I can also mount them if I manually add the entries to the fstab. For example, I add a line something like this: /dev/hda2 /media/temp_mount vfat noauto,users 0 0 When I do this, then clicking on the icon in "My Computer" will work - ie no errors and we can browse the partition with Konq.
This works, but it's less than optimal - 9.3 should work better than this... especially with a clean install with all of the YOU updates (done during the install).
Well, I don't know why they were not detected during install. Perhaps Yast/hardware or roundabouts can add them now. But I wouldn't bother, I would simply define them in fstab, like: /dev/hda2 /windows/C vfat noauto,users 0 0 and forget about it. Then, pointing konkeror to "/windows/C" should work, I think. You can define it as "auto", of course: then they would be always available. Perhaps the issue is mentioned in the SDB, I dunno. The thing is, I don't use automount myself, but I'm interested in knowing.
I forgot to try plugging in the external/USB hard drive to see if it was automounted....
That's more important, IMO :-)
Any CD or DVD we put into his CD drive or DVD drive is not automounted (and
I think they are not automounted till you try to access them. But an icon might apear on the desktop for the CD as you put one.
On my computer when I first popped a DVD into the drive (on a clean install of 9.3), a window popped open asking me if I wanted to show the contents of the disk and asking if I wanted to save the choice. I selected No on my machine (cuz that's how I prefer it) but on my friend's machine nothing came up after the fresh install... that said, going to "My Computer" and clicking on the DVD icon (labeled correctly) opens Konq and I can browse the DVD.
No icon should show up on the desktop in a default 9.3 install (with KDE)... only in "My Computer".
I don't know: I use gnome normally, and I disabled automount. Still, the icon appears when I manually mount a CD, so I thought KDE acted similarly.
It might be worth noting that the icons in "My Computer" representing each drive partition are labeled correctly - ie the icon names match the partition names.
