Package: hal Version: 0.5.11~rc2-1 Severity: normal Hi,
I am using Amarok for playing and managing my music collection. Amarok in turn uses HAL to determine where its music is stored, as can be seen here (sorry for the long lines): ,---- | $ LANG= psql --command "SELECT id, lastmountpoint, uuid FROM devices WHERE uuid LIKE '%1701%';" amarok | id | lastmountpoint | uuid | ----+-----------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | 59 | /home | /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_17018472_1017_2063_2161_7465674205aa | (1 row) `---- Now /home is an encrypted reiserfs volume and is mounted via libpam-mount while logging in like this: ,---- | $ grep '/home' /etc/security/pam_mount.conf.xml | <volume options="exec,nodev,nosuid,noatime,nodiratime,acl,user_xattr" user="smc" mountpoint="/home" path="/dev/hda5" fstype="crypt" /> | $ mount | grep '/home' | /dev/mapper/_dev_hda5 on /home type reiserfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,nodiratime,acl,user_xattr) `---- But for some time now (I do not know exactly when this behaviour started, but I do know that it used to work) HAL does not "see" the newly mounted volume (e.g. "lshal | grep 1701" does not print anything) which leads Amarok to think, that it has not yet seen any of my music files and therefor "lose" all the statistics or ratings. This can be rectified by restarting HAL, and then restarting any KDE "behind the scenes" application like kded, kdeinit, dcopserver which of course means that you have to restart any "real" KDE application (luckily I am not using KDE per se, but only a select few KDE applications). Just restarting Amarok is not enough, sadly. As an additional note: a friend of mine, which I instructed reportbug to send a copy of this mail to, has exactly the same problem. Feel free to reassign this bug to libpam-mount/whatever if you see fit, or to ask for any help/info necessary.
