No floppy in media:/ under KDE with hal-0.5.7.1-1

kanpio · 2006-08-16 07:54:49

There is no floppy in media:/ under KDE (kdebase 3.5.4-5) with hal-0.5.7.1-1. Downgrading to hal-0.5.7-2 makes it working. Is it a bug or something wrong with my configuration?

Does the floppy device show up in the output of lshal (search for floppy).
Please post the output of the floppy device section for both 0.5.7.1 and 0.5.7, these sections should be different in this case.

When I have hal 0.5.7-2:

lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0'  (string)
  linux.subsystem = 'platform'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  info.product = 'Platform Device (floppy.0)'  (string)
  platform.id = 'floppy.0'  (string)

  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/devices/platform/floppy.0'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/floppy.0'  (string)

lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage'
  volume.mount.valid_options = {'ro', 'sync', 'dirsync', 'noatime', 'nodiratime', 'noexec', 'quiet', 'utf8',
  'shortname=', 'codepage=', 'iocharset=', 'umask=', 'uid='} (string list)

  list) info.category = 'storage' (string) storage.requires_eject = false (bool) storage.hotpluggable = false (bool)
  storage.removable = true (bool) storage.physical_device = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0' (string)
  storage.drive_type = 'floppy' (string) info.product = 'PC Floppy Drive' (string) info.vendor = '' (string)

  '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0' (string) linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/block/fd0' (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/block/fd0' (string)

When I install hal 0.5.7.1-1 there is only

/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0

there is no

/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0_storage

And when I type

lshal -l -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0 

udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0'
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/platform_floppy_0'  (string)
  linux.subsystem = 'platform'  (string)
  linux.hotplug_type = 1  (0x1)  (int)
  info.product = 'Platform Device (floppy.0)'  (string)
  platform.id = 'floppy.0'  (string)
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer'  (string)
  info.bus = 'platform'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path_device = '/sys/devices/platform/floppy.0'  (string)
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/platform/floppy.0'  (string)

What kernel do you use?

kanpio · 2006-08-16 21:15:21

2.6.17.beyond3-1

ToLo · 2006-08-17 17:26:41

I'm missing my floppy the same way too
kernel26 2.6.17.4-2
greetings

brazzmonkey · 2006-08-17 17:29:53

yup, same here. mounting from cli works properly, though.

m123 · 2006-08-25 01:28:58

Same issue here. Just updated kde and hal (pacman -Syu) today and the floppy icon disappeared.

Please note that a previous bug in kde was supposed to be solved in 3.5.4 http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120619

Look at posts 29 & 32. Could that be a hint to look at hal configuration?

jourdan · 2006-09-03 08:49:56

I just posted about this, except I'm using Gnome.

http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?p=190831#190831

Any solutions as yet?

m123 · 2006-09-27 21:57:17

A bug has been filed for this. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/5377
A new patched version of hal has just been released by the developpers and solves the bug. Thanks to them all.

Please mark this thread as [solved]

kanpio · 2006-10-07 11:12:06

hal-0.5.8.1-1.pkg.tar.gz doesn't solve the problem in my case. Or maybe you mind other 'new version' of hal.

m123 · 2006-10-07 14:47:53

Have you added the "floppy" module to your rc.conf MODULE= list? (Since kernel 2.6.18, if you don't do that, floppies are broken. And as hal 0.5.8.1 was introduced at the same time kernel 2.16.18 was, I guess you have this new kernel).
