Re: Unable to mount cd dvd after upgrading to FC5
Jeff Spaleta wrote: cut I solved the problem, I guess. Here's what I've done: I've installed hal-gnome package, turned on hal service on runlevel 5, commended out some fstab lines and rebooted machine. Well, gnome-mount crashes often, and I got some growfs error message after I successfully burned multisession DVD (?), which was ok thoe, but at least I can say that it works for now. After these unpleasent experiences, I can't say I'm gonna recommend upgrading from FC4 to FC5 instead of clean install. And here's my fstab, so you can see what lines I commented out, and what lines I took from my test system and manually added: [ija...@munja ~]$ cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/1/ ext3defaults1 1 LABEL=/boot1/boot ext2defaults1 2 #none/dev/ptsdevpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #none/dev/shmtmpfs defaults0 0 LABEL=/home /home xfs defaults1 2 #none/proc procdefaults0 0 #none/syssysfs defaults0 0 #LABEL=SWAP-hda5 swapswapdefaults0 0 devpts /dev/ptsdevpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shmtmpfs defaults0 0 proc/proc procdefaults0 0 sysfs /syssysfs defaults0 0 /dev/hda5 swapswapdefaults0 0 On 3/22/06, Igor Jagec igo...@vip.hr wrote: I even tried to run hal deamon manually, to play with gnome-mount and so on, but all of that didn't help.

Most likely it wasn't. hald not running..even in fc4.. is a problem that will result in a number of weird symptoms. Unfortunately most likely doesn't help narrow the underlying problem down, i was hoping for confirmation while you were experiencing the problem. 2)is the dbus stuff running correctly? /sbin/service messagebus status [r...@munja ~]# /sbin/service messagebus status dbus-daemon (pid 4147 1558) se izvršava...

[r...@munja ~]# lshal|grep hdc I wasn't asking for a grep.. because the grep won't extract all the information in the block of output that covers all the properties. I specifically ask for a block oufput and I tried to define what the beginning and end of the block looks like. Unfortunately you didn't seem to understand what I was asking for. I didn't know how to provide you more information, but I hope that above will help a bit. I saw on the redhat's news group that I'm not the only one who experienced that problem. gnome-mount isnt crashing for me... and I don't see any bugreports about gnome-mount crashing so far reported in bugzilla by anyone. If this is a common occurance, and its a real bug, someone from those news groups needs to actually file a bug report if they want the crashing fixed. People can discuss crasher issues in forums and newsgroups and mailinglists forever.. but if its not filed in bugzilla..you can never be sure the developers who need to be aware of it will know about it. -jef
Unable to mount cd dvd after upgrading to FC5
Hi there! I've just upgraded to FC5 (from FC4) and there is a problem. I can't mount CD or DVD any more. I've never experienced that problem while I was playing with Rawhide on my test system upgrading it to FC5, or on clean FC5 install on my second test partition, but now on my main system I have :-/ I know that Fedora Core 5 now uses gnome-mount, a more efficient mechanism that replaces fstab-sync, and uses HAL to handle mounting, but it does not work after the upgrade via install media (which went ok BTW). I even tried to run hal deamon manually, to play with gnome-mount and so on, but all of that didn't help. I tried to 'rpm -V hal', but I got no output. Is there any way to solve that problem manually? To make hal to detect my hdc and hdd devices? Any help would be highly appreciated. Thanks. Cheers! -- Igor Jagec
