Devices on Desktop Stopped Working
I'm not sure what happened, but one day I noticed that when I plugged in my compactflash reader, although the device appeared on the desktop, instead of konqueror opening /media/CANON_DC, it tried to open the name of the device with media:/dev/sda1, which did NOT work. What changed, where can I look to fix it, etc...? Does anybody have any idea what to do here? I've rebooted a couple of times and other than that I'm not really sure where to check. If I use a console, /media/CANON_DC *is* mounted and I can access it that way. -- Carpe diem - Seize the day. Carp in denim - There's a fish in my pants! Jon Nelson <jnelson-suse@jamponi.net>

Are you sure you were doing the same thing as before?? CANON_DC sounds like a digital camera, not a generic compactflash reader.

Good question! However, I'm absolutely sure. Dunno why the compactflash card is called that, but it is.
