Failed to mount "DV".

RocketLauncher · 2009-12-30 00:49:39

I have a cheap DV camera and I tried to retrieve images off it. I get this:

Rejected send message, 1 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.19" (uid=1000 pid=2393 comm="exo-mount) interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0 pid=1184 comm="/usr/sbin/hald)).

I tried this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HAL … ion_Denied
It didn't work. I also tried adding adding /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon to /etc/rc.local as was mentioned in that thread and it didn't work.

Rolling back to an earlier release of hal might work but how do I do that?

Simple: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Dow … g_Packages

xfce4

I get in with "startx"

RocketLauncher · 2009-12-30 01:42:19

I end up with this

[root@john john]# pacman -U hal-0.5.13-2-i686.pkg.tar.gz 
loading package data...
checking dependencies...
error: failed to prepare transaction (could not satisfy dependencies)
:: xorg-server: requires hal>=0.5.14
[root@john john]#

Try starting xfce from xinitrc with this (apparently it solves a lot of these mounting woes):

exec ck-launch-session xfce4-session

See this for details: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xfc … _Drives.29

I have:
exec ck-launch-session startxfce4

in my ~/.xinitrc

Should I remove that and replace it with exec cki-launch-session xfce4-session ?

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 02:25:37

It can't hurt to try. Also, the thread linked to on the wiki has some other pointers re /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf

RocketLauncher · 2009-12-30 02:43:37

Still doesn't seem to help

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 02:49:17

If that and the PolicyKit.conf didn't work I am afraid I am at a loss. Sorry.

This is my PolicyKit.conf right now

Nope still didn't help

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 03:13:02

You have tried to mount it manually, right?

Actually I haven't, how do I?

RocketLauncher · 2009-12-30 04:35:14

I just tried browsing it in thunar as root and it works just fine by the way

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 04:36:52

So if you mount it as john, you should be good to go...

It doesn't work as john though. Unless I'm doing it wrong.. how would you mount it?

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 04:55:17

Create the mountpoint - make sure that it has the correct pemissions and then mount the device to that location. What have you done?

I just don't know how to mount the device to that location.

jasonwryan · 2009-12-30 05:51:31

man mount

Seriously, this is something you need to come to grips with yourself. It is straightforward enough and, if it doesn't work the first time, there is always Google...

Play around with it and -in the unlikely event you can't get it to work- post any errors.

You are almost there: good luck!
