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.

So it's most likely packman package otherwise don't bother to reassign back. -- 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 _________________
