Hi, I just upgraded to KDE 3.4 specifically so that I could use the USB automounting goodies but I can't seem to get it to work as I want it to.
When I plug the pen drive in I get this in the sys log *************SNIP******************* Sep 15 14:05:12 localhost kernel: usb 1-8.1: new full speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 11 Sep 15 14:05:12 localhost kernel: scsi10 : SCSI emulation for USB Mass Storage devices Sep 15 14:05:12 localhost kernel: usb-storage: device found at 11 Sep 15 14:05:12 localhost kernel: usb-storage: waiting for device to settle before scanning Sep 15 14:05:13 localhost usb.agent[23835]: usb-storage: already loaded Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: Vendor: Generic Model: USB Flash Drive Rev: %%z!Y Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: Type: Direct-Access ANSI SCSI revision: 02 Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 128640 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB) Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: SCSI device sdb: 128640 512-byte hdwr sectors (66 MB) Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: Write Protect is off Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: Mode Sense: 0b 00 00 08 Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: sdb: assuming drive cache: write through Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: /dev/scsi/host10/bus0/target0/lun0: p1 Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: Attached scsi removable disk sdb at scsi10, channel 0, id 0, lun 0 Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost kernel: usb-storage: device scan complete Sep 15 14:05:17 localhost scsi.agent[23881]: sd_mod: loaded successfully (for disk) Sep 15 14:05:18 localhost usbmount[23940]: executing command: mount -tvfat -osync,noexec,nodev,noatime /dev/sdb1 /media/usb0 Sep 15 14:05:19 localhost usbmount[23940]: executing command: run-parts /etc/usbmount/mount.d *************SNIP******************* and the device is automagically mounted at /media/usb0.

If I am root everything works fine and dandy and I can copy files to and from the drive. I can see the drive in konqueror under media:/ (is there supposed to be a media tab because I have to type that in manually?) however I can't safely unmount it from there as I get this error message umount: /media/usb0 is not in the fstab (and you are not root) I was under the impression that it would all just work with KDE 3.4 but it doesn't seem to. I have pmount, hal, udev, hotplug and usbutils installed. Many thanks, Graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
