Description:
"mount as user" won't work with hal 0.5.10. Since when I updated to the new hal version, I get a weird error when trying to open ntfs partitions via storage media in kde, it just shows: "TODO: have to rethink extra options" in an error window. It worked pretty well before... I checked my user groups and that the daemons are running. see also http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39426 |
This task depends upon
see http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39589
I did as #6, and it works again
My solution has been to just patch it on my own. It surely isn't the right fix, but all it does is allow again to mount the ntfs devices until the HAL developers "rethink the extra options" (you see, it's taking way too long for them to rethink such options, and this is a nasty regression, so the fix is good enough for me). I'm attaching the patch in case it's useful for anyone else.
In KDE4 there is non such option so the removable ntfs drives can be mounted only from terminal as root.
Maybe the patch Luis provided should be applied to hal to fix the "have to rethink extra options" issue until the upstream fix.
So again there is the "TODO: have to rethink extra options" error
My internal ntfs partitions in fstab are not mounted during boot and I cant mount them manually.
# mount /dev/sdb8
ntfs-3g-mount: mount failed: Device or resource busy
Same with removable ntfs drives.
# pacman -Q ntfs-3g hal
ntfs-3g 1.2812-1
hal 0.5.11-4
With 0.5.11-1 I internal partitions are mounted ok during, but external aren't (neither during boot or manually)
Anyway, my ntfs partitions won't automount with hal 0.5.11-4 (they mounted fine with 0.5.11-1). Otherwise everything mounts fine (fat16 SD cards, bonus xfs partition etc.). I'm using ntfs-3g 1.2812-1.
There seems to be an unrelated one introduced later and still unsolved (but I can't really comment on that one).
Probably this one should be closed and if the automount problem is still not solved open another bug for that.
