Hi - what is the output of 'ps aux|grep hald'? Thanks, David Btw, to clarify what I've asked for in comment 1, I'll need the output from 'ps aux|grep hald' when the hal daemon is hanging. I cannot boot my machine right now, so this 'ps' is at a time of a couple of days after trying to kill hald. mhuhtala urquell:~ > ps aux | grep hald root 2617 0.0 0.8 6380 4360 ? Ds Nov06 0:00 hald I'm downloading the FC3 final now and I'll try again with a clean install. The test system was updated with yum from FC2 to FC3 development stream to FC3 release candidates, so all kinds of strange things may have happened. Mikko I tested this on a fresh install of FC3 final + updates. The versions are kernel-2.6.9-1.667 udev-039-10.FC3.1 hal-0.4.0-10 dbus-0.22-10 The usb flash drive worked correctly once. Icon appeared on GNOME desktop, access worked ok, 'Unmount volume' from GNOME menu worked without complaints. When the drive then disconnected and re-connected, the it does not get mounted and hal hangs. The process status is as follows: mhuhtala urquell:~ > ps aux | grep hal root 2780 0.0 0.9 7260 4752 ? Ds 02:10 0:01 hald Mikko Right - the hald process is stuck in uninteruptable sleep (state D), most probably because of a bug in the usb-storage driver. This issue can easily be reproduced with a more aggresive test program; it is being tracked in bug 136255 - see that bug for details. Closing this bug as a duplicate. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 136255 *** Changed to 'CLOSED' state since 'RESOLVED' has been deprecated. |
From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: Hal hangs on my system when a usb flash drive is connected. Connecting the flash drive did work correctly twice using this kernel/udev/hal combination, but even then unmounting /media/usbdisk caused hal to hang and the drive could not be re-connected. Now hal seems to hang systematically every time the drive is connected, even immediately after boot. The messages in the system log complain about missing configuration for this device, but as I mentioned, it did work a couple of times, so it appears missing configuration is not the real problem. The system is an up-to-date FC3 release candidate, at least as far as I can tell. The release candidate repositiories seemed to appear at random addresses and now they have disappeared, so there is no way of telling (the advantage of the rc excercise over releasing and mirroring packages in the 'development' stream remains a mystery to me). The versions are: hal-0.4.0-10 kernel-2.6.9-1.667 udev-039-6.FC3.1 dbus-0.22-10 The hwconf entry for the USB hub is as follows: class: USB bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: uhci-hcd desc: "Intel Corp. 82801BA/BAM USB (Hub #1)" vendorId: 8086 deviceId: 2442 subVendorId: 147b subDeviceId: 0507 pciType: 1 pcidom: 0 pcibus: 0 pcidev: 1f pcifn: 2 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.4.0-10 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot FC3 2. Connect USB flash drive 3. Do lshal or try to kill hald Actual Results: The usb drive does not get a mount point and is not mounted. Hald apparently hangs; the process cannot be killed and does not respond to signals. Lshal returns the following error: lshal version 0.4.0 libhal.c 767 : org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply raised "Message did not receive a reply" *** [DIE] lshal.c:dump_devices():71 : Couldn't obtain list of devices Expected Results: Usb drive gets mounted on /media/usbdisk and hald keeps working. Additional info: The following appears in /var/log/messages upon connecting the usb flash drive: Nov 6 14:31:01 urquell kernel: usb 1-1: new full speed USB device using address 3 Nov 6 14:31:02 urquell kernel: Initializing USB Mass Storage driver...
