Description Detlef Riekenberg 2010-02-14 01:11:17 UTC

HAL is now deprecated:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/hal

HAL replacement: DeviceKit
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2008-May/011560.html

DeviceKit-disks was renamed to udisks:

Comment 1 Dmitry Timoshkov 2010-02-16 09:20:16 UTC

Perhaps they could provide backwards compatibility for old APIs?

Comment 2 Rafał Mużyło 2010-07-31 23:55:18 UTC

As I already said in bug 21617 (that *somebody* closed
a few days before this one was opened), the part that's
important is libudev, not udisks.

DeviceKit itself went dead anyway, useful parts of
it being absorbed into either libudev or libgudev
(udisks is a different matter, of course).

There could be no "compatibility API", as that was
redesign of the concept, not lib.

Migrating to libudev might even simplify things a bit,
as dbus will be taken out of equation.


OT: While I'm often not very clear on what's really my point is,
so my bug did seem a bit chaotic, I still think closing it was a bit premature.

Comment 3 David Heidelberg (okias) 2011-05-19 10:41:20 UTC

Yes, HAL shouldn't be used on linux systems anymore. :-)

libudev is not an option:
- monitoring events works only for uid=0
- you don't get an event on mount / umount

Created attachment 35347 [details]
demo app to dump and monitor udisks devices

compile with:
gcc demo_dbus.c `pkg-config --cflags --libs dbus-1` -Wall -o demo_dbus

options:
--verbose  dump all fields of the request and the result message
--GetAll   use method "GetAll" to fetch all device properties at once


examples for dbus-send:
dbus-send --system --print-reply  --dest=org.freedesktop.UDisks /org/freedesktop/UDisks org.freedesktop.Udisks.EnumerateDevices


dbus-send --system --print-reply  --dest=org.freedesktop.UDisks /org/freedesktop/UDisks/devices/sda1   org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.GetAll string:org.freedesktop.UDisks.Device
