"A security policy in place prevents..." Need Some help here.

[.K.S.]

Ok, i thought that i was just having n00b brain (and i know h@te will still say i do lol) but after a little research i found the solution to the problem, BUT when i went to look at the file it's there, but it's empty. so now i don't know if it's bt only or maybe i'm just doing something wrong.


THE PROBLEM:

When i plug a usb stick (jump drive) or even a CD in i get this:

A security policy in place prevents this sender from sending this message to this recipient, see message bus configuration file (rejected message had interface "org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume" member "Mount" error name "(unset)" destination "org.freedesktop.Hal")So now i'm really at a loss because of the empty hal.config file.

...............Any ideas?


Thnx to all.

sometimes the kde media manager doesn't load properly or with the proper priviledges, just type in "mount /dev/sda1" (for a usb device or something) if that returns an error message make sure you mount directories exsist, "ls /mnt/" if an "sda1" directory doesn't appear then "mkdir /mnt/sda1" and then "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1" there is a space between /sda1 and the /mnt just so you know. then in konqueror, type "/mnt/sda1" in the location bar and you should have your gui file browsing back, just don't forget to umount the device otherwise it won't save changes properly or sometimes even at all

....This sux lol.............. I've seen your reply earlier from my phone and couldn't wait to get home and try it out. .... Here's what i got: (maybe i'm still doing something wrong)...




bt ~ # mount /dev/hda
mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only

bt ~ # mount /dev/sdb1
mount: can't find /dev/sdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

bt ~ # ls /mnt
floppy/ hda/ sda1/ sda3/ sdb1/ sdb10/

bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/hda
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/hda': File exists

bt ~ # mkdir /mnt/sdb1
mkdir: cannot create directory `/mnt/sdb1': File exists







any other ideas?


btw, thnx for trying =)

The problem is with hal. I forgot the command exactly so someone correct me but i think its

hald start


Also your mount command is incomplete

It should be

mkdir cdrom (forexample)
mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

dev is the device node and /mnt/cdrom is the directory you want to mount the device to.

You can also add this stuff to your /etc/fstab file and the /dev/ nodes you specify will automount on boot. There is a a$$load of info on the web about how to configure /etc/fstab

doesn't seem to be working =( ... but thnx for all the help guys. .... do you guys think it would just be easier to re-install? ....like maybe i just had a bad install, and it could be fixed by a clean install? .... or maybe just something with the BT3F and macbook pros (2nd gen).


Also, how's bt3f feeling on eeepc's, thinking about getting one next,



Thnx all.

I am not sure what to tell you other than if you want one and can afford it then buy one. They have their uses however I do not think that it should be the sole platform for conducting pen-tests.

Everything looks ok.

I think I'll have to agree with purehate.. You're mounting wrong.

mount /dev/{device} /{location}

For example, I just did this on my machine as a test.

mount /dev/hdb1 /storage and it mounted a 40gig drive at /storage
