My guess is that suseplugger is what you're looking for. You may want to have a look at the following article: http://portal.suse.com/sdb/en/2003/10/suseplugger.html or google for more info.

I don't see a way to reactivate suseplugger on this site.

I use SUSE 10.0 Boxed version on x86_64.

I closed the pop-up-box for the Suse Hardware Detection where it is asked if you want to open for eg. a USB stick or CD, and checked the box that says "do not ask again". How can I get the pop up to come up again (ie. un-check the check box)?

/opt/kde3/share/config/susepluggerrc does not seem to have an option; In ~/.kde/share/config/susepluggerrc there is none either it seems: eg. [/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/net_a6_78_ad_e5_14_d2] PopupDone=true [CD media auto handler] CDdefaultApp_CDaudio_doAsk=true CDdefaultApp_CDaudio_doStart=true CDdefaultApp_CDblank_doAsk=true CDdefaultApp_CDblank_doStart=true CDdefaultApp_CDdata_doAsk=true CDdefaultApp_CDdata_doStart=true HDDCamdefaultApp_doAsk=false HDDCamdefaultApp_doStart=false [Default] CheckFor75dpi=false [General] Autostart=true DoNotShowPopup=false UseCDAutoStart=true UseCDMediaDetect=true Any idea to start SuSEPlugger to get to the option? Googled as well, to no avail. :-/ Al

from a command line: suseplugger --help

Two things: 1) Have you tried that? The output it produces can hardly be considered helpful: % suseplugger --help Usage: suseplugger [Qt-options] [KDE-options] Generic options: --help Show help about options --help-qt Show Qt specific options --help-kde Show KDE specific options --help-all Show all options --author Show author information -v, --version Show version information --license Show license information -- End of options 2) While suseplugger runs on my system and starts automatically at login: PID TTY STAT TIME COMMAND 7268 ? S 0:02 suseplugger [kdeinit] -caption SUSE Hardware Tool -icon hardware -miniicon hardware It does not put the old hardware icon into the system tray. Is this a change from the behavior it used to have, or is it a result of a configuration option?

Certainly

Your better than that:

By which I take it you meant "You're better than that." Nonetheless, it does not appear we're running the same version of suseplugger, because mine produces no non-generic help text, even if you give it the --help-all option. All the help output pertains to generic KDE or Qt options.

...

Did you look at all of it, ie: --plain

That is not documented in my suseplugger, nor is it accepted when used: % suseplugger --plain suseplugger: Unknown option '--plain'. suseplugger: Use --help to get a list of available command line options. Which version of SuSE Linux and of suseplugger are you running? % rpm -q --whatprovides $(type -p suseplugger) kdebase3-SuSE-10.0-21 % suseplugger --version Qt: 3.3.5 KDE: 3.5.0 Level "a" SUSEPlugger: 3.4.2

If I wanted it to dock, which the OP requested (air), looks like I would run 'suseplugger' w/o any options, especially '--plain'.

That may work on your system, but I've already tried it on SuSE 10, and it does not result in a system tray icon.

You want to be critical, get *all* the facts first.

To whom are you addressing this?

The OP should have enough interest in solving his problem to do part of the work!

Many things are not as they should be. I personally think it's better to refrain from responding it all than to respond only with admonishment, though I don't quite always manage to do that myself.

OK, Thanx. I just entered suseplugger w/o options and it came up when I plugged a usb device. How can I be sure that suseplugger starts with boot? :-) Al

check @: /opt/kde3/share/autostart/suseplugger.desktop for the line: X-KDE-autostart-condition=susepluggerrc:General:Autostart:true

Great, it is all OK now. It seems by just starting it once again from the console with the command 'suseplugger' w/o options restores the lines just as you point out with 'Autostart:true'. Thanx Partick :-) Al
