Are DBus (package dbus) and HAL (package hal) installed and running?

Is your user in the plugdev group?

They are now...

and these are now...

Everything's working fine now.  Thanks to both of you.

The reason I asked what might seem to be a stupid question is that on
my previous work computer, I installed Debian with pmount and a 2.6
kernel, whereas I installed Debian on my home computer a few years ago
and have just this week changed to 2.6.  

I had assumed that pmount's dependencies would be sufficient for it to
work, so I'm curious: why aren't they?

Thanks,
Adam

Well, it is possible to use pmount without HAL if you pass all the 
parameters to it yourself. Many people do just that, and there is no 
reason to force HAL on them.

Interesting, thanks.

Upgraded 2.4 to 2.6 kernel: how to get pmount to work?

2006-02-20 Thread Adam Funk
I just upgraded from 2.4.27-2-k7 to 2.6.8-2-k7 and booted
successfully.  I then did `aptitude install pmount` but it isn't
working.  When I connect and disconnect USB devices, the /dev/sdb and
/dev/sdb1 (for example) appear and disappear, but I have a pmount-hal
command instead of pmount and it doesn't work:

$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda  /dev/sdb  /dev/sdb1

$ pmount-hal /dev/sdb1
Error: could not connect to dbus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: No reply 
within specified time

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
Adam
