[Bug 49666] g-v-m stopped running after upgrade to Dapper

[Denis Malinovsky]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu Linux (Dapper, i.e. 6.06 version).  After upgrading from
previous version (Breezy, 5.10), I noticed my auto-mounting stopped
working---no more CD-ROM icon appeared after inserting CD.  I checked hal is
working OK, but g-v-m isn't running anymore.  I tried to run it in foreground
mode to see any error message using `gnome-volume-manager -n` but I had
nothing.  `strace gnome-volume-manager` also didn't add clarity.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Log in to Gnome.
2. Run `ps aux|grep gnome-volume`.  See nothing.
3. Run `gnome-volume-manager -n`.  The program closes immediately.


Actual results:
I see no output at all.

Expected results:
g-v-m should be run as daemon and appear in the process list.  CD automounting
should also work.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

Other information:
`lshal` shows hal works and updates information about my CD-ROM when I insert
CD.  Maybe it's significant---my user profile (/etc/passwd and /etc/group) is
handled with LDAP, I'm using libnss-ldap for it.

I filed a bug for g-v-m developers
(http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=343900), they're sure this
issue is related to Ubuntu, not g-v-m itself.
