2006-05-25removed net.interface_up property because we never refresh the value, sinceDanny Kukawka1-1/+1
this info is gone into NetworkMananger and removed from HAL (see fd.o bug #6233). changed net.interface_up to not mandatory
2006-05-19Don't stat autofs mounts. Patch from John (J5) Palmieri <johnp@redhat.com>.David Zeuthen1-8/+17

Also change s/DOCBOOK/XMLTO/ in the Makefile.
2006-05-14On some laptops, the brightness control is all done in hardware but theRichard Hughes1-0/+15
hardware also synthesizes keypresses when the brightness is changed. If laptop_panel.brightness_in_hardware is set true, then any power manager software should not attempt to set any new values on brightness keypress, as it may cause the panel to flash uncontrollably. This patch sets the aforementioned key for the IBM ThinkPad X31.
2006-05-12In Ubuntu we got several bug reports about device label gibberish, forDavid Zeuthen6-9/+42
example: https://launchpad.net/bugs/27897. This happens if the label is either truly bogus, or in a non-UTF-8 compatible encoding. The blunt solution would be to just ignore any non-UTF-8 labels, but since it might be preferable to retain labels which are only 'lightly' damaged (maybe one Umlaut in an otherwise valid string), I wrote a small patch to ignore invalid labels if they contain more than 20% illegal characters. Patch from Martin Pitt <martin@piware.de>.
2006-05-09added property for DVD+RW DL to specDanny Kukawka1-0/+8
reworked detection of device capabilities to get correct DVD-RW info and added DVD+RW DL detection. fixed mapping of return value of get_dvd_r_rw_profile() related to changes added property DVD+RW DL

2006-05-09* doc/spec/hal-spec.html: * doc/spec/hal-spec.xml.in: *Richard Hughes7-18301/+9319
doc/spec/hal-spec-introduction.xml: * doc/spec/hal-spec-fdi-files.xml: * doc/spec/hal-spec-properties.xml: * doc/spec/hal-spec-examples.xml: Split up the spec file into more managable lumps using XInclude, and change to using xmlto to convert the docbook xml to html as docbook2html cannot handle the XInclude stuff as it's not valid docbook. This is the first of many cleanup patches to the spec, so expect the filenames to (maybe) change, or for files to be split even further.
2006-05-08* hald/linux2/osspec.c: (set_suspend_hibernate_keys): Depreciate the keysRichard Hughes1-2/+69
power_management.can_suspend_to_ram and power_management.can_suspend_to_disk in favour of power_management.can_suspend and power_management.can_hibernate so it's all consistent between the method names and the can_* keys. We'll remove the former keys in a year or so, but leave them now for compatability.
2006-04-28Update to new PolicyKit API.David Zeuthen1-35/+53
2006-04-26Patch from Gabriel Burt <gabriel.burt@gmail.com>.David Zeuthen1-10/+15
After some further consideration, I think the portable_audio_player.filepath_format property should be removed and a new property, folder_depth, should be created. The main point of the filepath_format property was to convey whether the device only supported a limited file hierarchy, but it ended up conveying much more than that - specifying exactly what directory structure the music files should go in, when that's really not appropriate (since the hardware doesn't care except in the hierarchy depth case). The folder to write files out to can be taken from the first entry in the audio_folders property. This change will allow the application to choose the appropriate directory structure (/podcasts/NPR/****, /Artist/Album/00 - Title, etc). I've attached a patch that make this change in the hal-spec.xml.in as well as another patch that adds some of these new properties for a few audio devices. Update spec Update to reflect new spec

least one value, and may have more than one value. The minimum necessary keys (case-sensitive) are MANUFACTURER, COMMAND SET, and MODEL.

Don't set button.type or button.has_state as these are merged from the fdi file. Use absolute paths in HALD_RUNNER_PATH and PATH cuz otherwise helpers won't get invoked...

2006-01-29Rename acpi_method to access_method andRichard Hughes2-4/+4
HAL_PROP_LAPTOP_PANEL_ACPI_METHOD->HAL_PROP_LAPTOP_PANEL_ACCESS_METHOD for the laptop_panel device. This is required as the access method can now be "pmu" which is nothing to do with acpi. I'm not aware of this being used anywhere outside of HAL, so we should be okay changing the key name.
2006-01-21Ugh, make this work on empty strlists otherwise we return corrupt data andDavid Zeuthen1-204/+1
may crash the runner via D-BUS since we pass non-UTF-8 over D-BUS. Print pid of runner and make space for passing DBUS_VERBOSE=1 in the environment (right now commented out)

Add probing for disc capacity. Fixes fd.o bug #2233
2006-01-21Great patch from Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@luon.net>: As most people probablyDavid Zeuthen1-4/+4
know by now, various people don't really like that hal running as root. We'd much rather see only a small process running as root and the main hal process running unpriviledged. Which is exactly what this patch does :) How does it work? Just before drops it's root privs. a small program is startup which will remain running as root and does the real execution of the addons/probes/callouts on hals behalf. Communication between hald and hald-runner is done via a p2p dbus connection. Resulting in a process tree like this: hal /usr/sbin/hald root \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-runner root \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-acpi root \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-storage root \_ /usr/lib/hal/hald-addon-storage The patch consists out of two parts. First the implementation of hald-runner, which is about 700 lines of code. And then a part transforming the hald code from the current spawning code in utils to an interface that can talk to the runner. Add Sjoerd Simons <sjoerd@luon.net>. Revise my own email address. Add hald-runner Add hald-runner add hald_runner.[ch] New and changed files with slight changes. See the descriptive text above and discussion at http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/hal/2006-January/004327.html for details. Changed function hald_runner_start_runner() in hald/hald_runner.c to print out runner path and improve error handling when runner is not found. Also removed dbus_server_unref (server) in handle_connection() in same file. Remove --retain-privileges as this is no longer needed Remove --retain-privileges and use --with-runner pointing to ../hald-runner/hald-runner
