Subject: hal: two icons on the desktop for a single encrypted partition
Package: hal
Version: 0.5.8.1-9
Severity: normal
After upgrading hal to 0.5.8.1-9, two icons appeared on my desktop for
the same partition.
This is broken for at least two reasons:
- - that partition is on a non-removable disk, so it should not be
displayed since it can't be removed
- - there are two icons istead of one
Here is a conversation had with the maintainer about this issue:
mar 22 12:56:45 <eddyp> sjoerd: I have *two* icons on my desktop for an encrypte
d partition I have... with 0.5.8.1-9 for hal, libhal1 and libhal-storage1
mar 22 12:57:03 <eddyp> sjoerd: I didn't see this bahaviour with 0.5.8.1-6.1
mar 22 12:57:37 <eddyp> sjoerd: should I try adding g-v-m 1.5.15-2 to the mix?
mar 22 12:58:18 <eddyp> sjoerd: this is an encrypted partition on the hard disk
mar 22 12:59:00 <sjoerd> It's a buglet in the hal/gnome-vfs combination
mar 22 12:59:24 <sjoerd> because we use pmount, the encrypted volume isn'
t mounted where hal/gnome-vfs expects it.. And you get it twice
mar 22 12:59:37 <sjoerd> If you use gnome-mount and the g-v-m from exp, i
t's ``fixed''
mar 22 13:00:04 * mbiebl ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has joined
#debian-devel
mar 22 13:00:08 <eddyp> sjoerd: yes, but this is a fixed drive, so it shouldn't
be on my desktop at all
mar 22 13:00:27 * amaya has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
mar 22 13:00:36 <sjoerd> Yes and no.. If we remove all fixed drives from
your desktop, we'll get bugs about that :)
mar 22 13:00:43 <eddyp> sjoerd: also, this would mean that installs on crypto wo
uld have icons on the desktop by default, wouldn't it?
mar 22 13:00:56 <sjoerd> eddyp: where is it mounted ?
mar 22 13:01:02 <eddyp> sjoerd: /crypto
mar 22 13:01:06 <sjoerd> Right
mar 22 13:01:17 <sjoerd> No, gnome-vfs2 has a list of things not to put o
n your desktop
mar 22 13:01:27 <sjoerd> Which includes things like / and /usr
mar 22 13:01:32 <eddyp> and my configuration says "no fixed partitions should ha
ve icons on desktop"
mar 22 13:01:47 <sjoerd> so a system that has encrypted / won't show up o
n the desktop
mar 22 13:02:15 <eddyp> sjoerd: shouldn't the removable bit be the one that is a
sked instead?
mar 22 13:02:57 <eddyp> sjoerd: it would be more acceptable is there was only on
e icon ..
mar 22 13:03:10 <eddyp> although still buggy
mar 22 13:03:20 <sjoerd> I'm not sure what the encrypted volume bit is se
t too
mar 22 13:03:36 <sjoerd> Oh i agree, that hal && gnome-vfs should be smar
ter about what to show
mar 22 13:03:51 <sjoerd> Some issues have apparently been fixed in newer
gnome-vfs..
mar 22 13:04:01 <sjoerd> But hal is still somewhat stupid when it comes t
o encrypted/lvm/raid etc
mar 22 13:04:14 <eddyp> sjoerd: but those won't be allowed in etch, would they?
vorlon ?
mar 22 13:04:29 <sjoerd> Gnome 2.18 gnome-vfs, no not really
mar 22 13:04:55 <sjoerd> Imho, it looks silly but it's not harmfull
mar 22 13:05:09 * Le_Vert-Ntbk has quit (Remote host closed the
connection )
mar 22 13:05:17 <eddyp> sjoerd: couldn't the patch be reworked soemhow to revert
part of the behaviour so that the icon don't appear
mar 22 13:05:18 <eddyp> ?
mar 22 13:06:08 <sjoerd> Then we have to introduce a new patch into gnome
- -vfs properly
mar 22 13:06:29 <eddyp> doesn't hal have the information about the device, if is
a fixed disk or a removable one?
mar 22 13:06:30 <sjoerd> And i don't think this is enough reason to allow
a patched gnome-vfs into etch
mar 22 13:06:57 <sjoerd> For an encrypted one, depends.. Only if it's a l
uks volume with one parent
mar 22 13:07:12 <eddyp> sjoerd: this is the case here
mar 22 13:07:13 <sjoerd> That is, you can retrieve it's unencrypted paren
t and work from there
mar 22 13:08:06 * _rene_ has quit (Ping timeout: 480 seconds)
mar 22 13:08:25 <sjoerd> But again, i don't really see this going into et
ch at this point
mar 22 13:08:39 <eddyp> still, thinking about the parent... do you think there c
ould be a *sane* scenario when soembody has both one removable and one fixed par
ent?
mar 22 13:09:13 <sjoerd> Hal doesn't know how to handle multiple parents,
so your stuck there anyway
mar 22 13:10:31 <eddyp> just one icon is annyoing, having two is stupid ... arrr
rgh!
mar 22 13:11:06 <sjoerd> But yes, i agree with you that we should fix thi
s.. But again, imho it's not of a severity that would allow an updated version t
o go into etch
mar 22 13:11:19 * xerakko ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has joined #debi
an-devel
mar 22 13:11:36 * liw ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) has joine
d #debian-devel
mar 22 13:11:37 <eddyp> sjoerd: one word "regression"
mar 22 13:12:23 <eddyp> probably if a clear and short fix for this is provided f
ast... the RMs will agree ....
mar 22 13:12:34 * eddyp looks at vorlon
mar 22 13:12:55 <sjoerd> If that's the case, i've got no problems with fi
nding a quick fix
mar 22 13:13:14 <sjoerd> but i want to know before hand that it's not jus
t a waste of time
mar 22 13:13:38 <sjoerd> Note, that it's just a fix for having two icons.
. Not removing them at all
mar 22 13:13:40 <eddyp> sjoerd: meaning that you'd work on it if RMs agree?
mar 22 13:14:18 <sjoerd> If the RM's agree that it's enough of an issue t
hat a small patch would be allowed into etch then yes..
mar 22 13:14:27 <eddyp> sjoerd: vorlon: for the record, 414417 never hit me

gnome-vfs/gnome-volume-manager in unstable use gnome-mount now, so this
problem should be gone.
If you still have the problem in unstable, please reopen the bug.
Cheers,
