Re: USB disk and KDE
Apparently, _Anthony Simonelli_, on 17/02/05 23:32,typed:
I have KDE 3.2 installed manually on Debian Testing. When I insert my
USB disk (SanDisk Cruzer Mini 128MB) it is supposed to have auto-mounted
and be accessable for a normal user but instead nothing happens. To use
the device, I have to issue the command as root: /mount -t vfat
/dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk/ and even then it is only accessable by root.
When I had gnome installed, it would automagically mount it and place a
launcher on the desktop and I could read and write as I please. Is
there something in KDE that is comparable to the functionality as found
in GNOME?
My brother uses KDE on his Sid machine. Same thing happens there too. I
guess Gnome has gnome-volume-manager (gvm) to interact with udev, hal
and dbus to automatically mount detected disks based on udev rules. KDE
doesn't have anything like gvm currently. I believe 3.4 version is
supposed to remove this deficiency. But I use Gnome primarily so my
information may not be current.
