Hey guys I'm trying to use my external hard-drive but I keep on getting this error from hal:
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <--(action, result).
Is there something wrong with hal that I must configure or do I have to reinstall it?

That's odd, I'm able to automatically mount my external hard drive. Maybe uninstall and reinstall it would work? Make sure hal is running too.

whenever I would try and start hal it would say that it failed in the first step! Would hal being uninstalled and reinstalled hurt my sistem?
Offline
yeah I did, do you think I need to reinstall it?

Add these lines in /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf enabling user (e.g. rasat) to mount.
<config version="0.1">
<match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable">
<match user="rasat">
<return result="yes"/>
</match>
</match>
</config>

I don't think reinstalling is necessary, but if you do, you would have to reinstall all the other dependencies require it. Did you try restarting hal manually with /etc/rc.d/hal restart?
Offline
yeah and it failed stopping and starting
Offline
wow rasat that script worked like a charm!!

Are you doing this as root?
Edit: oh nvm then

Magistrate, I keep bumping into your topics today, and often they're common beginner problems (as is this one, and it's been covered plenty of times - which is why I'm closing it). I'd really appreciate it if you used the forum's search function - it does exist, and it does work (to some extent).
Thanks for being so considerate.
ShyLock: hal will call dbus if it's not running, so you can just put hal in the daemons array .
