automount with ivman not working (11.2)

[micha_bee]

I don't use a KDE or Gnome, but want to have USB and cdrom media automounted by ivman. That worked fine with OS 11.1 (with the help of a selfmade "mountpolicies.fdi").

I installed and started ivman on a freshly installed and up-to-date OS 11.2 running icewm as WM, but an USB stick or USB disk is only automounted if ivman is restarted after every insertion of the device, or if it is present at boot time.

Is there a fix for that malfunction?

Regards

First you need to isolate the problem and see if it is happening due to some issues with ivman or the hal system.

After inserting the disk, examine the output of lshal to see if the hal system really worked or not.

By the by, where did you copy the mountpolicies.fdi file?

Same problem here. Original openSUSE-11.2 ivman seems to get no events from dbus/hal daemon (use 'ivman -d --noforce' for testing).

Some debugging (and comparison against 'lshal -m' source code) showed that the g_thread_init()/dbug_g_thread_init() calls where causing the problem.

The following patch (move up the g_thread_init()/dbug_g_thread_init() calls) fixed the problem for me:

Hello Peter,

your patch is working here (11.2, x86_64) too, thank you.

Hey chaps. With regard to this problem, and the patch quoted in this thread, I also have this issue, but the patch does not work for me. I have installed several systems to try this with. All are TEXT ONLY systems (No GUI). The only way I can get optical media to mount is to stop and start ivman, which is not really practical! The patch did apply OK, and I did a diff to confirm that manager.c had changed, and I edited the file to confirm that the code had been swapped around. I then compiled it and confirmed that the live binaries had been updated.

Surely this is an official bug? Assuming it is, is it logged?

Is an option for me to rip out ivman and then re-install it with an older version?

Without this most basic requirement of being able to automount media, I wont be able to use OpenSUSE, but dont really want to have to use anything else.

Any ideas ?

Cheers

Hello Gery,

for analyzing the problem can you first run 'lhal -m' and insert/remove a cd/dvd and send the output?

Second run 'ivman --debug --nofork' (stop the original daemon first) and send the output?

Bug (and fix) reported to Novell/OpenSUSE https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=576567 and Sourceforege/ivman SourceForge.net: Ikkes Volume Manager: Detail: 2945321 - ivman not receiving hal events.

On the Sourceforge page you can find a second aproach to fix the problem, see the file 'ivman-0.6.14-no_xmlCleanupParser.patch ' maybe this one helps.

Thanks for the reply. I cannot post all the output in one post as it complains that I have exceede the maximum characters. I have therefore broke it over two posts ! Note - The second test, I just redirected stdout to a file. The exit at the end was me doing a ctrl-c.

ivman seems not to get/handle any hal events.

Could you test my executable http://www.ciselant.de/test_ivman/ivman (i386)?

With which compiler flags do you build your version?

[MFS_Worcester]

Hey, great stuff. Your executable works a treat Is this your patched version following the compilation using the fix within this thread? Re: compiler flags, for the standard installation, ivman was pre-installed as part of the OS. I did not download a different version initially. For the patch, I obtained the src rpm, and then simply used patch to "try" to apply the patch. I then just did the normal configure, make, make install. That was it. It did not throw any errors during complile (other than some missing dependencies which I corrected before trying again).

Is this binary that you sent OK to use? It isn't a debug version that is going to throw loads of info to a file somewhere is it?

Many thanks. You saved us a lot of time
