the above seems to depend on how ivman is started. If it is started with startkde such as ln -s /path/to/ivman ~/.kde/Autostart/ivman reliable behaviour is observed. The usb-sticks shows up in the pop-up plasmoid thingy and clicking thereon opens up the volume in dolphin. However if the eject button is pressed, the whole thing freezes. The best way to unmount is using pumount/media/usbdisk-x. (pumount works for whoever is in the plugdev group) I consider what I have now is a decent stopgap until kde4.3.0 hardenes (where hopefully the user mounting/unmounting of hot-plugabble devices such as usb-sticks will work more reliably). I hope those who had similar problems have been able to gain something useful from this thread. lux-integ -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
