KDE4: getting rid of Dolphin

Hi,

Is there a way to get rid of the crashing Dolphin? I don't use it, but the Device Notifier does. Is there a way to keep Device Notifier functionality without Dolphin?

Re: KDE4: getting rid of Dolphin

Default apps: file-browsing: konqueror

Does this solve the problem?

Re: KDE4: getting rid of Dolphin

Yes, it does; thanks!

In Actions dialog it still suggests "Open with Dolphin", but fortunately uses the Konqueror instead .

Unfortunately, while it mounts correctly a vfat USB stick, it forgets to mount a USB NTFS hard drive (shows me my ~ directory instead); Dolphin used to manage it successfully .

i dont think that is related, since konqueror uses the dolphin_kpart anyway.

Check the HAL Wiki, since HAL needs policykit things have changed. You need to tweak your configs for ntfs to automount again.

I checked Wiki and elsewhere.

My /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-ntfs-policy.fdi:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<deviceinfo version="0.2">
<!-- mount ntfs volume with the ntfs-3g driver to enable write support -->
    <device>
        <match key="volume.fstype" string="ntfs">
            <match key="@block.storage_device:storage.hotpluggable" bool="true">
                <merge key="volume.fstype" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
                <merge key="volume.policy.mount_filesystem" type="string">ntfs-3g</merge>
            </match>
        </match>
    </device>
</deviceinfo>

No improvement to this ever suggested anywhere, to my knowledge.
