Subject: ivman don't process hal events after startup
Package: ivman
Version: 0.6.14-3.1
Severity: normal

Ivman don't see any device added or removed after it's startup. This describes normal startup without device added:

$ ivman --nofork --debug
manager.c:1387 (do_startup_configure) Directory /home/andrey/.ivman/ will be used for configuration files.
dbus_interface.c:108 (ivm_dbus_init) Connected to dbus

Then no additional messages show after device added (USB flash disk) dbus-monitor and lshal shown it's presence.

If device added before starting ivman, it's discovered and mounted.

Subject: Same here

Date: Fri, 27 Mar 2009 16:33:16 +0100

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi!


I see exactly the same behaviour on two different machines, one i386 on
2.6.26-Debian and one amd64 2.6.29 vanilla. Must be something new after
the Lenny release, I know it was working until recently.


What I see from strace, ivman hangs here:

futex(0x9f8e8e4, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 1, NULL

Find attached a detailed strace. FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE produces some
results on the net, at least ##520258 shows the same error.

The device is present in hal (lshal), dbus-monitor shows the
corresponding plug events.


gdb backtrace:

#0  0xb7f38424 in __kernel_vsyscall ()
#1  0xb7c72fb5 in pthread_cond_wait@@GLIBC_2.3.2 ()
   from /lib/i686/cmov/libpthread.so.0
#2  0xb7cbdcaf in g_main_context_wait () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0
#3  0xb7cbf8c0 in ?? () from /usr/lib/libglib-2.0.so.0


I've also attached the lenny strace, less futex operations, but polling.

Subject: At least 0.6.12-5 of the package works

Date: Thu, 02 Apr 2009 07:59:43 +0200

Hi,

I have the same problem here on three different machines. All machines
are running Debian testing with the latest updates. DBUS is sending
the events on the system message bus, but ivman does not care. This
behaviour changed a few weeks ago. In the beginning I thought that I
changed something that brakes the functionality, but now it seems that
ivman is responsible.

On all of my machines, ivman is running in user mode with a specific
user configuration. The system-wide ivman is disabled.

I installed version 0.6.12-5 of the package and it works fine. I don't
know whether there are more recent versions available. The problem at
least occurs on 0.6.14-3.1.


Best regards

Subject: ivman replacement

Date: Sun, 14 Jun 2009 11:36:41 +0200

Hi!

I googled a bit. ivman development has slowed down to stagnation, so
there's a replacement:

   apt-get install halevt

I'm not running the system daemon (START_DAEMON=no in
/etc/default/halevt) and simply replaced ivman in my .xsession by
halevt.

It's pretty much a drop-in replacement, so I don't care about ivman
anymore. ;)

Subject: [solved] ivman don't process hal events after startup

Date: Thu, 15 Oct 2009 04:41:09 -0700 (PDT)

The bug is caused by ivman calling xmlCleanupParser() after each xml parsing;
but it shouldn't: http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-parser.html#xmlCleanupParser

... and while you people are at it, there is a potential segfault
in ivman-0.6.14/src/manager.c:974 (the cfg is teste after is used)
