This is fixed in current hardy. I created a test file /etc/hal/fdi/policy/test.fdi with
--- snip --- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- SGML -*- --> <deviceinfo version="0.2"> <device> <match key="block.is_volume" bool="true"> <merge key="volume.ignore" type="bool">true</merge> </match> </device> </deviceinfo> --- snip --- When I saved it, hal's inotify magic instantly picked it up: I plugged in my USB stick, and it wasn't mounted (lshal confirmed that volume.ignore was true). I remove it again, unplug/replug, it's mounted again. So I'd say that /etc/hal/fdi is parsed correctly now. ** Changed in: hal (Ubuntu) Status: In Progress => Fix Released -- hald not parsing policies under /etc/hal/fdi/policy on kubuntu feisty https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/115768 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
