Hi, I have a strange problem, all my usk storage devices do not show in kde's device notifier. I can see them fine with lsusb and mount them manually as root... but somehow I lost the nicety of easy click. any idea on what may cause it? I am tempted to blame policy-kit... but I do not have the proof. regards, Alin -- Without Questions there are no Answers! ______________________________________________________________________ Alin Marin ELENA Advanced Molecular Simulation Research Laboratory School of Physics, University College Dublin ---- Ardionsamblú Móilíneach Saotharlann Taighde Scoil na Fisice, An Coláiste Ollscoile, Baile Átha Cliath ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://alin.elenaworld.net ______________________________________________________________________ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Under xfce, they now get auto-mounted under /run/media/$USER --I was also wondering... Now sure about KDE, though. Probably worth noting in the release notes. -- Karl Eichwalder SUSE LINUX Products GmbH R&D / Documentation Maxfeldstraße 5 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GF: Jeff Hawn, Jennifer Guild, Felix Imendörffer, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I please need an expert who can shed light on this issue. How is it considered to work?

With KDE4, I still have /media/$SOMETHING mountpoints as in previous releases (and mointing is done after choosing for example "open in file manager" in the popup that comes up after plugging in an USB memory stick). Maybe this is a xfce-specific change? And/or my system's history (upgraded over several releases, including betas and factory) has something special that forces the /media/$SOMETHING mountpoint?

I use Tumbleweed and lost auto-mounting although devices were recognized and announced sometime during 12.1, but it came back sometime between rc1 and rc2 and is still functioning as is expected (kde). -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

I use Tumbleweed and lost auto-mounting although devices were recognized and announced sometime during 12.1, but it came back sometime between rc1 and rc2 and is still functioning as is expected (kde).

just to be clear... the problem is not automount... I do not care and I do not use it... the problem is that dolphin/device notifier do not present the usb devices to be mounted.... the system at lower level sees them: (the only exotic thing on this machine is the fact I installed 12.2 with lxdm and them duped to factory and then installed kde --all clean confings) [alin@abbaton:~]: udisksctl monitor Monitoring the udisks daemon.

This machine has been updated ever since the initial 10.2 installation, no fresh install. kdepim/akonadi/nepomuk/strigi are removed and deactivated as far as possible. I usually boot to "runlevel 3" and start X/KDE4 after text login. This requires "/usr/bin/Xorg root:root 4755" If I plugin a pendrive (USB stick) or insert a CD/DVD I am notified and asked what to do, e.g. "open with dolphin". If I select open with dolphin I get an error message that the device can not be mounted, it suspect the mountpoint can not be created. If I boot to "runlevel 5" the "open with dolphin" is working, the device is mounted under /media/ . But with my security settings I am asked the root password for shutdown/reboot. Therefore with this machine I stay with my "runlevel 3" default and use "workaround mount points" in the fstab. Kind regards, Dieter

Regards,

Christian Boltz I had a simular problem with 12.2 GM. MyComputer, Dolphin, Device Notifier and K3B were no seeing any devices. Partitioner and Hardware info were. On boot I was getting message " Consolekit failure" Also tested on 12.1 with 4.8.5 and got same failure. After much looking and testing I dropped back from KDE 4.8.5 to 4.8.4 on both systems. All devices were seen by all of above mentioned applications. Then reinstalled KDE 4.8.5 on 12.1 (backup system - actually dual boot, seperate harddrives) . It then worked. Did same on 12.2 and it is also working. Only thing I can think of was something in original repo's was bad or ?

not sure what this will tell you.
