Public bug reported: Binary package hint: hal
After last update USB devices does not automount. Plugging new device does nothing. Device icon does not appear in "Computer". It is still possible to mount partition by typing gnome-mount -d /dev/sdc1 in terminal. Short look at dbus-monitor --session output reveals that hal does not report th presence of partition: $ dbus-monitor --session signal sender=org.freedesktop.DBus -> dest=:1.134 path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=NameAcquired string ":1.134" method call sender=:1.134 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_call'" method call sender=:1.134 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='method_return'" method call sender=:1.134 -> dest=org.freedesktop.DBus path=/org/freedesktop/DBus; interface=org.freedesktop.DBus; member=AddMatch string "type='error'" signal sender=:1.23 -> dest=(null destination) path=/; interface=org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor; member=DriveConnected string "org.gtk.Private.HalVolumeMonitor" string "0xeec670" struct { string "0xeec670" string "USB Drive" string "5 GThemedIcon drive-removable-media-usb drive-removable-media drive-removable drive" boolean false boolean true boolean true boolean true array [ ] array [ dict entry( string "hal-udi" string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_serial_JetFlash_TS512MJFV30_9X0FQLX4_0_0" ) dict entry( string "unix-device" string "/dev/sdc" ) ] } Actually, USB stick DOES contain one partition, whicn is correctly recognized by kernel (part of dmesg): [ 4821.161076] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] 991232 512-byte hardware sectors (508 MB) [ 4821.161575] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 4821.161582] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 4821.161584] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 4821.163450] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] 991232 512-byte hardware sectors (508 MB) [ 4821.163950] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 4821.163955] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Mode Sense: 03 00 00 00 [ 4821.163957] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Assuming drive cache: write through [ 4821.163961] sdc: sdc1 [ 4821.164665] sd 17:0:0:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI removable disk [ 4821.164761] sd 17:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg3 type 0 ** Affects: hal (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- USB automount broken after last update https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/307706 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
