Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

Hi guys,
When i insert a cd its automounted and the cd icon is displayed on my desktop (xfce)
When i press the eject button i get this error:

Failed to eject "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_RW/DVD_GCC_4480B".
Given device "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_RW/DVD_GCC_4480B" is not a volume or drive

But if i right click on the icon and click eject, it works fine.

Anyone any ideas?

Ive tried both with and without the following in /etc/fstab

#/dev/sr0       /mnt/cdrom iso9660   ro,user,noauto,unhide   0      0

however if i unmount /dev/sr0 manually, i can then eject it with the button.

Thanks
Kane

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

If i type eject into a terminal as a user i get

umount: /media/NEW is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
eject: unmount of `/media/NEW' failed

but if i run it as root it works. could this be something to do with it?
are there any other groups which my user needs to be part of for hal to work properly?

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

oh okay - at one point I had arch installed on a different hard rive on the same computer and it was working - on the new install its not and don't remember what I did - shrug - thanks for the info. It is just annoying. it will show the icon when inserted and if I don't click on it it will eject with the button - i click on it to view contents and it wont eject with the button unless I unmount it first. I use thunar on both my Fluxbox and XFCE sessions tried PCmanfm but it liked to crash a lot . . . .

Is there a way to set up a policy in hal to ignore my cd-rom drive, and use fstab instead?

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

is there anyway this could be patched with one of the patches on here:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2968

until its fixed upstream?

Given the recent devs discussion regarding patching for noncritical upstram bugs -- unlikely.  In principle you should be able to patch/rebuild a package yourself if you think it's necessary -- that's how Arch is supposed to work by design and philosophy.

Here is the modified PKGBUILD for fixed exo:

pkgname=exo
pkgver=0.3.4

  cd ${startdir}/src/${pkgname}-${pkgver}
  patch -Np1 -i ../eject.patch || return 1
  ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --libexecdir=/usr/lib/xfce4 \
    --localstatedir=/var --disable-static \

         '8c19efbf5f6f97c2d040817cad08fd2d')

The patch ("eject.patch") was taken from here (you can right click and save it as "eject.patch").  You'll have to copy the entire exo directory from the ABS tree though, because you'll also need exo.install file from there as well.

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

I finally figured this out and it is a very simple fix. Install pmount and ivman

pacman -S pmount ivman

*be sure that your user is in the optical and storage group

and then edit the rc.conf and ad ivman as a deamon and reboot.

Problem solved!

Works beautifully on my x86_64 Arch. Thanks for the PKGBUILD, fwojciec. smile

fishbowl42: Sorry fishbowl42, but that's not a fix. You just use pmount and ivman to mount and eject CD instate of Thunar. For a proper fix, I suggested you use fwojciec's PKGBUILD.

Hm... that's strange. I just reinstall Thunar with the patched version of exo and it works fine. Have you restart your exo after reinstalling the patched version?

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

Sorry Kane, I don't know why it doesn't work for you -- it works fine here on three different machines.
BTW, I just updated the PKGBUILD in my previous post and added some error checking to the patch line -- previously the package would build without errors even if the patch was not applied correctly for some reason.

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

ok, this is weird.

Ive just tried it again, im now using openbox instead of xfce (still using thunar and thunar-volman though) and its now working smile

Is there anyway to allow it to eject when thunar isnt open though? at the minute if i press eject after closing thunar it doesnt eject. Only when thunar is open

Thanks!!! smile

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

You should autostart thunar in daemon mode when you start openbox...  Add something like this to ~/.config/openbox/autostart.sh (or wherever you autostart applications from for you openbox session):

thunar --daemon&

Hopefully that should fix the problem for you.

So does this mean I have to copy all of this into one dir then use package build please forgive this ?

Re: Hal wont eject [SOLVED]

No, you have to use abs to get the PKGBUILD and other files for exo -- they should be in /var/abs/extra/exo/ (after you check out the abs tree using the abs command).

You're misunderstanding. You may want to read the ABS wiki entry to learn how ABS works first, but what he is telling you to do is to utilize both the modified PKGBUILD and the original exo.install file. The .install file will be located in your ABS tree once you create it by checking it out from SVN. wink
