Weird.  If I boot or reboot, log into root, and try to insert anything, nothing happens ... no KDE query re: "what do you want to do". If I log out, then log in as regular user, no problem inserting anything.  If I then log out of regular user and log in as root again, it works fine. Reboot to root login, and nothing is recognised again. Any ideas?  Pretty hard to burn anything (e.g.,) if inserted devices are not recognised in root.  Yeah, please don't say "operate as regular user".  TIA.

Well, that's probably the problem. It's likely that root isn't set to autorun a new device, which is safer security-wise. If you need to see if there is anything on the disk, start K3b. It will show you what's on it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
