Here's what I've done: I've installed hal-gnome package, turned on hal service on runlevel 5, commended out some fstab lines and rebooted machine. Well, gnome-mount crashes often, and I got some growfs error message after I successfully burned multisession DVD (?), which was ok thoe, but at least I can say that it works for now. After these unpleasent experiences, I can't say I'm gonna recommend upgrading from FC4 to FC5 instead of clean install. And here's my fstab, so you can see what lines I commented out, and what lines I took from my test system and manually added: [ijagec@munja ~]$ cat /etc/fstab LABEL=/1 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/boot1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 #none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 #none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home xfs defaults 1 2 #none /proc proc defaults 0 0 #none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 #LABEL=SWAP-hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 /dev/hda5 swap swap defaults 0 0 > On 3/22/06, Igor Jagec <igorm5@xxxxxx> wrote: >> I even tried to run hal deamon manually, to play >> with gnome-mount and so on, but all of that didn't help.

Which means it runs properly. BTW I tried to get english output with 'export LANG=en_EN.ISO8859-1', and it didn't help for that command, and for some it did (?).

Since gnome-mount crashes often, I'm not quite sure I solved the problem completely, but at least it works now. > 4) I'm still not sure what you attempted exactly, so its pretty > difficult to provide any feedback. I didn't know how to provide you more information, but I hope that above will help a bit. I saw on the redhat's news group that I'm not the only one who experienced that problem. -- Igor Jagec -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
