Hi, this is a very fresh install of 10.2 32 bit, updated10 minutes ago, with the latest KDE 3.5.7 release 43.1.
I can not see the floppy icon anywhere. I enabled in the desctop config to show device icons, including mounted and unmounted floppy, but it's not on the desktop. It does not show in System/Storage media in konqueror. In "My Computer" after the CD-ROM drives, there is a small floppy icon, but there is no underlined text after it, and the icon is not clickable.
In /etc/fstab I have this line: /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto noauto,user,sync 0 0
So, I decided that it is automountable, and with konqueror I opened /media/floppy, but it is empty - it did not mount it. dmesg shows nothing about this.
Then I used mount /media/floppy and it mounted ok as a user. I could umount it as well.
But even mounted, the icon did not appear anywhere.
Now, I'm ok with mounting the floppy manually, but it is a problem for my newly converted coworker.
What can be the problem? How do I make this icon and the auto-mounting work?
Some additional information - I just found that there is a floppy icon at the bottom of the "Computer" section in the "new" kde menu. It's just an icon, no text on the line. Anyway - clicking on it, it opened konqueror in system:/media/fd0, which is empty (and I'm sure on the diskette there are files). Then I right-clicked on that icon (in the Computer menu), and selected Mount. It produced an error: Error - kio_media_mounthelper : Could not read /tmp/kde-MYDOMAIN\sunny/kio_fileWgUab.tmp. The directory is there, but the file is missing. The directory has the right permissions rwx for the owner, and the owner is MYDOMAIN\sunny and the group is MYDOMAIN\domain admins. I'll try to log in with a local account to see what happens. -- Svetoslav Milenov (Sunny) Even the most advanced equipment in the hands of the ignorant is just a pile of scrap. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
