Did you actually remove hal from your system and update kdebase3 package? Also check if process named devmon-automounter is running. Does the removable media appear in the /media folder after insertion?
OK, went back in to the 12.1m3>m5_x86/kde3 test partition, which had been restored to workable status (putting back in HAL, kdebase3_SuSe stuff, and kde3-kio_sysinfo last evening -- see previous message). Checked that automounting DVDs was fine and showing up in /media. All OK. That's the baseline. FYI, devmon-automounter IS already installed in /opt/kde3/bin via the kdebase3-workspace-3.5.10.1-184.5 package, the most up to date from kde:/kde3 factory. Then used Yast to delete ONLY HAL and kde3-kio_sysinfo, over-riding to keep the existing/installed kdebase3_SuSE and its corresponding "lang" rpm. BTW, kde3-kio_sysinfo IS a dependency of kdebase3_Suse. Logged out then back in. Everything seems to work. A DVD inserted in the burner throws up the KDE "what do you want me to do" dialogue, and the DVD appears as normal in /media using Konq. I tried most items in the menu system, and all came up --- didn't try the discrete functionality of each, just made sure there wasn't a burp. So I guess that we are in good shape. The "My Computer" icon on the desktop still does squat-all, so I guess that "functionality" could be either fixed or deleted from the kde3 portion. BTW, Ilya, one update came in while I was testing, but looking at it, it says "nothing provides libnetsnmp.so.30 needed by kdeutils3-3.5.10-71.1.i586", so I passed on installing it. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kde3+help@opensuse.org
