I follow closely the factory distribution, but for some days now I have problems seemingly connected with the dbus-system. Especially it is no longer possible to mount removable media (apart from the old-fashiond "mount" command as root user ;).
I cannot exactly pinpoint the date, but I imagine it started around the time when hal and PolicyKit became seperate packages. Problems: In KDE, I cannot mount removable storage (usb and firewire) any longer. A window pops up telling my that hal.something's policy doesn't allow mounting for UID 1000 (my user id). I can't even reproduce the error now, because I just did a reinstall of some packages, and now konqueror's "system:/media"-kioslave doesn't even show the hotplug devices any more :-( On a maybe related note, the kpowersave-icon in my systray is greyed out. kdbus is prone to long hangs and crashes, and if it runs, it only shows entries for "System Bus", not for "Session Bus". Some maybe interesting error messages: linux:~ # /etc/init.d/policykitd restart Shutting down HAL daemon done Starting PolicyKit daemon done linux:~ # /etc/init.d/policykitd status Checking for service PolicyKit daemoncheckproc: cannot stat /var/run/polkit-console/polkit.pid: No such file or directory The Packages hal, PolicyKit, dbus-1, dbus-1-qt (and so on) and resmgr are as provided by openSUSE factory for AMD64 as of today, August 15th.
