[gentoo-user] "Cannot mount volume" on Gnome 2.16 when ins..

Hi!

I recently reinstalled my Gentoo system and unmasked and installed
Gnome 2.16; the system is otherwise a ~x86 system.

When I now insert a DVD/CD or plugin a USB stick, I get a popup showing:

Cannot mount volume

But I can perfectly fine mount this volume manually. Eg.:

alexander@blatt ~ $ LC_ALL=C LANG=C sudo mount -v /dev/dvd /mnt/test
mount: you didn't specify a filesystem type for /dev/dvd
I will try type iso9660
mount: block device /dev/dvd is write-protected, mounting read-only
/dev/hdc on /mnt/test type iso9660 (ro)

The device is not listed in /etc/fstab (see <http://askwar.pastebin.ca/188677>).

gnome-volume-manager is running:

alexander@blatt ~ $ ps awux|grep -v grep|grep gnome-volume-manager
1000 7382 0.0 0.6 18828 4488 ? Ss Sep30 0:01 gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable

alexander@blatt ~ $ ls -lad /var/db/pkg/*/*{hal-,gnome-mount}*
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 10. Sep 21:19 /var/db/pkg/gnome-base/gnome-mount-0.4-r5
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 17. Sep 11:20 /var/db/pkg/sys-apps/hal-0.5.7.1-r1

My user is a member of the plugdev group:

alexander@blatt ~ $ id
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)

When I run "gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable -n", I get the following
output:

alexander@blatt ~ $ gnome-volume-manager --sm-disable -n
gnome-mount 0.4
gnome-mount 0.4

The second line with "gnome-mount 0.4" was printed, when I inserted
the CD.

I've got a /media directory. When I try to manually mount the
CD using hal and gnome-mount, I get:

alexander@blatt ~ $ gnome-mount --hal-udi=/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW --text --verbose
gnome-mount 0.4
** (gnome-mount:26113): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW
** (gnome-mount:26113): DEBUG: Mounting /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW with mount_point='NEW', fstype='', num_options=1
** (gnome-mount:26113): DEBUG: option='uid=1000'

** (gnome-mount:26113): WARNING **: Mount failed for /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_NEW

When I run the gnome-mount command as roót, the CD gets mounted just
fine.

What's broken on my system (other than using ~x86 and masked
packages *G*)?

Thanks,

Alexander Skwar

Exact same problem here, also a new install, but it's amd64 and I
don't have much keyworded. I checked to be sure, I'm in the plugdev
group. I found a few posts around the web (not gentoo) by googling,
nothing helpful, and apparently nothing in the gentoo forums.

I see this is a couple months old, is there a solution out there?
