I do not know how to test if this is working

will update and tag as built, until someone tells me it is checked.

The only place I see it being used is libfm, although I don't see what it has to do with volume control.

Looking at libfm, the udisks they are referring to seem to be internal. We may want to just archive udisks-1.

The beauty of English language is that it uses single word to describe several things. Volumes in the case of udisks doesn't relate to sound.

It is still used by xfce4-power-manager to manage disks power savings.

Replying to Krejzi:

There is no entry in pt.wikipedia.org, but volume, in Portuguese_BR describes audio property, capacity (3D size of objects) and also computer disks. :-)

It is still used by xfce4-power-manager to manage disks power savings.

Thanks. So, I am going to install xfce4-power-manager and this working fine will be the test.

But it is not listed there, so it has to be fixed.

On the other hand: kde/core/kdelibs.xml: <xref linkend="udisks"/> or <xref linkend="udisks2"/>

But I doubt Ragnar prefers this instead of udisks2.

Of course you can't find it in Brazilian wikipedia since as I said, it's English thing. It's probably named something else there like it's in my language.

As for xfce4-power-manager, I believe you need hdparm too with udisks but I might be wrong. I did notice messages about hard drive in my dmesg output seeing how hard drive pm gets changed when it boots on a cable and I disconnect the cable later. For KDE, udisks2 can be used but it requires a switch, which I don't remember was default. You can test the mounting thing using the "udisks" command (I forgot the syntax) but that requires valid D-Bus session registered with ConsoleKit, much like anything else that uses Polkit.

Thanks, Armin.

IITR having used those mount tests before, but tired as I am with this marathon, trying to get the book up to date, I forget things, make trivial mistakes, etc...

But volume = sound level (common language and physics), disk (informatics), capacity (cubic meters - physics), here. :-)

Fixed at r12860.
