Hello! Sorry for sending again but last time no answers... I have problems with usage of media kioslave in new-old kde 3.4.0. As i read, it can use fstab to detect hardware in system, and also additional tools like hal. I don't use hal, and rely only on manual configured /etc/fstab and udev to mount devices by hand, with mount commands. I thought that kioslave will work but it doesn't work, or should i say, not always. With cds and floppy it works great, i can browse media contents and unmount it smoothly through kicker applet, but with usb sticks it almost always don't work (but sometimes does, i don't know why...), i can mount and unmount it but current state is not detected by kioslave, and i can't use media:/ protocol in konqueror to use usb mass storage. My /etc/fstab (removable media section)
/dev/dvdrw /mnt/dvd auto noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0 /dev/cdrw1 /mnt/cd auto noauto,users,exec,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,users,exec,rw 0 0 /dev/usb/usbdrive /mnt/usbdrive vfat noauto,users,exec,rw udev rule for usbdrives (/etc/udev/rules.d/10-local.rules, usb section for few memory sticks) BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="Flash Disk", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sd %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%k %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} usb/usbdrive" BUS="usb", KERNEL="sd?1", SYSFS{product}="USB Storage", PROGRAM="/etc/udev/scripts/scsi-devfs.sh sd %b %n", NAME="%c{1}", SYMLINK="%k %c{2} %c{3} %c{4} usb/usbdrive" Any suggestions why sometimes it DOES work with usb sticks and sometimes it doesn't? -- Michal Kurgan -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
