I am using this hal: martin@shambhala:~> apt-show-versions | grep hal hal/squeeze uptodate 0.5.14-2 hal-cups-utils/squeeze uptodate 0.6.16-3 hal-info/squeeze uptodate 20091130-1 libhal-storage1/squeeze uptodate 0.5.14-2 libhal1/squeeze uptodate 0.5.14-2 [...] There is no newer version in unstable or experimental ATM. But well this used to work in KDE 4.3.4 so it might not be an HAL issue at all. I can confirm this bug: Version: KDE 4.4.2 OS: kubuntu 10.4 Installed from: kubuntu Stopped working after upgrading from kubuntu 9.10, where everything worked fine. 02:00.0 SATA controller: JMicron Technology Corp. JMB362/JMB363 Serial ATA Controller (rev 02) fdisk partition table. Drive is working fine after mounting from dolphin, where all partitions are shown properly. Only Device Notifier says "no devices plugged in". Thanks I do not own the hardware to reproduce this; could you please provide an output of solid-hardware list details Created attachment 43673 [details]
output from "solid-hardware list details"
Not sure, which part you need, so you get it all ;-)

Can you reproduce also the fact that if you connect the device via usb, then they all correctly show up?
if so, could you please attach the same output when you connect the device via usb?
Thanks a lot
I found this: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12127 Apparently HAL incorrectly reports eSATA HDDs as non-removable, hence the device notifier does not (correctly) show the device under "removable devices" In the link above you find a workaround to make HAL work as expeceted. Thanks a lot __J Hi Jacopo, thank you for your assistance. So I'm going to check for changes regarding HAL. As I said, it worked perfectly until upgrading (but that might be a strange incidence from previous upgrades... ;-). Just had a quick glimpse at the bug/workaround you refered to: I'd guess that will render all SATA devices as plug-able and would clutter the device manager list for me... If I find something I'll let you know Cheers Frank > As I said, it worked perfectly until upgrading (but that might be a strange > incidence from previous upgrades... Indeed in 4.4 the device notifier shows only removable devices (this can be changed in the device notifier settings, but changing the option *will* clutter your device list); in 4.3 this check was not made. > I'd guess that will render all SATA devices as > plug-able and would clutter the device manager list for me... You can indeed add the pluggable flag selectively to a specific device by adding the relevant match to the fdi files. You'll likely be able to find info about that by googling around, but you got the idea. __J *** Bug 277392 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
