Give them manual usb mounts.

/dev/sdb1 /media/FlashDrive vfat noauto,user 0 0

Then create an icon on the desktop to click and mount from there. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/

Thanks Carl, I'll try this as a temp solution, but I guess I started to be more curious where the thinks may broke. I can not find any documentation how that system works. Obviously, the hotplug system is OK, as it creates the device. But I can not find what is in charge to create the corresponding fstab entry, and to mount the device. So far it looks like a SuSE problem, not hardware problem. Maybe some script was not called when needed, or some service is not running, but I have no info to track it down. Any suggestions? Cheers Sunny

Post your fstab to the list so we can all study it.

Here is the fstab. The problem is that the "thing" does not create a new entry when the mp3 player is plugged in. Using dmesg I can see that it is connected and /dev/sda1 is created. But after that the whole automounting does not happen. /dev/hda2 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1 /dev/hda3 /boot ext2 acl,user_xattr 1 2 /dev/hda1 swap swap pri=42 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder subfs fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosuid,sync 0 0 Cheers Sunny

Check the USB device in /media. It should be mounted and available there. If not it may appear on your desktop/

No, the entry in /media is never created. Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85

Have you checked usbview to see if it show up there correctly. I run gnome and there are two programs that run a bit finicky, suse watcher and suse plugger. If you are runing gnome make sure it is laoded in the tray. If it does not, the program is not operating correctly. I found to make it work is to wait about 30 seconds after the system presents the login window. If you are running KDE I can not help you there.

KDE here :( Sunny

I tried it on a user with KDE. The suseplugger should show up on the bottom left hand corner in your tray. I notice that KDE will now wipe out the entry in the /media.

Why don't you try a new user that has has not files including the .files. Try and run a new KDE session on it. Maybe, there are some files that need to be corrected or created to make it work correctlu. I have found out after I started a KDE session my account I can get Kinternet to work properly/

Hi Joseph, I'll give it a try, and I'll report back. Cheers Sunny -- Get Firefox http://www.spreadfirefox.com/?q=affiliates&id=10745&t=85
