4.2.0.

Program can not remember the set. No value can not be set. Program either crashes or stops responding

i solved
in .xinitrc

exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session

I have only one message from console: polkit-read-auth-helper: needs to be setgid policykit

Please reinstall policykit in that case. Policykit should handle that from post_install/upgrade.

Solved with changes made in ~/.xinitrc (Similar to ugaciaka) :

OLD
exec startkde

NEW
exec ck-launch-session startkde

Added to wiki HAL page, http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL#Automounting_fails_with_.22IsCallerPrivileged_failed.22_message

PSP not mount.
I am donwgrade to hal-0.5.11-4
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/hal-0.5.11-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz
and it work fine.

Please, have a look a this solution.

I have the same problem as ugaciaka (ugaciaka): I use xfce4 and slim and when I try to quit and shutdown or reboot..... my computer will just go back to the login screen.


I fixed my mount issue with the Policykit fix but my "shutdown/reboot" still wont work unless I use the terminal commands of: "sudo poweroff" or "sudo reboot -n".

ROOKIE and westend fixed the xfce4/slim reboot problem in this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=496619#p496619

by adding this to the Policykit.conf (as well as the tip from the HAL wiki page for mounting):

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>

I can confirm that

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.shutdown">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>

fixes the shutdown/reboot problem, and that

<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options"> <!-- for internal devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>
<match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options"> <!-- for external devices mounted with extra options like a wished mount point -->
<return result="yes" />
</match>

will fix the device mounting issue

any news?

The error I described when starting this bug report can be solved by using ck-launch-session in .xinitrc .
However several other errors are described in the comments and it is unclear if they have been solved.
Since the bug has not assignee (yet), i am not sure how to continue.

what is the status of this?

The reporter solved the problem. Can this be closed as not a bug?
