Description Tony McDonough 2005-10-10 17:04:10 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050921 Red Hat/1.0.7-1.4.1 Firefox/1.0.7

Description of problem:
When running the Preference application "Removable Storage" I receive an error stating: 

Volume Management not Supported The hald service is required but not currently running.  Enable the service and rerun the applet....  

I've verified that the hald and dbus-daemon-1 is running.  When I run lshal I have the following error:  

libhal.c 644 : Error connecting to system bus: An SELinux policy prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.DBus" member "Hello" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.DBus") error: hal_initialize failed

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-volume-manager-1.1.0-5

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In GNOME, go to Preference-->Removable Storage
2.
3.
  

Additional info:

Comment 1 Michael Stevenson 2005-10-19 22:31:22 UTC
To be noted as well is thatwhen media is inserted gnome will not mount it by
itself.  Although this is the defaul action of gnome on a fresh install in U1.

This is reloaded not just to upgrading to U2 but any fresh install on multiple
machines of U2.

The errors Tony are accurate as mine would be.

Comment 2 John (J5) Palmieri 2005-10-19 22:34:06 UTC
Looks like a misconfigured SELinux policy.  Moving to selinux.

Comment 3 Daniel Walsh 2005-10-20 13:46:27 UTC
Are you seeing any avc messages? 

Comment 4 Chris Runge 2005-10-25 20:48:59 UTC
I'm also seeing this error. AVC messages follow:

Please try the policy on
