Well ... I'd guess there is a permissions difference between mount and umount. Check both by using "ls -l /bin/mount" and "ls -l /bin/umount" and see what the difference is. It might be simply the mode, or it might also involve group each is "owned" by.Hallo, in my KDE 3.0.3 (linux from the scratch ) I installed an CD-ROM Icon on the desk, which mounts /dev/cdrom on the mount point /media/cdrom. Klicking on the Icon ( as user ) mounts the CD-ROM perfectly. But if I then try to umount the device klicking with the right mouse on the icon and selecting "umount", I get an error message: only root can umount /dev/cdrom from /media/cdrom. What should I do to enable the "umount" ? ( why is by the way "mount" functioning ? )
The other possibility if an entry in /etc/fstab that makes mounting possible but not umounting (though I can't offhand think of a setting that will do this).
BTW, is "klicking" some KDE idiom?
