KDE / HAL / dbus

I am trying to setup HAL/dbus with KDE, but have hit a bit of a snag. When popping in a CD/DVD or USB device, then selecting "Open in New Window" from the prompt, I get this message ("/mnt/usbdisk" differs when using a dvd):

/mnt/usbdisk is a folder, but a file was expected.

After that error message, I can click the link on my desktop to the device, and it opens up.

Here is some relevant information:

/etc/fstab:

/dev/sr0                /mnt/dvd        auto    ro,user,noauto,nodev,nosuid0 0
/dev/sdc1       /mnt/usbdisk    auto    user,noauto,nodev,nosuid 0 0

I think it's best not to put devices into /etc/fstab at all when you want to handle them with HAL.

Removable media shall be controllable by HAL of operating system, which does automount. /etc/fstab creates hard mounts. Even if the documents or fstab examples state what you pasted, remove these lines or comment them out. Let Linux do it for you.

Re: KDE / HAL / dbus

Is there a space missing on that first line between nosuid and 0?
