OK, it will not be easy, but will not be that hard too.

First you will need to integrate pam on slackware. I suggest you download the scripts from the dropline project ("http://wiki.droplinegnome.org/index.php … ild_System"). Don't run the main script straight, just what is needed to build the pam package. Also, keep in mind that you must be carefull when you install pam and not reboot until you are sure you can login in the system. Open a console terminal and test if you can, case not, undo and try again.

Very good slackware SlackBuild scripts to build vte, dbus and dbus-lib can be found on "http://rlworkman.net/slackbuilds/SBo" (also for a lot of other libraries and applications). Is a very good place to look into. Browse the site, it has even a script to build xfce on slackware.

For PolicyKit, you first need to download it from its git repository. Do the following:
* grab the source tree - `git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/PolicyKit`;
* go to PolicyKit dir and generate configure and Makefile.in - `./autogen.sh`.
* Now you have configure and Makefile.in. Proceed as usual. You will need to create a goup/user account polkit:polkit;

Now is just hal. Well, it is straightforward and you already know the steps.

You can find a lot of information about how to compile and configure packages on "http://cblfs.cross-lfs.org/index.php/Main_Page". It is a "must check" if you can't wait until your distro make it available (what is the preferred way). But if you get addict to package "source download/unpack/configure/make/make install" cycle, I recommend you take a look on checkinstall "http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/".

Regards and good luck.

Oh, forgot to say, to install PolicyKit you will need to install pam too, as it is not integrated on Slackware by default I may spend a little bit more time adjusting the scripts.

I will post the SlackBuild scripts after a get home this night. Now that kernel 2.6.20 is out, and after all news about it, I will give it a try so will be of a little more help.

Regards.

Thunar is not using dbus, therefore several instances are running in the background and they all receive the 'oe a device is plugged, open a new window' signal.

If you are interested, I can generate some *.SlackBuild (for cairo, dbus, glitz, dbus-glib, hal and PolicyKit) scripts so that you can try the stable release of dbus (which is 1.0.2), but you are going to spend more time. :-\

I'm very enthusiastic.I even try to compile dbus dbus-glib and hal,but it failed through Policykit.
And , the hal of linuxpackages.net is disabled Policykit.

Oh! I still have a little problem with thunar mountting auto:
First time,thunar open *one* window for usb-disk,when I put in the usb-disk.Next time,thunar will open double windows. And the next ,next ,,, time , thunar will open several windows!!

That make me have to rm ~/.config to avoid！

Do you have a good idea for that?

Also, don't forget that if you want these services to run automatically you need to list them on rc.M or rc.local (the last is the preferred method) on your Slack.

Regards and rejoice.

;D I finally succeed，when I installed dbus-0.93 that download from here.

AND now I had installed files for auto mount removible devices:
udev-097-i486-10.tgz
dbus-0.93-i486-1gm.tgz
dbus-glib-0.72-i486-1mht.tgz
hal-0.5.8.1-i486-1kjz.tgz

Thanks all above!

Well I'm glad to say I finally have it working on X86-64 (64-bit) ;D !

But there are a couple of mysteries. Though, more on this later. But this is what I did;

1. Install slamd64 as normal . Also installed python - this isn't installed by default by the installer btw.

2. Add a non-root user (I added a test user, aaaaa) .

3. As root- Install these packages from here ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ );

* hal-0.5.8.1-x86_64-2dl
* vte-0.14.1-x86_64_1dl
* dbus-bindings-0.92-x86_64.1dl
* cairo-1.2.6-x86_64_1dl

(now stay as root for now!)

Also openssl and its libs are needed, however it appears they are installed by default by the slamd (slackware 11 64 bit) installer .

4. Get URI 1.35 from here ( http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/URI-1.35/ ) . Compile and install by;

* perl Makefile.PL
* make
* make test
* make install

5. Get dbus version 0.93 - note *no* other version seems to work. It can be found here ( http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/ ) .

6. Add the group & user for dbus;

* groupadd -g 28 messagebus

* useradd -c "D-BUS Message Daemon User" -d /dev/null -u 28 -g messagebus -s /bin/false messagebus

And compile it with
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

7. Then do this;
ln -s /usr/lib/libjpeg62.0.0 /usr/local/lib/libjpeg.so
ln -s /usr/lib64/libSM.so /usr/local/lib/libSM.so

8. Download glitz-0.5.6 from here ( http://cairographics.org/snapshots/ ) and compile it. Compile with ./configure --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64 then make & make install.

9. Install Thunar, Thunar goodies & XFCE4.4 & XFCE4.4 goodies with the graphical installer.

10. Modify /etc/fstab - change in the line with /dev/cdrom on it from "owner" to "user".

11. chmod 0777 /media/*

12. chmod 0777 /mnt/cdrom (where my cdrom is normally mounted -- yours may differ).

13. Put rc.messagebus into /etc/rc.d

14. Edit rc.local to read;
rm /var/run/dbus/pid
./etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
./etc/rc.d/rc.hal start

15. Modify the files in /etc/dbus-1

Restart, start xfce by typing startxfce4 as *non* root and it should hopefully work!

BTW, I had to pinch the rc.messagebus off my laptop to make this work. It should go in /etc/rc.d/

Now for the mysteries.....

A) Why won't any other version of dbus other than 0.93 work? Nothing else worked they just caused problems.

B) The modifications/creation of the files in /etc/dbus-1 I'm not sure about. I don't know what to change so I cheated, I pinched the ones from the laptop and used those .

Other notes:
* No kernel upgrade to 2.6.18 was needed after all in slamd64.

Now it seems to be working, all I need to do is to go through all this again so I can verify I've left nothing out!

Then you need to install the thunar-volman package. You can read more about it here.

Interesting. I have the same problem, but I do not have that option in my Thunar prefs. I only have something about when to ask whether to update perms for subfolders.

dummy@example.com (ljones) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 18:38:17 +0000

AH now I might have an answer for this. I used some of the packages at this site ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ ) . However, this didn't seem to work. But I thought about trying the exact same version of dbus (dbus-0.93) as I'd done on the IBM laptop. Previously, I had been using other versions, such as dbus-0.92, 1.01, 0.95 etc.

Unless it's a fluke, it appears not using the dbus package from http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ (but I am guessing the dbus bindings would still be needed, I do not know) seems to work - if you don't have it installed, don't install it, if you do use pkgtool and get rid of it !

The following seemed to work:
* Get the source for dbus-0.93

Do the following;

/configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --libdir=/usr/lib64
make
make install

groupadd -g 28 messagebus
useradd -c "D-BUS Message Daemon User" -d /dev/null -u 28 -g messagebus -s /bin/false messagebus

Weather or not it worked because the "old" (actually newer, v1.01) dbus had been there I am not sure.

dummy@example.com (ljones) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 15:45:28 +0000

BTW, This might help with some others out there. This dosen't fix my problem however. I forgot to mention I do have one system that does automount properly with XFCE4.4 *but* it is a 32-bit system, all the problems are on the 64-bit slamd64 system.

Note that this only works for 32-bit systems it seems -- I tried to do this for my 64-bit (slamd) system and it will not work (I get all the dbus/hal/not automounting the cdrom problems above);

For a 32-bit system (I used normal 32-bit slackware 11 running on an IBM T22 laptop to do this);

* install vte-0.14.1-i486-1mht.tgz
* dbus-0.93-i486-1mht.tgz
* dbus-glib-0.71-i486-1mht.tgz
* openssl-solibs-0.9.8d-i486-1.tgz
* hal-0.5.8.1-i486-1kjz.tgz

(Taken from http://www.linuxpackages.net/ ) .

You'll also need something called "URI-1.35", to install it --
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
(that can be found here, http://search.cpan.org/~gaas/URI-1.35/ )

Then install XFCE4.4 using the graphical installer;

./Thunar-0.8.0-installer.run
./Thunar-Bundle-0.8.0-installer.run
./xfce4-4.4.0-installer.run
./xfce-goodies-4.4.0-installer.run

You might possibly have to do ln /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.3 /usr/lib/libdbus-1.so.2 as well

Then, as root outside of X put this in /etc/rc.d/rc.local

rm /var/run/dbus/pid
./etc/rc.d/rc.messagebus start
./etc/rc.d/rc.hal start

Might also have to edit /etc/fstab and change "owner" to user.

Then finally start xfce4.4 by typing "startxfce4" as non-root.

On that laptop I am using a linux 2.6.18 kernel btw. Unless I've forgotten to mention anything that seemed to work. Trying to adapt this either with source or by using some non-official (64-bit) packages I found here ( http://saxa.droplinegnome.org/x86_64/2.16/2.16.2/ -- thse are 64 bit btw!) does *not* work at all I get all the problems I put in my previous posts unfortunatly :-( .

While I'm here I note that the 64-bit kernel version is 2.6.16.29 . I wonder if this is causing the problems? The 64-bit one seems to be slightly older than the 32-bit laptop's 2.6.18 . Would that make a difference (I am not sure!)? From memory when installing slamd64, I used the kernel called something like "huge26.s" btw . The laptop's slackware 11 kernel was updated from my Slackware 11 (32-bit) DVD, I used the one in "/testing".

EDIT: I tried compiling a 2.6.18 kernel (x86_64) (as again there are no packages, or at least nothing that supports reiserfs) unless I missed something in the compile/config it dosen't seem to have made any difference.

That's precisely what happens to me -- though I can't use any packages from that site as there are no "official" HAL or DBUS or Policykit 64-packages avaliable x.x

Hum, lets try the hard way. Can you post the result of `ps -A` before and after that thing happens? I suspect that or dbus or hal or both is/are being killed or going crazy.
Do the following:
- open one terminal;
- type `dbus-monitor`;
- you shold read the requests and messages exchanged.
For HAL you can try:
- lshal.
Also, there are many steps you should accomplish. Take a look on "hal-spec.html". Have fun!
I'm still running the good old kernel 2.4.x (it means no HAL for me) but, if you can't fix the things or if someone else reports the same problem, I will install a new one just to check out.

Re: [SOLVED]thunar can't mount/umount removible devices automaticaly

dummy@example.com (yongyi) — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 15:28:13 +0000

That's intresting!
Today, I upgrade dbus dbus-glib hal that download from www.linuxpackages.net/ ,and can found rc.messagebus in /etc/rc.d/.

AND,I list rc.messagebus and rc.hal in rc.M,then reboot.That's work well for usb-disk,but cdrom didn't!!

AND,I try ljones's way:

The only way I can "fix" it (though sometimes I'll loose the desktop icons) is to do this in /etc/rc.d each time I need to use the cdrom
./rc.hal restart
./rc.dbus restart

when I do './rc.hal restart',cdrom's icons appear on desktop,but didn't at the thunar sidebar,and can mount or umount.
And then ,I run './rc.dbus restart',there is cdrom's icons appear at the thunar sidebar ,but the xfce-desktop disappear...on the Desktop,is nothing!
