The autostart behaviour can be configured by right-clicking the SuSEplugger icon on Taskbar and selecting Configure. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Kimmo
Tack, I remember that I once upon a time had something called "SuSEplugger" in my tray, but it's no longer there. How do I launch it? I've browsed through the menus, but I must have overlooked it. Nothing happens when I just call "suseplugger" from the commandline. Best regards, /Lennart torsdag 26 januari 2006 12:41 skrev K. Elo:

What happens if you right-click a free area of the applet area and select "add applet"? AFAIK, a dialog with all available applets should appear. SuSEplugger should be there... Kimmo

That is strange. This is a silly question, but don't know if it's been asked: Do you have System Tray added to the panel? For me, the suseplugger looks like a PCI board next to my clock. I did 'suseplugger --help' perhaps you can experiment with the --plain switch? Kill the running instance first though. Alvin -- Please reply to the mailing list.
I have a system tray with lots of useful litte gadgets, e.g. kwallet, you, scpm, etc etc. But no suseplugger. suseplugger --help gives only the generic switches. I'm NOT given any help for any suseplugger-specific switches. I tried suseplugger --help-all; this also only gives generic help. No "--plain" switch in sight. /Lennart torsdag 26 januari 2006 16:28 skrev Alvin Beach:

I don't know why, but this appears to be the way it works on 10.0. I see it when I, say, insert certain kinds of external media, such as various kinds of CD / DVD media. Then it will ask me what to do with it (play audio, execute auto-run file, launch K3b and so on). But there's no tray icon visible ever. Perhaps this is a bug. It's conceivable it's happening because when I installed 10.0, I kept the same home directory (including ~/.kde) that I had on SuSE 9.1, SuSE 9.3 and now 10.0.

Hi, just an idea... Do you have a left arrow on the left side of the of the system tray? It's possible that you have more applets running than fits onto the visible area of the tray. If you click the arrow, you should see all applets. Kimmo

I used to run 9.1 and the SuSEplugger was more directed at hardware detection and certain subfs stuff (in order to "auto" exec cdrom disks when inserted) and used to config new hardware such as bluetooth, firewire, usb, etc... Now I'm running 10.0 OSS and the SuSEplugger is more tied to YaST2 and YOU - there is no more hardware or info tied to it any longer. So it appears the the SuSEplugger many of use have become accustomed to has changed it's core functionality. Before there was a program to check for updates in the sys tray and a hardware monitoring program, two close but different programs (with "some" autostart functions - but not like the autostart folder/dir). Now it's under the guise of a YOU monitor - so I don't think that this is going to serve the same function that one might have used from previous versions.

(sorry Curtis) Somewhere i read that Novell removed suseplugger on purpose from the system tray in 10.0. Can't find it anymore but it was noted earlier on when 10.0 arrived. Question is what does the trick nowadays. Hal? Udev? Peter Vollebregt

I think they just hid it, since when you look at your process-list you will still see a suseplugger process-list. If I remember correctly, they added a configure-button to any dialogue it pops up. So if you insert a CD or something it should ask what to do and offer the congure-thingy as well. You might have a problem though to re-enable it, since you need those dialogues (which you disabled) to get to the config. Also, you might run into a problem if you enabeld "Do not ask again" for all actions, since that too means that you cannot trigger any dialogue anymore. I think this is a bug and should be reported. Sven
I believe I have some more clues and a partial solution: I've found I can bring up the old suseplugger popup by invoking dcop suseplugger HWHandler popupConfiguration NB! This is the old suseplugger dialog which supposedly is obsolete in 10.0. By disabling "Start the application Directly" I get rid of the automatic launch of kscd etc. What about the "new" dialog? Since I've did the mistake of enabling "Do not ask again" for audio CDs, I connected a USB disk and got the dialog back. I have not found any dcop way to display it. The title bar of the dialog claims it come from "KDE-demon", but I found nothing useful by fiddling with "dcop kded" etc. I can now toggle the "authomatic action" for audio CDs, but kded crashes when I try to save the setting. fredag 27 januari 2006 09:00 skrev Sven Burmeister:

You can access its settings in kcontrol. I think it is called attached devices. Sven
Ah, thank you! I found it in kcontrol under peripherals->storage media. kded still crashed when I tried to toggle the "automatic action", but I was able to reset to default settings, which brought the popup back. The automatic launch of kscd came from the old suseplugger which apparently is obsolete in SuSE 10.0 and ought to be disabled. Bring up the suseplugger dialog by dcop suseplugger HWHandler popupConfiguration and disable automatic launches alt. disable suseplugger altogether.

Suggest a test. as user mv .kde kde.backup then log out, restart x and see if the behavior repeats. Thanks for the warning this machine has been 8.2, 9.1 and 9.2 so I may have to clean out a lot to make it 10.0 -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/
