usb drive not automounted under /media

User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/4.3; Linux) KHTML/4.3.1 (like Gecko) SUSE On my fresh installed 11.2 my usb drive is no longer automounted under /media. This worked fine for this device with openSUSE 11.1 and any previous version. I'm using KDE4, but recently I'm using terminal windows, like xterm to work with it. When I plug in the device in previous openSUSE versions the device was avail as /media/KLAUS2048, but now it's no longer automounted. I'm able (!) to mount the device via Dolphin, but this is not the intended way, and different to previous openSUSE versions. The "KDE device notifier" is also showing me that the device is connected to my laptop, but it still doesn't appear automagicaly under /media. All those solution require, that I have to leave the focus from my terminal window and click on several KDE applications. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. ls /media ==> empty 2. <<plug in device>> 3. ls /media ==> still empty (wasn't with openSUSE-11.1) I'm able to see the device via hal: 0: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/volume_uuid_1D0E_3637' volume.fsusage = 'filesystem' (string) volume.fsversion = 'FAT16' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 3 (0x3) (int) volume.uuid = '1D0E-3637' (string) volume.label = 'KLAUS2048' (string) volume.is_mounted = false (bool) volume.is_mounted_read_only = false (bool) volume.linux.is_device_mapper = false (bool) volume.is_disc = false (bool) volume.is_partition = true (bool) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gave myself several auths via policykit: polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-removable --user <<my_username>> polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.eject --user <<my_username>> polkit-auth --grant org.freedesktop.hal.storage.mount-fixed --user <<my_username>>
There is no automounting with KDE 4.3 as shipped with openSUSE 11.2. With KDE 4.4 which will be part of openSUSE 11.3 there is support for automounting. You can configure this is systemsettings. Can you test it and tell if it works for you?
Works with KDE 4.4. Closing as Fixed.
