Package: gnome-volume-manager
Version: 1.4.0-4
Severity: normal
When I log into GNOME on my laptop, whose hard drive is encrypted, I get
a password prompt because gnome-volume-manager has noticed an encrypted
partition and wants to mount it. This is inappropriate since the hard
drive partition in question is already "unlocked", mounted, and in
active use.
This started a few weeks ago -- I believe it's due to the following
change in HAL 0.5.6-2:
* Because the addons run with root privs. now, harddisk properties are
available (Closes: #290653)
It seems that g-v-m now notices that there's an encrypted partition on
the hard drive, which in the past it was unaware of due to HAL not
having permission to examine the hard drive.
Killing gnome-volume-manager and restarting it from a terminal, I see
the following output:
manager.c/1788: mount_all: mounting /dev/sda2
manager.c/1127: mounting
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1B33_0A00...
manager.c/568: executing command: /usr/bin/pmount-hal
/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1B33_0A00
Error: device /dev/sda2 is not removable
Error: could not execute pmount
manager.c/1788: mount_all: mounting /dev/sda3
/dev/sda3 is the encrypted volume; /dev/sda2 is a service partition that
came preinstalled on the laptop. These messages tell me that g-v-m uses
pmount-hal to actually (attempt to) mount things, but that it's
prompting for the password on its own initiative *before* running
pmount-hal for the encrypted partition. No further messages are
printed after I cancel the password dialog.
I don't know the details of how g-v-m discovers and handles encrypted
volumes, so I'm not quite sure whether this is actually a g-v-m bug or a
HAL bug. But I think it shouldn't attempt to unlock an encrypted volume
that's already unlocked and available.
