somewhat related to the device notifier discussion, I have a question about the (automatic?) classification of different devices.
When I realized that the beloved icons which made unmounting USB sticks, attached cameras etc. easy were gone in 12.1, I tried the hal-enabled repo. But for some reason, this didn't work at all for me and the icons didn't return. Even worse, the device notifier windows were also gone.
You should enable the hald service in Yast.
Thus I went back to the non-hal version. I more or less learned to live with the Storage Media icon, which points to media:/ in order to unmount these kind of devices after usage.
You also can use a kicker applet (although configure it to show all drives).
More or less, because I have one problem. The desktop PC here has a built-in multi cardreader. Whenever I insert an SD card, it is classified as a harddrive (typically as sdf), shown with the harddrive icon in media:/ You can probably already guess it - I accidentally unmounted the real harddrive sda instead twice so far because the icons look the same. On my netbook with 11.1 Evergreen, the same SD card put into the SD card slot is recognized as Removable Media with the camera icon in media:/
Can I somehow force this kind of icon behavior in order to avoid mistaking the icons? If not, it would probably already help when the information on the size would return, i.e. in 11.1 Evergreen media:/ shows me directly under the icon that the harddrive has 130 GB, while 12.1 says only "Hard Disk".
You can, but only by installing the packages from the hal-enabled repository AND enabling the hald service in Yast. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+owner@opensuse.org
