urgent help required

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 $parent_udi --key volume.label)
          media_size=$(hal-get-property --udi $udi --key
storage.removable.media_size)
          size=$(( ceil(media_size/(1024*1024*1024)) ))
          line="$vendor  $model  $device $label "${size}GB""

hal daemon not running properly

hal & UPS with serial port

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.

Regards

HAL mount result differs if invoked by HAL

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 the
thing (with the exact same paramter), both locations are mounted as
expected, but in the /media/CW-P7EOS-X mount all Files/Folders with
chin/jap. Name in it do not appear.

I have absolutely no idea why it is like this. I can do it by hand with
the exact same command and parameter and everything goes well, but HAL
give strange results.

So I am looking for a place, where I can see any HAL errors.

Here are my System Details:

> uname -a
FreeBSD host.domain 9.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 9.0-CURRENT #3: Mon May 23
07:20:47 CST 2011
root <at> trinity.the-wire.de:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TRINKERNEL  i386

>hald --version
HAL package version: 0.5.14

Any help on this is appreciated, I am trying to write a fully functional
wrapper, that remove the charset Problem of msdos devices between
windows (utf-16 i think) and *bsd systems, so that we can use chin/jap
names in folders and files even if been created under windows.

Best wishes
Patu

Hey

Hello  I just wanted to share this opportunity with you, I've been making 200-300 dollars a day and I started

enough for you :)! http://news7cnbc.com/money

need help with hald on MacOS

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-compiling both dbus and hald with different config options, but I get the same
results, so I'm stumped.

I noticed the directory /usr/local/etc/hal/ contains the expected directories, but they are all empty.
The build directory had many fdi files that didn't seem to install. Not sure if that's normal or a source of
the problem.

Here are is some system information:

Keymapping

Hi, I have a usr9600 phone which acts as an extra keyboard and I'm
trying to map keys 1-0 to keypad 1-0:

         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x02:KP1</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x03:KP2</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x04:KP3</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x05:KP4</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x06:KP5</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x07:KP6</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x08:KP7</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x09:KP8</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x0a:KP9</append>
         <append key="input.keymap.data" type="strlist">0x0b:KP0</append>

lshal shows the mappings but they aren't working. I got the codes with 
scankey -s and I've also tried using xev which show different keycodes.

I've also tried <merge> instead of <append>

Any ideas why this isn't working?

Cheers

Dave

[PATCH] ConsoleKit.conf: fix explicit missing destination

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.
