------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-07-14 07:33 UTC ------- (In reply to comment #5) > The drive still fails to show up in media:/ (KDE "Media" view) You have incomplete installation. I just installed Kubuntu, to check these errors. When inserted, DVD shows in media:/, when attached, USB disc shows in media:/ (it even reads LABEL right). dbus/hal/udev combinations has numerus addvantages over subfs. For example, you are able to create devices that will automount on insert, or not. You can create crypto devices that will ask you for a password on insert, you are able to name every device individually (this stick will be /dev/stick1, this stick would be /dev/somet-other-stick-just-to-impress-friends-1). It enables you to put different scenarios for different medias (on insert, you can define to play DVD in xine, on blank CD you could setup to run k3b, etc, etc, etc...). This and other advantages are why allmost every other distro is switching to udev/hal/dbus. Even SuSE will drop it's very bad subfs (which is able to crash your system in some situations). And, subfs isn't kernel-only implementation. It does have kernel module, but it has user tool too, and, in the end, it isn't powerfull like udev/dbus/hal is. Ejecting CD on a CD button depends on userdaemon that you use. If you use gnome-volume-manager, then you will not be able to do this. If you use kio_media then you will be able to do this. If you use ivman... Well, I guess you know what you are doing if you use ivman. To put and end on this post - KDE 3.4 uses kio_media (which uses hal/dbus/udev). >From README: The media kioslave, new in KDE 3.4, supports the automatic mounting of removable devies, such as CD-ROM and DVD drives, USB pen drives, digital cameras, and many other types of equipment. While some functionality is available without the use of HAL, media works best with HAL (and therefore udev), in combination with pmount. Media also extends the functionality of many other kioslaves. Check which packages are recommended by the kdebase-kio-plugins package, and install accordingly. If you don't have kio_media, then you didn't install kubuntu-desktop. Install kdebase-kio-plugins and everything would be like to expect it to be. Leaving UNCONFIRMED, cause you didn't have running dbus, so no automounting could be done and it apears that you don't have kio_media, wich is needed for automounting on KDE. If you get all this programs and still don't have automount, then please check your KDE settings. kio_media has some usability bugs, but those aren't related to autmounting. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
