Subject: [gentoo-user] "Cannot mount volume" on Gnome 2.16 when inserting CD?

1 Hi!
2
3 I recently reinstalled my Gentoo system and unmasked and installed
4 Gnome 2.16; the system is otherwise a ~x86 system.
5
6 When I now insert a DVD/CD or plugin a USB stick, I get a popup showing:
7
8 Cannot mount volume
9
10 But I can perfectly fine mount this volume manually. Eg.:
11
12 alexander@blatt ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C sudo mount -v /dev/dvd /mnt/test
13 mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/dvd
14 I will try type iso9660
15 mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
16 /dev/hdc on /mnt/test type iso9660 (ro)
17
18 The device is not listed in /etc/fstab (see <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/188677>).
19
20 gnome-volume-manager is running:
21
22 alexander@blatt ~ $ ps awux|grep -v grep|grep gnome-volume-manager
23 1000 7382 0.0 0.6 18828 4488 ? Ss Sep30 0:01 gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable
24
25 alexander@blatt ~ $ ls -lad /var/db/pkg/*/*{hal-,gnome-mount}*
26 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 10. Sep 21:19 /var/db/pkg/gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.4-r5
27 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 17. Sep 11:20 /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r1
28
29 My user is a member of the plugdev group:
30
31 alexander@blatt ~ $ id
32 uid=1000(alexander) gid=1000(alexander) Gruppen=10(wheel),16(cron),18(audio),19(cdrom),80(cdrw),100(users),250(portage),442(plugdev),444(games),1000(alexander)
33
34 When I run "gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable -n", I get the following
35 output:
36
37 alexander@blatt ~ $ gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable -n
38 gnome-mount 0.4
39 gnome-mount 0.4
40
41 The second line with "gnome-mount 0.4" was printed, when I inserted
42 the CD.
43
44 I've got a /media directory. When I try to manually mount the
45 CD using hal and gnome-mount, I get:
46
47 alexander@blatt ~ $ gnome-mount --hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW --text --verbose
48 gnome-mount 0.4
49 ** (gnome-mount:26113): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW

55
56 When I run the gnome-mount command as roót, the CD gets mounted just
57 fine.
58
59 What's broken on my system (other than using ~x86 and masked
60 packages *G*)?
61
62 Thanks,
63
