Mount a removable media (I use KDE4) 2. Restart the computer without unmounting the media by KDE4 3. The drawer in /media is still present 4. When again trying to mount the media, a new mountpoint has to be created. Just tried it with removing those files, and different removable media (IPod, card reader, USB-Stick; all USB). -- 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.

Any time a removable media, mounted by KDE4, is still mounted when the computer shuts down, its entry in the "/media" drawer persists and a new mountpoint has to be created the next time the device is mounted. Manually unmounting the device before leaving KDE or shutting down the computer does circumvent the problem. -- 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.

Now, 1) is rather obviously a HAL problem and it is the problem discussed here (rising number of mount points). KDE cannot do much about it, since it can easily happen after unclean KDE session exit (power outage, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace, whatever). Therefore reassigning back to HAL. According to upstream maintainer, 2) cannot be solved by simply unmounting again everything mounted by that session, since e.g. the user may have another session running. So it'd perhaps make sense to do this after all user's sessions are closed, but that again requires the underlying stack. So if somebody has any actual problem with this issue, feel free to create a bugreport about it. This one was originally about many mountpoints in /media and that's 1). -- 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.

As best as I can tell we have a regression in HAL. It used to be able to reuse an old mount point, now it can't (even though, from what #14 said, it should be). Although your argument makes sense about KDE and GNOME cleaning up after themselves, this does not change the fact that there was a HAL regression of some sort that needs to be fixed nor does it change the fact that the DE cannot deal with unclean session exits. Therefore, at least to me, it makes sense that this should be labeled a HAL bug so the regression can be fixed, and someone should make a wishlist item for KDE and GNOME to do a better job with removable media. Also, just from a practical standpoint, there are one or two Priority 1 bugs for 11.1, which will reach RC1 status tomorrow and an internal final release a week later (one bug if you call it a HAL bug, two if you call it a desktop environment). Although I don't know the underlying issues at all, my fairly uninformed guess is that fixing a regression in HAL should be easier and much faster than writing an entirely new hardware handling system in two (or rather three or more, I guess) desktop environments, especially if #14 is right and all the information HAL needs is right there, it just isn't being used properly. -- 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.
