[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#497463: KDE mediamanager behaviour.

[Raúl Sánchez Siles]

  Hello:

  I've been tracing the behaviour of the KDE mediamanager to get the removable 
device mounted. The dbus mounting message is send in 
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/kioslave/media/mediamanager/halbackend.cpp 
line 961, roughly the command send is this

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal --print-reply /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5E438C083A6612CE 
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Mount string:'' string:'' 
array:string:"uid=1000"

  where /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_5E438C083A6612CE is the 
volume uid and the org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Mount method input 
parameters are:

  · mount_point (string): "" in this case
  · fstype (string): "" in this case
  · extra_options (array string): "uid=1000"

  From here what you can see is that KDE mediamanager is not specifying any 
filesystem for the mount, and I'm not sure how hal works, but I suspect that 
it's hal that has already decided that ntfs is to be used and not ntfs-fuse 
or ntfs-3g.

  If you could provided some clues as how mediamanager should behave I can 
look into the code and see what can be done.

  Regards,
