I made have a mistake, you can launch hald as root, so can you do it again, I would like to understand why you don't have the hald-addon- storage debug messages:
eject the dvd if in the drive stop hal sudo hald --daemon=no --verbose=yes >/tmp/hal.debug.txt 2>&1 wait 10 seconds ps -Af | grep hal strace -f -p <pid of the hald-addon-storage polling your drive device> -o /tmp/addon-storage.strace.txt insert the dvd wait 10 seconds stop the debug and send both output. -- DVD-R not auto-mounted by Gnome https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/157775 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
