I have been waiting for KDE 4.5 as everyone said this would be the release that would really be OK, and I must say I am impressed with KDE 4.5 on openSUSE, it seems crisp and responsive. I do still have a showstopper however, and it seems to be an openSUSE problem. I have three machines on a network. Machines A and B run Mepis 8.0 (Debian based) with KDE 3.5.10; Both share files over nfs, and neither is a real "server", by which I mean they are not always on, so mounting shares at boot is not an option. Machine C is used for media editing and testing. It runs three distributions with KDE 4.x: Sabayon 5.1 with KDE 4.4.1, Mepis 8.5 with KDE 4.3.4 and openSUSE 11.3 with KDE 4.5.0 from factory. All three installs run the KDE Desktop in ForderView mode. All three have these lines in /etc/fstab: 192.168.1.x:/backup /server nfs noauto,users,exec,noatime,nolock 0 0 192.168.1.x:/video /servideo nfs noauto,users,exec,noatime,nolock 0 0 192.168.1.y:/data /centraldata nfs noauto,users,exec,noatime,nolock 0 0 and the "servers" are listed in /etc/hosts On all three installs, issuing this command as user works: mount /centraldata So nfs works, and mounting a share as a user works, obviously. The problems arrise when I create a ForderView "link to a device" that should mount the nfs share. On Sabayon /KDE 4.4.1 I can mount the shares (but umount doesn't work) On Mepis 8.5 / KDE 4.3.4 mount and umount work perfectly On openSUSE 11.3 / KDE 4.5.0 I still get the same old error: "mount: only root can do that". Of course it does work if I login as root, but... So: it's not an nfs setting or permission problem, as mounting from teh command line as user does work. it's not a KDE 4 problem in itself, as it does work in 4.3.4 on Mepis So it must be an openSUSE problem. Is there any magic to do? Does SUSE's KDE call executables that should have their permissions changed, or should my user be added to some group?
