Re: Automounter in KDE
This is a relatively old bug in KDE itself. Folks say the kio_audiocd grab the
cdrom and never let it be umounted. There is some workarounds: for example
don't open Konqueror's sidebar. You can still umount it as root, which is
course not very comfortable. Or you can modify sysctl - for me it's work just
fine with the combination with ivman.
