[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#562685: Rejected send message, 3 matched rules: Cannot mount external drives

[Daniel Moerner]

Package: hal
Version: 0.5.11-8
Severity: important

Hi,

This is a fresh install of Debian Lenny manually bootstrapped using
debootstrap. Whenever I try to use thunar or pcmanfm to mount any
external drive, I get this error:

Rejected send message, 3 matched rules; type="method_call", sender=":1.14"
(uid=1000 pid=5924 comm="pcmanfm ")
interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member="Mount" error
name="(unset)" requested_reply=0 destination="org.freedesktop.Hal" (uid=0
pid=4898 comm="/usr/sbin/hald "))

When I peformed the initial bootstrapping, I did it by bind-mounting
the old /dev on top of the system. Is it possible that this is what is
causing the problem? Should I try a MAKEDEV generic and see if that
fixes it? I'd prefer to avoid this if possible.

Thanks,
Daniel
