Ok, I upgraded to testing. All harddisk partitions appear in "media:/" , but my root filesystem appears unmounted! The more important issue now is this: I have two optical drives - a dvd combo drive(hdc), and dvd writer(hdd). All media I put to hdd shows up fine. But for "hdc", most stuff doesnt show up in media:/ or a popup in kde. So far, the popup came only for an audio cd, and no other type of media. (no notification or entry in media:/ for data dvd, data cd, or vcd). This behaviour was present even before i upgraded to testing. So to me, it still seems like an issue with hal 0.5.8. What do you recommend ? downgrade to 0.5.7 and live happily everafter or you got some patches for me? :) -- Vinay S Shastry http://vinayshastry.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
