I don't know if my problem is related to this, but since the last upgrade (or upgrades in the last 24h) I can't use my keyboard/mouse/touchpad. Can't switch to a VC nor use the SysRq key (BTW, X is not stuck since I can see the blinking cursor on the username field). Also, it seems the keyboard stops working after either the daemons starting or X booting since if I boot with the "s" switch I can use the keyboard fine. Also, I don't have the needed packages to downgrade (was running out of space on / so I deleted them some time ago ). Any tips would be appreciated.

Don't know if it's related.. since this happens to me sometimes, and upon rebooting everything works.

Will this problem be resolved in pacman?

I've been mounting my drives manually because I believed a pacman update would soon come along to take care of things... but its taking longer than I would have thought.

I still can't reboot or shutdown xfce4, but the mounting issues have been fixed by adding to the policy file.

When ever I try to restart or shutdown from xfce4 quit, I just get returned to slim login. Having to use reboot and poweroff commands in xterm.

Any suggestions or back to hal 0.5.11-4 ?

thanks for the nm-applet fix with ck-launch-session. i was having the exact same problem as OP.

i had two internal ntfs drives that couldnt be mounted after installing hal-0.5.11-7
after switching back to the -4 version everything was fine... but now i gotta workout the whole network stuff again... it has all been messed up

sorry, but none of the above helped me in mounting the drives or even let hal them be recognized in the appropriate way...

You could try using GDM instead of Slim for a while. It works for me on xfce with hal 0.5.11-7.

If hal was working before, just grab the last hal from pacman cache, if it's still there.
This is the code I used as root:-
pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/hal-0.5.11-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz
everything works again now for me, but make sure to ignore Hal in the IgnorePkg for future pacman updates, at the current time.
It works for me too.

This code did not work for me. Only downgrading HAL yielded a dependency error, as the new version of networkmanager requires the new version of HAL. Downgrading both networkmanager and HAL also did not work.

I had to force it to skip the dependency check for mine to work:

pacman -U -d --force /var/cache/pacman/pkg/hal-0.5.11-4-i686.pkg.tar.gz

I hope this gets fixed soon!

hi,

i've downgraded hal by forcing it, but still cant start nm-applet:

** (nm-applet:2633): WARNING **: <WARN> applet_dbus_manager_start_service(): Could not acquire the NetworkManagerUserSettings service.
Message: 'Connection ":1.26" is not allowed to own the service "org.freedesktop.NetworkManagerUserSettings" due to security policies in the configuration file'

i guess its related to dbus policy, but i'm not sure what to change...
Please give me a hint

edit:
--done, it was just to easy......

I already tryed downgrading both hal and back to gnome-network-manger.
I still have no networkmanger icon at start up, but internet still is functional.
My NTFS partition now shows after going back to old hal, but my external drive still isn't recognized, can't manually mount because there is no /dev/sdb showing up.
the network icon problem: have you installed network-manager-applet?
the hal problem: try modify /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf as root
add the following between <config version="0.1"> and </config>
<match user="$USER">
    <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.*">
        <return result="yes"/>
    </match>
    <match action="hal-storage-mount-fixed-extra-options">
        <return result="yes" />
    </match>
    <match action="hal-storage-mount-removable-extra-options">
        <return result="yes" />
    </match>
</match>
where $USER is your username. restart hal.
and then modify /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/20-storage-methods.fdi as root
find the following and modify it. the two lines with <merge key> is what added.

<match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
<match key="/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer:system.kernel.name" string="Linux">

<merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
<merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>

<append key="volume.mount.valid_options" type="strlist">uid=</append>

the original post is at http://www.linuxsir.org/bbs/thread344125.html. it's in chinese.
hope this works.

Done this... but still cannot mount ntfs...

When this bug will be repaired? I would like to install Arch but this scares me...

For the nm-applet:
You need to start ck-launch-session. I updated my .xinitrc with this
exec ck-launch-session gnome-session
or
ck-launch-session nm-applet &
when I use xmonad.
What exactly does ck-launch-session. I have no idea but I found it in a thread about networkmanager 0.7. It seems to handle authentication or something similar.

that works for me but downgrading hal/networkmanager/network-manager-applet didn't...

e:someone/something did really screw up the permissions

Any news on these hal bugs being fixed ? because new XFCE4 upgrades depend on hal-0.5.11-7

EDIT

I have upgraded hal and upgraded xfce4 bits to see if they work together.

Auto mounts of media seem fine, but I'm still having reboot/shutdown errors.

I get this message when I click on the restart button in xfce4 log out menu

Unable to perform shutdown

org,freedesktop.hal.power-management.reboot no <--(action, result)

EDIT NEW

After a fresh install of Arch and XFCE4 the problems have gone away, must of been crap left in my system from old versions.
