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...

This sometimes happens to me. If you do a 'ps -ef' you might see things like

hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sr0

which means my CDROM isn't automounting. Or I reboot and it is. Sometimes it's USB, or my memory cards. I haven't figured this one out, just observed it.

Which means its 'system' not KDE.

try as root: rchald restart

hald-addon-storage: no polling on /dev/sr0 because it is explicitly disabled

Oh? Where?

Well Anton, when I did a 'ps -ef' I saw - hald-addon-storage: polling /dev/sr0 (every 2 sec) but no joy getting My Passport USB drive recognized and automounted... Marc Chamberlin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
