I believe the media manager kde service is responsible for this. Check that it is enabled by going to Control Centre -> KDE Components -> Service Manager and make sure that KDED Media Manager and Media Notifier Daemon are both checked. As far as I understand it, these 'services' are actually provided by a super-daemon called kded so it might be worth checking that it is running with: ps aux | grep kded Having said all this, your services should be ok if your cd drive gets auto-mounted correctly. As far as icons are concerned, you can add the Media Control applet to your panel or have them appear Apple-style on your desktop using the Control Centre -> Desktop -> Behaviour, Device Icons tab as previously discussed. The only other thing I can think of is that someone may have chosen the 'Do Nothing' action and enabled it as the default. To undo this, go to Control Centre -> Peripherals -> Storage Media. Select the relevant media types in turn (Mounted DVD, Blank DVD, etc.) and check that there are no auto-actions associated with them. Sorry if this sounds a bit patronising but these things happen sometimes, it took me ages to find out how to undo default auto-actions. One last thing I would mention is that I found this auto-mount mechanism to be a bit intermittent under 10.1, media would quite often fail to mount when the system was under heavy load, however, I've found it to be much improved with 10.2. Good luck, James. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
