[arch-general] Update to latest [kde-unstable] - It is looking good!, HAL/d-bus/PolicyKit Change?
Listmates, Couple of thoughts for this day. Latest updates come with the following praise and questions: (1) kde4.3 beta 2 (4.2.92svn984151-1) - Wow, much crisper, behaving ...well, like it should. Even with the radeonhd driver it feels better than (4.2.90 with fglrx on suse)! (2) all dmraid partitions lost with dmraid-1.0.0rc15 and kernel26-2.6.30-5. (subject of another thread) (3) new kernel also did something to Hal/d-bus/PolicyKit, so I can't access my usb drives again with the brute force approach. Any thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Hehe. I think you should start a blog.

Actually, that sounds like a pretty good idea. planet.archlinux.org anyone? ;) -- Andrei Thorp, Developer: Xandros Corp. (http://www.xandros.com) Remember: While root can do most everything, there are certain privileges that only a partner can grant. -- Telsa Gwynne

I'm able to mount my iPod via USB with my /etc/PolicyKit/PolicyKit.conf set as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!-- -*- XML -*- --> <!DOCTYPE pkconfig PUBLIC "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Configuration 1.0//EN" "http://hal.freedesktop.org/releases/PolicyKit/1.0/config.dtd"> <!-- See the manual page PolicyKit.conf(5) for file format --> <config version="0.1"> <!-- DAR --> <!-- <define_admin_auth group="wheel"/> --> <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable"> <return result="yes"/> </match> <!-- <match action="org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject-removable"> <return result="yes"/> </match> --> </config> HTH, DR
