Hello:
I installed KDE 3.5.10 on openSUSE 12.1 and it is working well. But when I insert an USB flashdisk its icon is not placed on the desktop. A window is popping up and it recognizes the USB disk as a hard disk and not as a USB flashdisk. The flashdisk is mounted in /media/disk.
How can I get the icon representing the disk on the desktop similar to previous opensSUSE versions?
Thanks, Istvan

Now it recognizes the drive type from its name according the lanana specification http://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/devices.txt
I.e. it will recognize a driove as USB drive only if it is named ub* instead of sd*
That your drive is named sd* means your kernel recognizes the drive as a SCSI hard drive, and not as USB drive.
If you want to return the previous behavior, install kdebase3 package from KDE:KDE3:HAL-enabled repository.
