I recently upgraded a number of modules on my openSuSE 11.2 system and

have now lost the ability to plug in my USB external Passport hard drive and have it automounted under /media like it use to... What happened and how do I recover this nifty feature?

I have gone into the Device Notifier Settings and told it to Enable automatic mounting of removable media as well as checked the Automatically mount removable medial when attached. No joy.. The Device Notifier does not even detect that the USB drive was plugged in. The tool - lsusb shows it however, and I can manually mount it, a PITA...

Internet searches resulted in similar complaints but most were a couple years back and so far have not yielded any joy...

KDE version as reported by the Personal Settings dialog is Version 4.5.90 (4.6 RC1)

This could well be a bug in the new udev backend for KDE 4.6 that replaced hal, please make a bug report for this.
