Problem confirmed on eMachines 250-1162 netbook - opensuse 11.3 M4

Problem confirmed on Sony VGN-A19GP Laptop - OpenSuse 11.3 RC 1

The kernel finds this device just fine, something else must not be mounting
it, it's not the kernel's job to do so.

Reassigning...

This is related to KDE. openSUSE 11.3 RC1 installed from GNOME LiveCD works fine.

I don't think this is mount(8) related. Reassigning to KDE maintainers.

I am not sure KDE is configured to automount removable devices. You can configure this behaviour in systemsettings -> Removable Devices (in the Advanced tab).

Normally you should be notified about a new connect device via the device notifier, but this was missing in the default configuration (bug 597162).

So does it work for you if you configure KDE to automount devices or do you get notfied if you add the device notifier to the system tray?

Now using 11.3 rc1
Enable automatic mounting of removable media was NOT ticked.
Should that ne enabled by default.

I can confirm that after installing from KDE livecd the automatic mounting is not ticked on. This should definately be fixed!

We do not mount removable media by default, they are shown in a popup from the device notifier. Did the popup show up for you? Is the hal package installed? Is the problem fixed if you install it, in case it's not?

(people says, it works after hal package installation)

For me, there is no reaction after inserting USB stick (hal not installed).

After hal installation – it works!

> Did the popup show up for you?
no

> Is the hal package installed?
this version 
# rpm -qa | grep -i hal
hal-0.5.14-6.6.x86_64

Glenn, do you rebooted system after hal installation?
Hal installation and reboot helped for me in 32 bit system.
My hal is:
~> rpm -qa | grep -i hal
hal-0.5.14-6.6.i586
gimp-module-hal-2.6.8-4.6.i586

I see, that you have 64 bit system.

Glenn, do you see your attached media in Dolphin?

That meens – shows popup, I can see media in Dolphin. 
It don't mounts (and it shouldn't).

re comment 6
> do you see your attached media in Dolphin?

It shows up in dolphin but there is NO popup telling you a new device is attached because of the settings in comment 9

Should that be enabled by default ?
There is NO popup telling you a new device is attached.

Instruction how to enable popup, if hal is already installed.

This is cosmetic bug:
Popup will appear after you enable an appropriate KDE widget, 
wich is not enabled by default in openSUSE 11.3 RC1.
See video – an attachment.

Glenn, 

If you confirm, that enabling of „Device Notifer“ helps for you, 
we will close this bug, because „Device Notifer“ will be by default in RC2 (see [url=https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=597162]BUG#597162[/url])

ups... BUG#597162

Hi,
I have clean install from openSUSE 11.3 RC1 KDE Live CD. Simply adding the Device Notifier widget does NOT help. It is missing true, but adding it does not show the popup, or anything else, when USB stick is connected. The media is not even shown in Dolphin.

I think the problem might be that the HAL is not installed by default?

SO there seems multiple problems, one is missing Device Notifier plasmoid, second seems to be missing HAL.

> (In reply to comment #20)

Hi again, I can confirm that doing "zypper in hal" (installing hal), adding the Device Notifier plasmoid and then rebooting solves the problem. After those steps the Device Notifier shows popup correctly and drive is mountable by clicking it. This should be fixed for the openSUSE 11.1 final release.

I have the same problem openSUSE 11.3 RC1 KDE 4.4.3 after installation is missing Device Notifier plasmoid

I'm using RC1 KDE 4.4.3 I have installed the HAL yet still USB sticks are not mounted here is the dmesg:

My above post was in error I needed to restart after the installation of HAL.
I did not do a restart until after I wrote the above post. Once that was done cd/dvd and usb works.
All in all installing hal is what is needed. The possible fix a default install of HAL?

I have started haldemon as is written here 
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=613898
and this problem has disappeared
