https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=348285 Summary: GParted installed through YaST and run inside of 10.3 kills hotplugging Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Usability AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joelinux@earthlink.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: Customer I also suspect that GParted disables hotplugging for some reason and then the end user can't get it going again or doesn't have the knowledge to do so. I 'm reiegated to dropping back about 5 to 7 years to the Slackware 3.0 approach and setting up directories to manually mount the USB devices. I have set this up: jl@SuSEkai:~> su Password: SuSEkai:/home/jl # mount /dev/sdb3 /usb/storage SuSEkai:/home/jl # mount /dev/sdc1 /usb/rosewill SuSEkai:/home/jl # mount /dev/sdd1 /usb/sansa SuSEkai:/home/jl # mount /dev/sde1 /usb/sansacard SuSEkai:/home/jl # cd /usb SuSEkai:/usb # ls roland rosewill sansa sansacard storage SuSEkai:/usb # I have to su to root just to use my USB devices. -- 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.
