Hotbelgo Posted August 16, 2006 Report Share Posted August 16, 2006 (edited) I have been using the MDE enhancements for sometime now but ever since I started I had problems with usb storage (a hardisk and a usb Stick). I started tracking down the errors today and realised that gnome-volume-maanger is not starting. First it could not find libraries.so.0 for dbus, dbus-glib and hal but after repairing the symlinks (no idea why they had got lost) I now get: symbol lookup error: gnome-volume-manager: undefined symbol: hal_initialize I have (lib)hal(1)- 0.5.7-12.mdk2006.0.mde installed and the rest is "mostly" a stock 2006.0 machine (I certainly have not deliberately played around with this sort of system stuff deliberately and still retain gnome-volume-manager-1.2.2-1mdk What has gone wrong?

Hotbelgo Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Hi, I'm still hoping to get some reactions and am carrying on investigating. I read on some gentoo forums that ivman many be the way forward for loading usb storage devices and notices that mde has an rpm for that. I replace gnome volume manager with that, but wonder whether i should be diverting so far from my original mandrake set-up? I also read frequently about fstab-sync, but realise that that is not on my system (any more?). But i canot find an rpm that even contains it using rpmdrake. Help...........................!!!!!

mmodem Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 You are totally right, i have build all needed rpms to have usb working fine in wich gnome-volume-manager and others but i have only build those rpm for x86_64, ill build them for x86 and upload them when i finish releasing a new kde and some other multimedia plugins, so tomorrow i think all will be uploaded in x86 repo, sorry for this. kind regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
