No drives in SuSE menu after update

[Tautrimas]

I updated some packages through equo (kde, maybe hal and some others) and now I don't see any of my partitions in the menu in Computer section. I also can't see any partitions in system:/media.

[wolfden]

well check your version of hal, if it is 0.5.10 than downgrade it to previous version as the new hal is broke.

[Tautrimas]

Well, it's 0.5.9.1-r7. Updating to r8, but I don't expect anything.

* EDIT:

Of cource, no difference after update.

[wolfden]

hmmmm - either of those version should be good.

so your /media folder is empty?

[Tautrimas]

Code: Select all

$ ls /media
floppy  h  sr0

I used h for some playing some time ago. Actually, /media is always looking like this, unless I open partition in "system:/media" or in Computer menu. But those two appears to be empty. Neither NTFS nor EXT3 partitions appear there.

when u installed hal-0.5.9.1-r8 did u use equo or emerge

I would use emerge to reinstall it and than make sure you etc-update your config files and than you may have to /etc/init.d/hald restart

It's got to be something with hal

[Tautrimas]

Code: Select all

emerge hal && cfg-update -u && /etc/init.d/hald restart

Now, system:/media is showing what it is supposed to show. After Ctrl+Alt+Backsps menu is still empty. Half a problem solved (:

Another question: when could equo be used? It's fast, but as I see, not ultra reliable. Updating compiz also failed using equo.

[wolfden]

Keep in mind that equo just reached beta stage with the release of beta 3.5 and make sure you are keeping up with svn equo as it changes a lot. I don't use the suse kicker so not sure how that all works.

You said u updated a bunch of stuff - wonder if re-emerging the kicker will fix it. ??

[Tautrimas]

Ok. I'll try your peaces of advice.

[Tautrimas]

Ok, synched and did:

Code: Select all

emerge kicker

. Now, no kicker at all... There is an option to use SUSE kicker from the panel options but nothing happens upon pressing APPLY. Oh, yeah, happens: all programs from topmost taskbar disappears (:

And one more thing: I didn't make out how to compile equo from svn. Anyways, thank's for your helping, wolfden!
