urgent help required

amit pansuria — 2012-08-30T11:10:01

I m using hal utilinity on my linux (RHEL 5.5) to find the number of USB
devices connected to system

my problem is that when I connect two usb pen drive it shows correctly

now at run time when I unplug one of pen drive and re- run my script it
still shows two pen drive

ideally it shoud show only one after unplug.

I have write following script

for udi in $(/usr/bin/hal-find-by-capability --capability storage)
 do
        device=$(hal-get-property --udi $udi --key block.device)
        vendor=$(hal-get-property --udi $udi --key storage.vendor)
        model=$(hal-get-property --udi $udi --key storage.model)
        echo "udi=$udi ** device=$device ** vendor=$vendor ** model=$model"
        if [[ $(hal-get-property --udi $udi --key storage.bus) = "usb" ]]
        then
          parent_udi=$(hal-find-by-property --key block.storage_device
--string $udi)
          mount=$(hal-get-property --udi $parent_udi --key
volume.mount_point)
          echo "mount = $mount"
          label=$(hal-get-property --udi $par

hal & UPS with serial port

Grzesiek Sójka — 2011-09-14T18:25:42

Hi there.

Recently I updated to hal-0.5.14 (I do not remember the previous 
version). The problem is that after starting hald my UPS (connected via 
serial port) immediately switches off.

Please help. I already lost some data.

John Larysz — 2011-07-25T20:01:14

I am trying to get hal to configure on an  armel architecture machine with
build 2.6.29-00236-g4f8dbbb-dirty. It's not going well.

 

How can I tell if hal is even running? I can't see anything in ps -ef and I
can't find any error messages.

HAL mount result differs if invoked by HAL

潘图 — 2011-06-26T14:18:12

Hi,

in order to have my msdos device being able to use correct charset i am
using a fuse module. Here is what I do:

root> mount_msdosfs -L zh_CN.GBK /dev/msdosfs/device /mnt/tmp
root> fusexmp_fh
-oallow_other,modules=iconv:subdir,from_code=GBK,subdir=/mnt/tmp
/media/CW-P7EOS-X

This allows me to have chinese/japanese Names in the Folder/File Name
even if created on windows.

If I do not use the fusexmp_fh, but only the mount_msdosfs, all
filenames with chin/jap names in it will be displayed as (invalid encoding).

No I have created a wrapper with the name mount_msdosfs and move the
actual binary to another place. This wrapper does the 2 commands above
automatically.

So when I am under my gnome environment and plug in my USB Device with
msdos filesystem, HAL calls the mount_msdosfs (which is now the wrapper)
and this script does the two commands above.



The only problem is, that the result differ, if invoked by HAL or if
invoked manually.

If I call the wrapper script, everything works well, if HAL does

need help with hald on MacOS

Cuga — 2011-05-16T00:43:25

I need help debugging a problem with hald!

I'm building an X11 window manager under XQuartz/MacOS 10.6.7. I'm not using Fink or Macports. I'm installing everything in POSIX-compliant locations (/usr/local).

Dbus-1.5.0 and hal-0.5.11 both compile and install fine, but I can't get hald to run. It throws messages and quits.

The X11 wm I'm using requires dbus-session, and optionally uses dbus-system and hal for hardware-specific modules. Dbus is running properly. The X11 wm is successfully connecting to dbus-session which is being launched by launchd. 

I can launch dbus-daemon --system, either by hand at the terminal, or with launchd. I get the same results either way. The pid and socket files are created as expected and the daemon runs in the background without error. However hald does not start up properly after this. The hald man page suggests starting hald by hand in verbose mode, which I have tried, with results shown below. hald quits and gives me some messages I don't understand. I've tried re-compili

I've also tried <merge> instead

[PATCH] ConsoleKit.conf: fix explicit missing destination

Auke Kok — 2011-04-11T21:04:22

The last rule in the dbus system.d conf does not explicitly list the 
destination, which would give problems if a potential other target has 
the same path. Caught by an automated MeeGo build check.

What replaces this part of HAL?

Tom Horsley — 2011-02-24T13:43:37

I keep reading that HAL is going away, yet I have programs
that use bits and pieces of HAL, and I can't for the life
of me deduce what the "official" replacement for this
functionality is. For instance:

When my USB mouse is plugged/unplugged, I get DBUS messages
which allow me to re-run my xinput settings for the mouse
to properly configure the buttons and acceleration.

When my PTP cameras are plugged/unplugged, I also get DBUS
messages (with the HAL udi string), so I can do hal queries
to dig up properties like the USB bus and device numbers
so I can open the camera with libgphoto2.

So that's my question: If HAL really is going away, what
is supposed to replace this kind of notification mechanism
for newly plugged devices?

hald-addon-cpufreq broken on newer kernels

Ozan Çağlayan — 2011-02-17T20:52:31

Hi,

I don't know if this deserves a fix but some removals in /proc on newer 
kernels causes hald-addon-cpufreq to not correctly identify processors.

In:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/tree/hald/linux/acpi.c

< at > line 559.

The linux.acpi_path does no longer provide the "info" file.

How to disable suspend/hibernate?

Manuel Reimer — 2010-12-21T21:10:58

Hello,

I want HAL to report suspend/hibernate to be *not* supported to get KDE remove 
the buttons for those "standby modes" from the K-Menu.

Just uninstalling pm-utils doesn't do the trick, as you don't check the return 
value or the error code of g_spawn_command_line_sync in your code:
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/hal/plain/tools/hal-system-power-pm-is-supported.c

So I uninstalled pm-utils and symlinked between /bin/false and 
/usr/bin/pm-is-supported which finally does the trick.

Is there a better/more friendly way to do this?

Thanks in advance

Yours

Manuel

[PATCH] HAL: Ignore internal DM devices with new DM udev rules

Milan Broz — 2010-07-13T14:07:32

With new device-mapper udev rules are /dev/mapper/* symlinks
to basic device name /dev/dm-X.
(Change requested by udev upstream.)

This change breaks temporary-cryptsetup workaround inside hal.

With new dm-udev rules (uncluded since device-mapper 1.02.39)
there is DM_UDEV_DISABLE_OTHER_RULES_FLAG variable
which controls that scan should be ignored for this device
(it is set for all internal devices, including temporary cryptsetup,
internal parts of lvm devices etc.)

Ignore device if this flag is set.

logicaldev_input udi's missing

Elbert Branscomb — 2010-07-17T23:33:31

Seeking help with hal setup - specifically concerning missing
logicaldev_input devices.

I have two amd64 machines with nearly identical hal-relevant software,
including hal versions and .fdi  files (in /etc/hal/fdi/policy), and
also evdev, and udev.  However, on one, a Logitech USB kb/mouse is
recognized and works fine, on the other it is 'seen' but doesn't work. 
The relevant lshal outputs from the two machines are identical except
that the udi's refering to 'logicaldev_input' are missing on the
non-functional machine.

For example, upon unplugging and replugging the Logitech receiver the
output of 'lshal --monitor' is: 

on the 'working' machine
