In this case the error message is complete correct, but KDE should not try such things , but should always check if the needed method is really available for the device. Check for this line in lshal on the device: org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.method_names = {'Mount', 'Unmount', 'Eject'} Check the output of lshal for the volume of your floppy (there should be a device with the devicefile of your floppy and volume properties. You can also e.g. search for volume.fsversion = 'FAT12' if the floppy is VFAT) and replace the udi (second line in the command) with udi of your device in the following command (as root): dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest=org.freedesktop.Hal \ /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1553_17E8 \ org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Mount \ string:Floppy string: array:string:sync,ro Check if the device get mounted to /media/Floppy -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
