[opensuse] KDE bug
I have convinced you ... maybe you can forward my snapshot to all the other Linux/SuSE gurus who think that I've been drinking ... actually I am teetotaller (no alcohol at all). I tried to report the bug but it's taking too long at filling out all the questionnaire .. I leave it with the experts .. I'm just a user. ANyway, I am surprised that this malfunctioning has not been detected yet. Usage of portable memory is quite common. Please, let me know about a patch or workaround. Thank you so much, Maura Maura Edelweiss M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

If both CD and usb devices do not work, I would think that possibly your udev subsystem might not work (correctly). First test with an usb Stick -plug it in -issue as root fdisk -l Your usb stick should be around the last line as /dev/sdx where "x" is some number. If not, I would COMPLETELY reinstall the udev subsystem and while you are at it, anything with "hal" in its name could also be a good candidate for a refresh. For sure this is NOT a bug with opensuse or kde. I saw a good dozen of 10.3 installs up to now and none of these misbehaved like this. In general this simply works. So I suspect that your box behaves "special". Questions: Is your computer a desktop or a notebook? Are you using IDE/Sata/Scsi or other disks? Is your CDrom attached via usb? Anything else you think worth to mention? Kind regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

The problem she is having is that her CD and USB stick work perfectly from the command line, but they never show up in the KDE sysinfo:/ page, so the halmount stuff doesn't work. There is a problem here, but I'm not totally sure where. Perhaps with resmgr, perhaps with hal, I'm not sure Anders -- Madness takes its toll -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

This is also being reported on a few openSUSE forums (eg at opensuse.us).... so it's not just one user.. but a bunch.. or maybe just one posting in many places :-) C. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

No, I think there really is a problem somewhere - I noted in an email to this list on 7 October just after 10.3 came out that it couldn't see a CD drive, where Ubuntu could. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.thinkopen.co.uk - blog www.kyfieithu.co.uk - KDE yn Gymraeg www.klebran.org.uk - Gwirydd gramadeg rhydd i'r Gymraeg www.eurfa.org.uk - Geiriadur rhydd i'r Gymraeg -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
