New KDE (3.5.4) will break mouting of removeable devices
Hello,
I reply to the message of Christian Schuerer 1 Aug 2006.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I send this as an info/warning to all who use the new version of KDE: mounting
removeable devices such as an USB pen drive won't work anymore. There are
workarounds and an explicit bug report (#377689) already:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=377689
You will have to add:
<!-- Allow plugdev members to mount volumes -->
<policy group="plugdev">
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume"/>
<allow send_interface="org.freedesktop.Hal.Device.Volume.Crypto"/>
</policy>
to /etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf - but there are other issues yet unsolved,
read the bug report for more details.
Kind regards,
Christian

I am in debian Etch and Kde 3.5.4 and the file hal.conf seems right according
the message of christian.
I can't mount automatically any USB Key, the only one i can mount manually are
those declared in an udev rules.
If i put an USB key he is recognize by Kde and he open Konqueror to
system:/media/sde1 but the system file he is always empty, automatically or
manually it does not work.
If i mount by fstab and udev rules, the system files on the usb key are
mounted, and he appears also on system:/media/sde1
All my users are in plugdev group and in /etc/group
I have looking to the bug 377689 and i don't see if this problem is solved or
what i can do to have ansolution.
Best regard.
