[Bug 348285] New: GParted installed through YaST and run inside of 10. 3 kills hotplugging
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.

I found out about it on the Sidux forum. I have removed the file and my SuSE system is working again as it should. But this caused a great deal of anquish and lost work time. In fact I ended up installing Sidux on another drive and have more or less switched over to using that. My suggestion is that gparted should be removed from the SuSE repositories as it's a very bad idea to run it from inside of SuSE. The only way it should be used is from it's own live CD so that it can't corrupt your system. This kind of error creates a lot of bad PR for Novell. Even thought it's not really their fault. But it does make the OS look really bad. It causes Novell SuSE to lose users as they end up switching to other distros. -- 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.

I'm presently using Sidux as Sidux had posted the cure on their user support forum. http://sidux.com/PNphpBB2-viewtopic-t-6340.html We finaly found a possible reason, why usb-device automount fine for most users, but some don't get an icon or a notifier. The culprit is gparted. If that crashes after partitioning, which it does sometimes in the current version, it create the file Code: /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/gparted-disable-automount.fdi that prevents usb-devices being automounted or an icon appearing. so, if you have such an issue, look if you have the above file: Code: cd /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/ ls -l if its there: rm -rf gparted-disable-automount.fdi or use a gui to delete the file. reithi found this answer in a fedora forum and it took me days to crash gparted, but it worked Wink greetz devil _________________

It crashes and as a result causes USB divices not to be mounted.
