Hi all, I installed KDE this evening to see how it reacts with the BLFS versions of D-BUS and HAL. I am totally impressed. It works perfectly.
Inserting flash drives causes HAL to do its thing with creating the mount points and fstab entries (this is nothing to do with KDE), then KDE responds by prompting you with what you want to do (open in a window or do nothing). You chose and of course it does whichever you chose. If you open in a window, the drive is mounted and the contents displayed in Konq. Way Cool! Then, you can click the box so that every time you insert a similar device, KDE responds the same (mounts the device and opens a Konq window with the contents). Was absolutely flawless. I tried it with all 3 of my USB drives (a 128mB Memorex TravelDrive, a 256mb SanDisk MiniCruzer and a 2.8GB Western Digital external) at one time with no issues. All work perfectly. Way, way cool! Automatic mounting and access to the devices without doing anything except plugging them in. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 22:42:00 up 100 days, 8:06, 3 users, load average: 0.05, 0.05, 0.18 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
