kde 3.5 media manager

becho4 · 2005-12-12 22:07:47

The new kde 3.5 media manager works fine for me with usb pendrives but I have no success with cd or dvd media.
I have been looking for documentation of the media manager but found absolutely nothing so I don't know what to do to solve it.

Please, can someone shed some light over this issue?
Thanks :shock:

No it doesn't

That stupid thing wants to mount the fourth partition of my zip drive (/dev/hdd4) instead of /dev/hdd.
And there isn't even a way to change it I believe....or I don't know how it does work, running fvwm for last two years or so.
Somebody please shine a light, I need this crappy kde to work for my girlfriend but can't find out.
thanks

Does anyone know where the config file for this lives? I haven't been able to find anything at all with my google-fu, which seems to be getting weaker. It would be awfully nice if google would honor non-alpha-numeric chars in searches.

yeah ive spent a lot of time trying to find the damn files..previously, in kde 3.4 i would get all my HDD and cdroms , but in kde 3.5, only cdroms/fdd/usb stuff is displayed.

Automounting of cd's work fine here, but usb pen drives do not automount. A manual mount /dev/bla /mnt/bla works, but the reason the media manager is there is to make this unnecessary. The media manager detects the pen drives, but when I click on the icon under media:/ I just get

Could not mount device.
The reported error was:
mount: can't find /dev/sda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

Do I have to add all /dev/sda* devices to fstab or what?
Ultra-fast edit: it mounts nicely when I add it to fstab.
Still, should this really be necessary?

do you have udev/hal set up? if so they should just add the lines to fstab for you. If you don't install them and media manager will work as you expect it to.

Hmm, KDE doesn't utilize pmount/pumount anymore?

Well, I use 2.6.14-archck(from community) and I have devfs=nomount i /boot/grub/menu.lst, so udev should be working fine.
hal and dbus are added to the daemons section of rc.conf
