Description
New version.
Also, the page needs to be updated for many reasons:
- PolicyKit and ConsoleKit should be promoted from optional deps to recommended deps. At least, that's how CBLFS does it...
- The sed is no longer needed if you are using parted.
- It appears that CBLFS passes --enable-parted, --enable-policykit, --enable-consolekit, --enable-acl-management, and --enable-umount-helper. Should we look in to these?
- hal-info is now at 20090716.
- There are some major changes in the configuration. They follow:
- Since 2.6.23-rc9 (i.e. many versions ago), the slow-vfat plobrem seems to be fixed now. So usefree is not needed for vfat devices anymore. English users (like me) would breath a sigh of relif.
- Someone created a patch (attached, rediffed aganst newer XFCE) that allows you to specify mount options for XFCE devices. See http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2891#c19 for more info. So that's one of the reasons that XFCE should be in the book again.
Note: attched patch fixes that and another HAL issue: HAL throws cryptic messages at you when you eject the CDrom drive. Also, the file for configuring XFCE mount options is $XFCE_PREFIX/share/xfce4/mount.rules. A sample version follows (from the ticket):
[vfat] mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;flush # mount_options=shortname=mixed;uid=;utf8;umask=077;exec;usefree # Sometimes, adding a 'usefree' option is required due to bugs in the kernel. # See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/133567 [udf] mount_options=uid=;exec [ntfs-3g] mount_options=locale=;exec [ntfs] mount_options=umask=222;utf8;exec fstype_override=ntfs-3g [iso9660] mount_options=uid=;utf8;exec [hfs] mount_options=uid=
So, what do you think?

Wait, wait. I should of created a ticket on DeviceKit instead. It appears (as of 09-28-09) to be stable now, having a version 003 now.
Oh, and GNOME needs it now, according to CBLFS, along with DeviceKit-disks, DeviceKit-power, and some little GNOME thing called gnome-disk-utility (which seems to replace gnome-mount). All of these are found at hal's normal download location.

Well, HAL should still be in the book. I'll open up a ticket for DeviceKit later.

This ticket is a duplicate of #2710. Closing, but I'll note this ticket number in the existing ticket.
Kills the two HAL bugs with one stone, allowing the user to specify the HAL options, and stopping HAL from throwing cryptic messages when you press the eject button on a CD/DVD drive.
