Hal issue with kde4 ? [Fwd: Re: Shall I test KDE4 already ?]

[Lex Hider]

With latest kde 4 compiled by hand, there is an issue with the 
filemanager dolphin, and mounting removable media.

According to the kde guys, this is a fedora problem and not a kde problem.

See the email message below.

Note that the error I now get with latest F8 is:

"An error occurred while accessing 'name_of_media', the system said:
org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.PermissionDeniedByPolicy:
org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable no <-- (action,result)"H

this is a problem with ConsoleKit / fedora packages / your OS setup,  not
dolphin.

I would think the best thing for you to do if you really want to test kde4 is to
go ahead and install whatever is necessary to get the rawhide kde4 build into
your f8 (going to take replacing alot), and if you're concerned about keeping
the machine somewhat usable after that just avoid installing any more of rawhide
than necessary. (or just go all out!)

I would not waste 10 minutes attempting to make a hand compiled kde4 work with
f8 when its being done officially for f9 and already 'usable'.
