k3b: Drive not found ...

01-30-2011, 06:23 AM

Hello,

I was recently having similar issues with a computer I picked up
from my university's surplus that I put a fresh Gentoo install on.
The issues went away after I restarted dbus, a la:

$ /etc/init.d/dbus restart

It may not fix your issues, but it did make mine vanish. Best of
luck!

Hi Jon,

thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately it does not change anything here.
The problem remains...

Best regard,

Try checking / restarting hal and you could also try to re-run
etc-update, to make sure, that /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf is
updated (iirc there were some changes in that file some time ago...)

I don't know if dbus-monitor --system or a dbus log would tell you
which call wasn't allowed, maybe increasing dbus's
debug level would include that in the log...

Apparently, though unproven, at 09:01 on Sunday 30 January 2011,
meino.cramer@gmx.de did opine thusly:

Blind shot in the dark here:

What's your USE for k3b? I recently got an update with a USE flag change for
k3B: hal

Maybe your's is off?

From what I remember, K3B uses either D-Bus or, I believe, HAL to detect
drives. So if HAL (or D-Bus) is not working properly, K3B won't detect
the drive.

Also, I have a vague memory (warning! this may be totally wrong!) that
you may need the plugdev group as well, for the detection to work
properly? Maybe?

However, my K3B ("stable" on 2.0.1-r1) doesn't have a "hal" use flag,
but it appears the latest ("unstable" on 2.0.2-r1) does.
