TDE does not parse udisks/udev configuration files, but you can override
its device classifier through a currently undocumented mechanism which
involves adding a distro-specific .hwclass file to
${DATA_INSTALL_DIR}/tdehwlib/deviceclasses.
The .hwclass files operate by matching all conditions in the [Conditions]
section; if a match is found the device is classified according to the
rules in the [DeviceType] section. Look at
http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/tdelibs/tree/tdecore/hwlibdata/classrule…
for an example file which is used to classify floppy drives.
I have not tested this, but it should get you started:
hide-loop-devices.hwclass
[Conditions]
SUBSYSTEM=block
DRIVER=loop
[DeviceType]
GENTYPE=System

All,
I recently pushed a new (alpha quality) backend for the media:/ kioslave
which uses udev/pmount and therefore does not rely on HAL. I encourage
developers here to try it out!
Please report failures to this list, not to the bugtracker, as it has
not
been tested much beyond mounting simple flash drives. Encryption
support
is buggy, but repairing it is my next task.
Rhis will NOT be made default for R14.0 due to the vast array of
hardware
that it still needs to be tested on, but if your distribution no longer
works with HAL it may be better than nothing even in this alpha form.
To enable it, pass the -DWITH_TDEHWLIB="on" option to tdebase CMake.
Enjoy!
Tim
I built Trinity without HAL and udev (165) seems to be working. tdebase
would
not build with udev-181. One bug is that all loop devices are showing up
under
kioslave media:/ which is bad for me since our distro is based on modules
mounted on loopback. I have a rules file in:
/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules
containing:
KERNEL=="loop*", ENV{UDISKS_PRESENTATION_HIDE}="1"
but this makes no difference.
