error dialog when mounting encrypted USB stick
Last modified: 2013-03-05 22:52:19 EST
Description of problem: Automatic mounting of an encrypted USB stick works. The keyring is queries etc. But at the end of the mounting process a dialog pops up: Cannot mount volume. Error org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.UnknownError Details An unknown error occured (I don't post a screenshot, this text is all there is). There are no messages in any of the log file. And I also don't see why. The mount actually was successful. The only issue is that sometimes the umount (using right-click on the icon on the desktop) does not work. Or not completely and the mount point directory is left behind. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.10-0.git20070925.fc8.i386 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.get encrypted USB stick (I use cryptset-luks) 2.plug in 3. Actual results: above dialog Expected results: no dialog and no problems while unmounting Additional info:
Same memory stick, different machine, this time freshly installed F8t3 (instead of updated from F8t1). Here everything just works. One difference (beside the updating) is that on this machine I started out from a clean keyring instead of keeping the old /home around on the other machine.
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported during the development of Fedora 8. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are changing the version of this bug to '8'. If this bug still exists in rawhide, please change the version back to rawhide. (If you're unable to change the bug's version, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help and we apologize for the interruption. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
I haven't seen this problem in a long time, maybe never with F9, I cannot say for sure. I close the bug, anybody hitting it can use F9.
