Created attachment 324447 [details] output of some hal-related commands Description of problem: I have inserted a single session DATA DVD and gnome did not mount it and it still show CD-RW/DVD-RW (ie. no media) but mounting it with mount /dev/sr0 /mnt/foo works so I suspected a problem with hal Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): hal-0.5.12-12.20081027git.fc10.i386 Additional info: I tried to diff the outpuf of the following command before and after inserting my DVD: dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager.GetAllDevices the only line differs is the first line (useless) method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.XX reply_serial=2 I attached the output of dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/Manager org.freedesktop.Hal.Manager.GetAllDevices dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/storage_model_DVDRAM_GH20NS10 org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.GetAllProperties
when I restarted my computer while the DVD is there hal see it!! but If I eject the media and reinsert it, hal won't notice it so here is the diff out put between the two commands (before and after ejecting it) --- devices-dvdin-after-eject.txt 2008-11-24 01:41:39.000000000 +0200 +++ devices-dvdin.txt 2008-11-24 01:36:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,5 +1,6 @@ -method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.76 reply_serial=2 +method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.59 reply_serial=2 array [ + string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_label_MyLabel" string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_aa_19_24_7e_09_b8" string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_4bc71d36_6b82_4422_b54d_a35785e51b8b" string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_B4BC41F3BC41B122" --- dvd-in-after-eject.txt 2008-11-24 01:41:22.000000000 +0200 +++ dvd-in.txt 2008-11-24 01:35:12.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ -method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.75 reply_serial=2 +method return sender=:1.0 -> dest=:1.69 reply_serial=2 array [ dict entry( string "storage.no_partitions_hint" @@ -109,10 +109,6 @@ variant string "/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/computer" ) dict entry( - string "storage.partitioning_scheme" - variant string "" - ) - dict entry( string "storage.removable.media_available" variant boolean true )
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Have you tried with the latest hal package in Fedora 10, Fedora 11 or tried Rawhide? In either case, can you let us know whether the issue is still happening, and give the current version of the HAL packages you're using? -- Fedora Bugzappers volunteer triage team https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers
This message is a reminder that Fedora 10 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 10. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '10'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 10's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 10 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
